Fr!., Jan. 29, 1954 and what its functions are through aiuues ui w press auu xautu, "People have lost sight of the prv mary functions of the Red Cross," ne tarn. He credited this as a reason for much misunderstanding about "great humanitarian society," and too many people think it is to be turned to only in time of need. By adding many secondary functions to the primary purposes the Red Cross reaches a point where "it can't handle every situation," he related. This means some people become disgruntled, he pointed out Mrs. Mildred Herman, local Red Cross secretary, listed the primary functions as: (1) furnishing volun teer aid to sick and wounded of the armed forces, (2) acta in mat ters of voluntary relief, (3) as a medium of communication between people of the U. S. and thier armed forces and (4) disaster pre paredness ana renei, He said the way to erase the misconception is to inform people what the Red Cross does in the day-to-day course of work. As an example, he pointed out the local Red Cross office turned over 675 pints of blood to local hospitals last year. At $25 a pint, the money value exceeds the amount raised for operation of the organization hero, he said Boocher's call to arms preceded a workshop in the Roseburg Armory conducted by Harold M. Davis, field representative of the Red Cross for Oregon. He came from Salom to explain the mechan ics of a membership drive to secure both money and member support. A panel discussion com P'eted the membership drive scs sion for the Southwestern Oregon counties. The membership drive is sched uled to begin March 1 under the direction of Kenneth Barneburg. j Mrs. L. E. Adams is residential! chairman.
