In North Carolina last year, Joe
Hughes, Chairman of tho Orange
County Chapter Campaign, points
out, the Red Cross-assisted more
-than 36,000 servicemen's rtunf war
Veterans’ families with their wel
fare problems, spent $463,000 in
behalf of 3,200 disaster-stricken
families, 'and trained thousands of
persons in safety skills and home
care of the sick.
In a report to Governor Hodges,
K. C. Lattimer,' .Director of Red
Cross Field Services in the South
easter Area, also cited disaster
operations in 22 counties, mostly
for victims of hurricanes Connie,
Diane and lone in Coastal Carolina.
Most of the $463,000 granted these
victims was for home reconstruct
ion and refurnishing and for ex
tended family maintenance until
homes could again be made habi
table. Funds granted were an out
right gift, according to the report.
"This is the only poetical way
we have of helping victims oi such
disasters,” Chafhrtan Hughes
points out. "It is not practical for
us to go to the scene In person,
untrained and inexperienced in
such Work, no (natter how much
