INCLUDING DROUGHT RELIEF IN a year of unusual weather con ditions all over the world, the United States was especially hard hit, and in ti.e twelve months endlns June 30, 1931, the American Red Cross had given disaster relief in thirty-eight of the forty-eight state's. With the exception of a mine ex plosion, an epidemic of typhoid fever, a mine cave-in and a r-ilrozd accident, these disasters were ail due to the elements. They were for est fires, tornadoes, floods, siorms, cloudbursts and drought. The drought, which spread over twenty-three states in the summer and fall of 1930, and has again wrought untold havoc in northwest ern states in 1931, accounted for Red Cross relief in twenty-three states. The other disasters were, without exception, carried on simul taneously with the drought relief, and placed a heavy burden, not alone upon the funds ol the national Red Cross, but upon its trained per sonnel of disaster relief workers. At the peak of the drought relief, more than two million persons were being fed, clothed or given other help, and in all of the work more than 2,750,000 men, women and children were cared for by the Red Cross. Funds for the drought relief were obtained, in part, through public contributions, because of the mag nitude of the numbers affected. The U. S. Gov. Map. public gave more than $10,000,000 and the American Red Cross ap propriated $5,000,000 from its treas ury. The cost of the other disaster relief operations .vas borne from the Red Cross treasury, and local funds contributed in the stricken commu nities. This disaster work ot the Red Cross is supported, in part, from the annual roll call for members which occurs each year between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Da.Uach person who 'joins as a member of the Red Cross is contributing to ward this effective and important emergency relief, should calamities occur anywhere affecting lives of their fellow citizens.
