Churches throughout Jackson
county will Join with religious
groups throughout the nation
this week-end in observance of
Red Cross Sunday. '
The observance precedes the
opening of the Jackson County
Red Cross chapter's fund cam
paign seeking support to carry
on services provided in the com
munity and to men in domestic
and overseas camps and stations
and in military and veterans'
hospitals.
Stating that religious groups
and the Red Cross have a com
mon purpose In relieving the
suffering of humanity, Seth M.
Bullls, chairman of the Jackson
county chapter, declared today:
"The Red Cross, through aid
to the 111 and wounded, to our
service-men stationed in remote
lands, t6 war-weary victims of
aggression in other nations, has
become a symbol of mercy all
over the world. The organlza
tion is linked with all religious
faiths through a common pur
pose: To relieve the suffering of
humanity. It is fitting indeed
that the churches set aside a
week-end to observe Red Cross
Sunday."

rienced an exceptional
growth throughout the
war years, our company
did not profit from the
war. The tabulation . . .
comparing the year 1945
the end of the route to
Tokyo Day with 1939
the year in which ominous
war clouds cast their im
pending gloom - -vividly
portrays, not only what
our company's expansion
has been throughout the
years of its war effort, but
also the impact ol this ex
pansion oo its major oper
ations. "The phenomenal de
velopment of the Pacific
Coast with its tremendous
strides In commerce. In
dustry, military and naval
activities has placed, and
will continue to place, ex
acting demands upon our
company. With the nation
wide interest in this far
flung section with its rap
idly expanding markets
and its outstanding growth
potentialities, our com
pany will experience in
the immediate years ahead, as they are now
visualised, an unprecedented expansion.
"Our Immediate task ahead is to render
sen Ice to all who want it and to restore,
and to take our service to new heights, As
It announced December last, in the imme
diate five-year period our company will be
required to make expenditures for new con
struction aggregating $400,000,000 and, as
a consequence, extraordinary amounts of
new capital will be required. The execution
and speed oi this entire program are de
pendent upon the flow of available man
power, mate Hals, money and the level of
business conditions. The consummation of
the program for 1946, now well under way,
will require. It is estimated, an all-time
high expenditure of upwards ol 90,000y
000 for new construction. This compares
with the $ MOO,000 expended in 1945. In
clusive of materials re-used, the gross plant
a.M.tiom for 1946 ate estimated at well
over $100,000,000, This expenditure will
be more than double the 1945 gross plant
additions of $4. 791,000.
