E IN HE Of NEED A nationwide relief organisation. comprising more than 3.600 Individual local unite and approximately 200,000 members, will be prepared to go into immediate and coordinated action In the event of disaster In any section of the country, as a result of action taken by the delegates to the recent 38th annual national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, at Buffalo. N. Y. The organization wlU be a perma nent one, according to Commander Etha W. Wall, post 1833 of this city, who last night addressed the mem bers of his unit concerning the 1937 1938 objectives and program of the oversells veterans' organization. One of the resolutions adopted by the encampment provided for the election or appointment of a national disaster relief committee to act directly with the various units of the organization and with other relief agencies when deemed necessary. Thus would be unified the work of thousands of Individual posts In cities and towns throughout the country, while stote chairmen would, In each case, super vise the respective activities of the 1 units In their own areas. Inspiration for the plan, according to Commander Wall, was found by the officers and members of tho Vet erans of Foreign Wars of the United States In the Ohio river valley floods of last spring and the previous year. 1 In both emergencies, V. F. W. posts and members Instantly mobilised in their communities and states for re lief work. Those In the afflicted dis tricts participated personally In the 1 rescue and relief work. Commander Wall snld. In addition. V. F, W. post homes were opened as relief stations and food and lodging were furnished to thousands of flood victims through the V. F. W. units. The V. F. W., recognizing the time and money that would be saved, in tho event of another emergency, by the maintenance of a permanent disaster relief committee, plans to organize the relief group so that all the resources of the V. F. W. con Immediately be mobilized for relief purposes In time of need. Rescue work, commissary depart- ' ments, housing, medical care and first i aid. transportation and other dlvl- ! utont of activity In such emergency will be divided among committee; j in each V. F. W. community. i Each committee will bo responsible J to its local disaster relief chairman. who. In turn, will report to a count v ! or state chairman. The latter will work directly under the supervision j of the national chairman of that ' particular department.
