Mrs. Thomas ChappeU will present her piano and organ students in a recital on Fri day night, May 14, at 8 o'clock at the Perquimans Central Grammar School. The public is cordially in vited to attend. With the Red Cross Fund Campaign now being con ducted in Perquimans Coun ty, Buddy Tilley, campaign chairman, would like to point out one of the many services offered to the peo ple of Perquimans County through the Home Service Program. The , Home Service Pro gram is set up primarily to aid servicemen and their families in any way possible. So many people do not know that the only way in which a serviceman may come home in an emergency is through the verification of the emergency by the local Red Cross Chapter. This re quest is made by the R"d Cross field director on the serviceman's base. The Red Cross cannot and is not able to grant leaves they can only verify conditions which might warrant the military granting the requested leave and help make arrangements for the leave. During the past year the local home service under rlie chairmanship of Mrs. Marion S. Swindell, has assisted in a variety of cases from get ting a serviceman home due to the critical illness of his father to loaning money to a serviceman who did not have enough money to re turn him to his base. Also, the local chapter has made house visits to a serviceman's family at the request of the field director on the hase. Often, due to pressing problems of run ning a house and raising a family without a husband at home, a wife may neglect to write as often as she should. Being overseas, problems facing a serviceman become magnified because of his in ability to be there to take care of them. Worried, he contacts his base Red Cross Chapter, . ..who. in turn con-, tacts his home ' chapter and requests a visit to the fam ily and a report of thoir health and welfare. Since there is no Travel er's Aid or similar organiz ation in Perquimans County, the local Home Service Chairman once in a while is asked to help a family stranded in the county be cause of car trouble, lack of funds for medicine, ee. This is done, if funds are available and the need is verified through the proper channels". The local chairman often calls on local ministers to help in situations which need their advice and help. All Red Cross workers in Perquimans County are vol untary workers. None of the money raised in the campaign drive is used to pay any local workers, only to carry on the work of the local chapter.
