If he needs hospitalization, a member will help him apply, and if he requires vocational training or job counseling the veteran can find a specialized agency. Constant Help Recently a worried veteran came into the Lane County Red Cross office. The doctor had just told him that his wife must have an opera tion immediately, but he said he was not able to meet the expenses. A Red Cross worker obtained the details and immediately arrange ments were made to have his wife taken to the hospital. Sitting down in a nearby chair the veteran said, “You don’t know what this means to know that my wife will be taken care of.’’ Disaster Relief Many other families need help in adjusting themselves to the old life. And it is not only the returned servicemen who need the Red Cross. During the recent Spring field disaster the Red Cross housed, fed, and clothed the many families forced by the flood to abandon their homes.

House groups consisting of from five to over fifty buildings are located near each cultivated area. They are of pole construction with grass thatching. Rectangular build ings are used as swine sheds, and the round buildings are used for living purposes. Recalls Impressions Huffaker laughed as he recalled their first impressions of the peo ple, “We thought they were a giant race raising pigs as large as wat er buffalo, because from the air there were no known objects by which we could measure their size so we tried to guess'using un known objects.” Later reports proved, however, that the natives and their pigs were of normal size. Swine are the chief food ani mal of the natives, and their ag ricultural efforts yield yams, ba nanas, sugar cane, tobacco and gourds. These products were iden tified from photographs by a bot anist working with the unit. The botanist claimed that the banana trees had been introduced into the valley by the people as there were no wild trees in the region. “A system of horizontally poled fences that are thatched on top give the appearance of fortifica tions,” Huffaker said, “however, the pattern of drainage ditches and fences seems to be for the control of swine.” He commented that at first the natives ran for cover at sight of the planes and had oc casionally fired spears and arrows at them; however, at the time of departure they were becoming used to the plane visitors. Previous to their trip to the Pa cific, Huffaker’s unit was in South America where they became slight ly involved in the border dispute between Ecuador and Peru. “We made a map of the border area which quieted them for a few weeks, but it wasn’t long before they got into another squabble,” Huffaker laughed. Huffaker graduated in the class of '40, and is the son of C. L. Huf faker, professor of education at-< the University.
