"Credit for this largest peace-time

who contributed a Red Cross relief

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

only in case of large scale disasters

made.
This year the Roll Call Is from No

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.

Red Cross Replaces Farm
Fam ily Losses
The Red Cross gave agricultural
rehabilitation to 10,116 farm fam
ilies following the severe eastern
floods of last winter. 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.
Red Cross agricultural rehabilita
tion benefited nearly three times as
many families as received all other
types of Red Cross occupational re
habilitation combined.
