Red Cross services to the armed forces are available wherever U. 8 I ?erViccmcn are stalioned. Here a Red Cross field director goe* right to a young j sailor at work on his ship for the facts he need# to help solve a problem. | mrms mrmtctons SOLVE SERVICEMEN'S. PROBLEMS l'he sailor was younz. He had. finished his home leave in a southern coastal City and was heading back to 4tis California base. He said goodby to hi* parents and Co an older brother, a marine veteran juat returned from service. Then he left by bus. A few hours later the older brother waa killed in an automobile accident. The family .appealed to the Red Cros* to locate the younger son so he could return home. Within a short while a Red Cross chapter secretary along the route in tercepted the bus, broke the news, and ?helped the lad get started back home. There the chapter got in touch with Mm leld director at the west coast base ?si verified the facta for . the com manding officer who was being asked to extend the sailor's leave. Oaee or ?sere every minute, around ?the clock last year, the Red Cross per formed seme service for members of the Military forcea and their families. Among the nearly three quarters of a ?sNIion eases handled, a large percent age Involved supplying verified infor asatton concerning home conditions re pairing emergency leave or extension *f leave. While the Red Cross cannot grant leave to a serviceman, military authorities depend upon iU pott field directors and the network of chapter* for reports of conditions underlying such leave requests. Field directors in 364 military in stallations and hospitals and 1,059 itinerant- and sub-stations in this coun- 1 try and abroad aid servicemen with persona) problems that range from babies and budgets to helping straight en out delays that hold up pay or family allowances. The serviceman has his family prob lems, marital difficulties, financial strains, and family illnesses? all dis turbing to morale. . Field director*, providing 24-houi service at military installations, ar? pretty much in the same situation as the family doctor. They are rooted oat of bed at all bomrs to face any one of a hundred complicated problems. Some time* it may be to get a report on the condition oi m critically ill member of a soldier's family, or to lend him money for an uuecgcncy trip home, or to find homing for ;* family unexpectedly arriving at the post. Whatever the problem, the service man feels free to turn to the Red Cross for help, knowing that he will find a sympathetic friend in the man wear ing the Red Cross uniform. r V.

More About Narrow Fabrics (Cont'd from tront page) claims assets for the company of $237,000, and liabilities of *161, OOu. He says the company's financial troubles are due to no available working capital with which to pro duce and deliver against $52,000 in orders now in hand. Another trou ble, he states, is failure of customers' to give shipment instructions on or ders already contracted for. The company was employing some 35 persons until it ceased operations about three greeks ago. , j Mr. Riley, told the Herald that the voluntary bankruptcy move by the company was an effort to protect 1 creditors. "Under forced sale," he said, "it Is doubtful that the full1 worth of the company would be re-J allied. Operating, the company can meet its obligations in full." Mr. Riley said the company Is currently capitalized at $73,000. He, said the company originaMy secured a loan of $55,000 from the Recon struction Finance Corporation and currently owes the RFC $38,000, which figure is included In the" statement of liabilities..' His letter to creditors follows: ?"Since the beginning of its oper- ! ations in 1947 this Corporation has been operating in ah undercapital ized condition. Had it been possible to begin our operations with a corps of trained labor rather than being forced to train everyone except the foremen of the shifts, the undercap- ' italized condition might have been overcome. However, due to labor in- j consistency amounting to a turnover of 80 percent both the finst and sec- ; ond years of operations, what pro- j gress could be made was consumed by the unusually high cost of labor coupled with the necessity of bor- j rowing money on which to operate. . "In the spring of 1949 the opera- I tions of the Corporation assumed a highly satisfactory and profitable point w\}h reasonable expectation of contint/ation. Unfortunately, In Uune ! of 1949 most of our customers ceased purchasing temporarily or held up ! on orders already contracted for in order to fall back on d*id reduce in ventories which they had on hand. During June, July, August and Sep tember altogether we have had less new orders than at any one month i since October, 1947, and our sales connections were apparently pow erless to Improve the situation. At the present time there is considera ble increase in sales through new sales connections but the Corpora tion cannot meet its sales commit ments in its present frozen condi tion. "With assets of $237,000.00 and liabilities of 5161,000.00 the Corpora tion has no working capital availa ble with which to produce and de liver against the 900,000.00 in ord ers which it has on its books. In order to protect the best Interests of *11 of the creditors rather than a few and to give free opportunity to the possibility of reorganization of .the Corporation along more stable lines, we have, this date, filed a petition for relief under Section 77 B of the Federal Bankruptcy Act. The notice of the meeting of the creditors of the Corporation will be forthcoming at which meeting the management will be present for the purpose of furnishing any information which the creditors may desire."

More About Graham Promises (Cont'd from front page) serving the most people. "I hope that the day has passed." he said, "when rural children have, to mif? two to four weeks of school ' due to bad roads.' He said the highway commission ? .. I intends to maKe the $200 million I go as far as possible, consistent with good roads. "I would rather build one mile of good road, rather than three miles of poor road which would be wear ing out in three to four years," he declared. Commissioner Graham said that the delay in the beginning of the rural road9 program was due to lack of money in regular highway funds. "The former commission spent all the money th?y possibly could, leaving the new commission only sufficient funds for mainte nance," he declared. Martin Harmon presented Mr. Graham. . Guests at the meeting included members of the city board of com missioners, Mayor J. E. Herndon, Lewis B. Peck, division highway en gineer, and Tom Cornwell, Shelby, and Wayne L.
