Mr. O’Connor said. In addition to collecting more than ten million pints of blood for plasma since the beginning of the war, the Red Cross has met requests of the Army and Navy for whole blood shipments to European and Pacific battle areas. Ten centers on the East and West coasts already participate in the collection of Type O whole blood, while others stand ready to join in that program as mili tary needs warrant. At four packaging centers, manned by volunteer workers, more than 20,- 000,000 food parcels have been turned out in a steady stream for shipment to prisoners of war and civilian internees in Germany and the Far East. Surgical dressings- -775.000,000 of them—were prepared In the past year alone for front Une and hospital use. Production w-orkers in hundreds of communities have continued the never ceasing pro gram of making warm garments for destitute civilians in war-torn countries overseas, and in those countries the Red Cross has assisted the Army in caring for refugees and homeless peo ple. Nor has Its service to the armed forces on a global scale caused any relaxation on the part of the Red Cross to carry out its traditional service to the American people in time of disas ter. More than 200 domestic disasters —floods, high winds and fires—have found Red Cross workers on the job to relieve stricken families and to aid in the rebuilding of communities. "The need for Red Cross services in the coming year will be greater than ever before.” Mr. O'Connor said. “In fulfilling the Red Cross appeal for $200,000,000, the American people will indicate its wholehearted hacking of men hi the front lines.” C +:11 . -a I I D.

C. — Facing the greatest task In its history in serving American fighting men on advancing war fronts overseas, their families at home, their buddies returning to the United States after discharge, and the American people in emergencies on the home front, the American Red Cross will launch its third War Fund cam paign March 1. That the American people will re spond with overwhelming generosity to the appeal for $200,000,000 to carry on this world-wide program is already Indicated In the nation-wide determina tion to meet all its war needs and to bring the five-year struggle to an early •nd successful conclusion. In every invasion during the past year, Chairman Basil O’Connor of the American Red Cross said, Red Cross workers have either gone with the troops, or have followed within a very short time. Red Cross field directors were with General Eisenhower s men in the great amphibious invasion of France, and with General MacArthur's forces when they returned to the Phil- ippines. Ten thousand men and women wear the Red Cross uniform overseas, serv- ing In every theatre of war and with every command. They work in leave clubs, clubmobiles, rest houses, hospi tals. Red Cross men attached to fight ing units are with those outfits even In actual combat, Red Cross girls dis pense snacks at air fields, along truck ing supply routes, behind front areas and in liberated cities. Many, both men and women, are on duty at scores of isolated outposts throughout the world, and give aid to wounded men in hospitals and on hos pital ships, planes and trains. Away from the battle areas, thousands more serve at military and naval installa- tions within the United States.
