The second great field cited is that of government.

The third field is that of science. Pointing out a number of medical and other discoveries in Recent years that have done much to speed the progress of the world, Dr. Hunter outlined opportunities that are open to the research work er as well as the practical sciei- tist. The reward for this type of work is not only material, but a great sense of spiritual achieve- ment and satisfaction as well, he emphasized.

Red Cross Has Busy Year Aiding Disaster Victims The American Red Cross asaDtcd sufferers in more disasters through out the United States during the year ending June 30, 1S35, than through any similar period in the peace-time history of the orgunira tlon. Admiral Cary T. Grayeon; chairman, revealed recently in com menting on the annual report which has just been released. "The 128 domestic disasters in which the Red Cross extended aid during the fiscal year exceeded by 56 per cent the average over the past few years,’’ Admiral Grayson said 'Not only was the period heavy in ‘.he number of ditasters. but the geo- traphical distribution was wide, with 37 States and 353 counties af fected. "Through these disasters and times of community distress, the Red Cross assisted 110,000 persons,’’ the Admiral disclosed. Spectacular service was rendered in many disasters because of the uniqueness of the problems and the far-flung points affected. The vrork of the National organization cov ered in the report carries stories of the Morro Castle 'burning; the trench-mouth epidemic in the beau tiful San Luis Valley of Colorado; the great fight over a wide front in the midwest dust bowl against re spiratory diseases; floods, hurrl- '•anes, and tornadoes in many sec- ‘ions of the United States. In addition to the disasters taking »lace within the continental limits of this country Admiral Grayson work had been nolntcd made necessary by disasters In Ha wail.
