Launch National Campaign to
Perfect Preparedness Plans
in Every Community.
A nation-wide campaign to strength

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

years of disaster relief—show that

A ll was well on the telephone front on April 27,1928.
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

as in the daily tasks of extending and maintaining
the nation-wide network, is seen the wisdom of One

WrfO IS HE?
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.
