The OSEGOII STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Sunday. Morning. February 27, 1941 Volunteers Without Them, No By MAXINE BUREN , - Statesman Woman's 1 Editor 1 T Red Cross work and volunteer work are synonomous, for almost all work undertaken by this great organization, depends upon the people of toe community for accomplishment. . -, -' I At the annual meeting of Marion county Red Cross Friday night we learned many things. No one could come away from that meeting without some ambitions to help out in a bigger ana better way. Take home service for In stance, the part of Red Cross work where service men's famU- . lea are aided. While there is one paid social worker, there are 12 especially trained Salem volun teers and 19 others from over the county, to help accomplish the necessary work, 2,650 volun teer hours were contributed in 1MJ.' . ; Almost 104,000 volunteer hours ' were given to producing the 15, 000 garments made in Marion county in 1943,' and sent to sery- ' ice men or refugees. i Volunteer nutritionists who work through the Marion coun ty Red Cross, number 28. There are 36 first aid instructors work ing out of the office, who have trained almost a thousand first aid experts. In the administration depart ment i volunteer .- staff assistants spent 5,298 hours : working for the Red Cross as against the time of one paid executive and one paid assistant. Forty three volunteers are responsible for, office administration and 16 mo tor corps volunteers meet needs of the chapter for transportation. Home nursing and nurses aid work is one of the big services rendered communities by the Red Cross in this war. Shortage of trained nurses has forced the Red Cross to do something, and their answer to the problem was to form home nursing classes, so women could learn home care of their own families, thus reliev ing the trained nurses, public health associations and the fam ily physicians. This has ? been highly successful. Nurses aides, of which - there were 73 by the end of last year, are replacing graduate nurses in every possible way. Nurses aides have nationally gained the re- spect and admiration of physi cians, hospital authorities and of the patients whom they admin ister to. Nurses aides have un tiringly done much of the "dir ty work" around hospitals, al ways cheerfully, always with skill. The 1943 report reveals that : 12,096 hours were given by these aides, entirely without pay. . - . 1 Lastly we mention the blood donor program, top most con-. tribution of the- Red Cross to wan f Workers at the weekly center in Salem are entirely vol unteer. Retired graduate nurses go regularly to assist, a group of motor corps members attends to clerical detail, volunteers assist in setting up the, equipment, men workers assist with other details and volunteer nurses come from Portland to take the blood, assisted- by local nurses' aides. And then of course, every pint of the 7,283 in 1943 given, was ' entirely volunteer. (A limit has been put on the amount of blood nurses aides are allowed to give, their skill is more valuable to the blood donor bank than even'their blood). - Special interest was given Fri day night's meeting by the talk: given by Cpl. G. I. Jones, a pa-; tient at Barnes hospital, who served as a , commando in the south Pacific and at Attu, and will soon join his old outfit which is now active in the new WORKMANSHIP TO MATCH THE W v.
