5».7«7 Soldier Cases a Month
Ths Red Cross work for the dis
abled soldier la designated “home ser
vice,“ for it gives Individual attention
to the man and his fam ily approxi
m ating the interest and loving care
of the home. Such service in the hos
pitals. camps, soldiers' homes and
sanatoria, averaged 33,951 cates a
month during the year.
Assistance !
to ex-service men and th eir de pen- !
dents averaged 58.767 cases a month, i
In addition, the Red Cross In the last I
tw elve months provided 33.000 recre- j
atio n and entertainm ent events in the
hospitals and camps.
Thus the Red Cross, symbolised as i
the "Greatest M other.” s till watches
over these many thousands of men. i
comforts them, h e lp i to lighten the te
dium of th eir physical reconstruction. j
and In their homes lifts some of the
burdens from th eir "own people."
W o rk in Communities Increases
T he home service of the Red Cross |
was the most pressing duty of 2.609
Chapters, an increase of 182 communi- '
ties where problems affected by the j
w a r veteran's condition required so
lution through im m ediate and in te lli
gent assistance. T he Chapters alone
expended some *2.000.000 In this
work.
The transient disabled soldier, usu
a lly suffering from disability or tu b e r-!
culosis. is almost everyw here a grave
problem.
From national funds the
past year *173.076.36 was expended in
helping the Chapters to care for these
wandering men.
According to government report
there are 1.800 veterans in civilian In
stitutlons, and in the national homes
for soldiers the complications are in
creasing.
The large groups of pa
tients whose claims have been dlsal
lowed, of veterans of foreign wars, j
and the great number of men perma
n ently resident in these institutions <
call for Red Cross work which can ’
not be avoided nor denied.
Definite Service to 73,700
O f a total of 81.500 ex-service men !
In hospitals and other Institutions 73.- !
700 were rendered a definite and spe
cialized service by the Red Cross :
In a single month 1,185 new cases'
w ere presented and a total of 20,1251
was acted upon— figures which serve
to illustrate the magnitude of the In
form ation and claims service engag
lng the attention of Red Cross work
ers. New veteran legislation amend
lng the W a r Risk act which extends I
many additional rights to disabled ex
service men w ill reopen thousands oil
cases and require still greater R e d :

S WOULD
we stand for a law that

kept 3000 families out of Oregon?
Of course we wouldn’t! So it’s up to us to vote the
antagonistic Income Tax Law out of existence!
For it has already lost for Oregon payrolls amount
ing to more than six million dollars ($6,000,000)
a year! And six million dollars means at least
3000 families who are lost to Oregon’s popula
tion in just one year under this dangerous law.
