contestants for the various stunts.
This brought forth much merriment
and as the winner of the different
sides had gained points in the contests
they were greeted by the college yells
from their chosen sides. Two or the
community grandmothers run a three
legged race with two of the most pop
ular and- handsome young men of the
community, the latter being contest
ants from the Oregon University per
haps it is needless to say that the Ore
gon yell was almost deafening and
gained for Eugene a point. The po
tato race, jumping and blowing
candle and many new and unusual
stunts were given which proved to be
one of the best merry making pro
grams that has ever been given at ;
any affair at Jennings Lodge. At the

During th e calendar year of 1921,
the American Red Cross spent $9,782,
000 in assitance to disabled veterans
of the World War, according to a re
port from Judge John Barton Payne,
national chairman, which , was receivj
ed here by the local chapter. Of the
total sum which was expended in the
work, $7,000,000 was dispensed through
local red cross chapters over the
country and the remainder through
the national organization itself.
The expenditures by the National
organization, amounting to $2,782,000,
included $1,754,000 for direct service
through officials oft he National or
ganization to disabled ex-service men,
virtually all of whic hwas for those
actually in hospitals; and $72,000 ex
pended for the Red Cross Institute
for the Blind. There was expended
in promoting and establishing Chapter
work for disabled veterans $956,000.
.' By far the greater part of Red cross
service to the disabled, all of which
Is supplementary to the relief accord
ed by the -government, is accomplish
ed by the Chapters,: the local organi
zation, of neighbors coming most fre
quently into contact with these men
and their families. Of 3,648 Chapters
more than 2,500 were, on October 31,
1921, still maintaining service to vet
erans. The principal forms of service are
as follows:
The Red Cross Chapter aids in put
ting the disabled man in effective re
lation with the government that he
may obtain his full rights. This in it
self is often a technical and difficult
job, involving the filling out of numer
ous detailed forms and procuring ne
cessary evidence and affidavits.
The Chapter helps the disabled man
and his family in time of trouble, such
as sickness of any of the family, legal
difficulties, discouragement. Pending
payment by the government of claims
the- Chapter also stands ready. to ex
tend financial assitance when neces
sary. Including all forms of assist
ance, the report shows that the Chap
ters rendered services in more than
250,000 instances each month of 1921.
Chapters with jurisdictions contain-,
ing hospitals, district offices or train
ing centers of the Veterans' Bureau
provide service to many disabled men
transiently in their territory. Such
assistance frequently- requires large
expenditures with the result that some
Chapters require assistance from Na
tional Headquarters to finance this
work.
Many Chapters provide recreation
and various personal (comforts for
veterans at training centers and in
govenment hospitals, either individ
ually or in cooperation with the Amer
ican Legion, Knights of Columbus and
other patriotic organizations. Chapters
upon request, also furnish information
concerning conditions at home when
such information is necessary to the
comfort or physical welfare of those
in hosiptals.
The National organization main
tains medical social service in hospi
tals and district ofifces of the Vetet
ans' Bureau and national homes for
disabled volunter soldiers. Statistics
for December, 1921, a typical month,
shows a Red Cross staff of 604 full
time paid workers giving service to
40,028 men. Chapter volunteers also
help in this work, which includes as
sistances in obtaining medical histor
ies and maintaining communcation
with the families.
Through Camp Service and National
organization provides similar assis
tance to disabled men in Army and
Navy general and post hospitals, this
Red Cross staff numbering 55 and
serving ex-service men to the number
of 3,493 during the month of Decem
ber, 1921.
