This record does not Include the
S t Gouls tornado which occurred In
the current flscal year, as did a num­
ber of other storms and disasters
•toes, la which the Red Cross provid­
ed relief.
Included In the list of 111 disasters
covered by the record of the past
year's relief operations of the Red
Cross, are earthquakes, explosions,
mine disasters, a cloudburst, a hail­
storm. Urea, floods, hurricanes, a rail­
road wreck, a scarlet fever epidemic,
typhoid epidemic, tornadoes, and a
typhoon. The latter occurred In the
Philippines, but Is Included In the
operations at home. In all. the Red
Cross extended its services In 77 ma­
jo r disasters In the United States and
In SO abroad. Including a hurricane
over Havana. Cuba, and the Isle of
Pines, one In the Bahamas, and oth­
ers through various West Indian re­
gions. Are In Porto Rico, another In
H a iti, earthquakes in Arm enia. Japan
and Albania, floods in Jugo Slav la
and Mexico.
The organisation conducted refugee
re lis t operations in Syria. Bulgaria
and China, the latter largely due to
(actional wars (ought over various
parte ot China the past year.
The two outstanding disasters at
home were the Florida hurricane and
the Mississippi Valley flood Rehabili­
tation operations of tbs la tte r disaster
are still In progress under the Kao
Cross A national appeal dor funds
was made la both disasters, resulting
la contributions for relief amounting
to more than >(0.000,000.
The Mississippi flood Is the out­
standing disaster in the whole hletory
of the Red Cross disaster relief serv­
ice. In this one catastrophe the oh
ganlxatlon raised through subscrip­
tions by the people of the country and
foreign nations approximately >17,-
000.000 for relief use
Aided by this
fund It fed. clothed, sheltered or oth­
erwise assisted more than (00.004 hu­
man beings, fed and cared for ap­
proximately (00,000 head of livestock
and established 119 refugee camps
The flood inundated approximately
(0.000 square miles and affected 171
counties in eight states. Some 330.-
#00 homeless persons were sheltered
In Red Cross camps. When the emer­
gency was at Its height the Red Cross
was serving more than a million
meals a day.
» So vast was the work imposed on
the Red Cross and alllejl agencies
conducting rehabilitation that thia
phase of the flood relief task Is ex­
pected to extend well into the coming
year. Up to September 15. 101.111
families In the flood sone had been
given réhabilitât sn assistance by the
Red Cross, and 1,700.000 acres of
flooded crop land In seven States had
been replanted with Red Cross aid
There had been expended or commit­
ted for expenditure in connection
with this relief and rehabilitation
work a total of >15,660,000.
The appeal for a nation-wide mem
bership Increased to 5.000.000 adult
members, it was pointed out, is based
on the realization that demands on
Red Cross service such as occasioned
by disaster relief are Increasing each
year. For that reason especial Im
portance Is lent to the Eleventh An­
nual Roll Call of the organization, to
be held from Armistice Day. N o w m
ber 11. to Thanksgiving. November
21, during which this membership
w ill be built up.
