Those wishing Power of Red Cross Is ' Cited at Local Meeting "There are many men who are alive today only through the benefit of the Red Cross," Brig. Gen. Curtis T. Beecher, USMC Ret, told members of the Jackson county chapter of Red Cross at the chapter's 38th annual meeting in the Rogue Valley Country club July 14. General Beecher, who spent much of World War II as a pris oner of war after his capture on Corrigedor by the Japanese, credited Red Cross care for the salvation of countless American prisoners' lives. Red Cross food packages, . so few arriving that two men lived on a package for two weeks, were almost the only i sustenance, he said. The mighty power which the Red Cross derives from its vol unteers who number 1,825,000, ten times as many as paid work ers was also discussed by Gen eral Beecher. If Red Cross vol unteers were paid at the mini mum wage rate, he said, their total salary would amount to over four billion dollars annu ally. Even with such a force of vol unteer workers, General Beech er declared, the Red Cross needs more. Its chief problem, he de clared, is a constant gap be tween community resources and community needs.
