Red Cross workers have either gone with Invasion forces into new combat areas, or have followed within a very limited time On the nome ' front, the Red os« has broadened its service tremendously. Field director* are serving in every sizable military establishm ent and camp through out the country, and recreation and social service workers are located in Army and Naval hospitals. One of the moat Important and necessary war-time Red Cross func tions has been the collection of human blood for plasma. Thirty- five blood donor stations are now operating. The dram atic story of the Red Cross Blood Donor Service, through which thousands of soldiers and aallais have been saved from death, began In February, 1941, when the Surgeons General of the Army and Navy asked the Red Cross to pro cure 15,000 pints of blood. Last year more than 3,700,000 pints of blood were collected for the Army and Navy. This year the goal is more than 5.000,000 pints. With m ajor battles of the war yet to come, the Army has asked the Red Cross to supply many mil lions of surgical dressings. American men wounded In battle will depend acutely on the vast Red Cross surgical dressing production pro gram. Numerous other Red Cross home operations, such as Prisoner of War packaging centers, where more than a million parcels for war prisoners are prepared each month for shipm ent overseas, are sup ported by citizen participation in the Red Cross War Fund. So extensive is Red £ ro ss ^ervlce during this war that every Amer ican civilian can contribute some thing to at least one of its func tions. To continue this gigantic work, all Americans must assume their share of the responsibility of carrying on this far reaching service. The >200,000,000 quota will en able Red Cross to alleviate suffer ing and pain at home and abroad, and to carry on Its vast military welfare service.

From his draft card to his honorable discharge, his records are kept on i t His rations are packed in it; his cartridges are wrapped in it; his shoes are liped with it; his letters are written on it. ‘ His barracks are built with paper wall- board, paper roofing, paper insulation. He shoots at paper targets, eats from paper plates, drinks from paper cups. KEEP ON His battles are planned, his orders are issued on paper. Literally, he lives, trains, travels and fights, with paper his indispensable ally.
