Red Cross service on the home front
has expanded with the ever-increasing
demand upon it. 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.”

Red Cross Faces Greatest
Task in Fourth War Year
WASHINGTON, n. 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.
