"Credit for this largest peace-time relief operation in the history of the nation must go to the American people who contributed a Red Cross relief fund of more than »25,000,000,” Admiral Grayson said. During the year the Red Cross gave aid to the victims of 105 other dis asters in 36 states, Alaska and the District of Columbia. The Red Cross financed the m ajority of these relief operations from money contributed through memberships during the an nual Roll Call last November, since it is only in case of large scale disasters th at a national drive for relief funds is made. This year the Roll Call Is from No vember 11th to the 25th. The Red Cross seeks a greater membership to meet its disaster relief and other service obligations during 1938. Last year Red Cross Chapters gave vital help to 120.000 needy families. Associated OIL CO.

Types of aid Included feed, seed, livestock, farm tools and machinery and other items essential to agricultural productiv ity. More than »599,000 was ex pended by the organization to meet these requirements. In addition to occupational as sistance, rural families hard hit by the flood w aters were rescued, clothed, fed and sheltered by the Red Cross. Where It was necessary the Red Cross repaired and re built out buildings, bam s and other structures. Medical and nursing care were provided and homes re furnished.
