HERMISTON ITERALO, HERMISTON. OREGON. RED C R n y CHAPTERS STRENGTHEN FORCES FOR DISASTER RELIEF Launch National Campaign to Perfect Preparedness Plans in Every Community. A nation-wide campaign to strength en plana tor preparedness against dis aster and tor emergency relief has been launched by the American Red Cross through Its Chapters. The pro gram Is Intended to perfect disaster preparedness committees In the ten thousand communities reached by Red Cross Chapters and their branches. When carried out, through commit tees ot men and women in the com munities, It will insure that should a disaster come, an organization for emergency relief. Including every modern method science has perfected —such as the radio, the airplane, the motor car and watercraft—can be mobilized to bring assistance, with the promptitude applied by the Red Cross in recent major disasters, such as the West Indies hurricane and the Mississippi Valley flood. These enlarged and strengthened plans for disaster relief are set forth in the revised Red Cross manual, "When Disaster Strikes,” which has been placed in the hands ot every Red Cross chairman throughout the nation. The plan to encourage adoption of these added disaster preparedness methods was begun at this time be cause Red Cross records—covering 48 years of disaster relief—show that the period of the greatest number ot disasters, large and small, ra::g»s from the early Spring through the early Fall. • The Record of 48 Years tinent, Red Cross expenditures for re lng duplication, such as occurs when lief totalled $29,188,908.

Co-ordination of all of the societies, organized groups and institutions In the locality Is urged, so that all effort for emergency relief will be directed without conflict.

Suddenly, out of a spring sky, rain began to fall, and as night came on this turned into a furious storm of sleet, snow and wind. In 48 hours, 3700 telephone poles and 7000 miles of wire were down; 39 exchanges were isolated; 11,000 telephones were silent. Repair crews were instantly sent to the scene. In record time 1000 men from five states were on the job. Within 72 hours the isolated exchanges and tele phones were back in service. In any crisis there are no state lines in the Bell System. In all emergencies of flood or storm, as well as in the daily tasks of extending and maintaining the nation-wide network, is seen the wisdom of One Policy, One System, Universal Service. C. F.

He is the chap who gives you credit wheif you are f inancilly broke and carries your account unutil you are able to pay. He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes ex changes when you are not satisfied with what you have bought. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and lets you out wi*-h a message to the “kids” and a real “Come again, goodbye.” He is the chap whose clerks live in the home town and spend their money with you and other local people. He is the chap who helps support your churches and charitable or ganizations and talks for the home town and boosts for it every day in the year He is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to your family when you die, and follows your body out among the trees as far as human feet may travel. He is the home merchant — your neighbor — your friend—your helper in time of need. Don’t you think you ought to trade with him, and be bis friend and his helper too? Don’t you know that the growth and prosperity of your town depends very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchant? Out-of-town people judge your city by the ap pearance of the stores and the degree of enterprise fthown by the home merchants.
