THEIR RIGHTS
Tho local Red Cross chapter Is
badly in need of a homo service
worker to administer tho distribu
tion of government benefits and
privileges among ox-Bcrrlco men and
their families, Miss Elizabeth Tandy,
Oregon representative of tho Ameri
can Red Cross, told officers of the
local chapter In conferenco yester
day, and a meeting of the executive
committeo has been arranged for
tomorrow afternoon, at which the
matter will be gono into In detali.
I At present tho chapter is only at
tending to such calls for assistance
as are mado upon it, but Miss Tandy
says that tho Red Cross should be
in a position to mako investigations
and see that all former service men
and their families get tho govern
ment benefits to which thoy are en
titled. Many provisions have been
mado for their assistance, with
which tho majority are not familiar,
and lt is a task which the Red Cross
is shouldering to find out where the
benefits belong and make equitable
distribution.
Matters of insurance, government
allotments, railway fare rebates, care
of needy families, aid to injured men,
and vocational training aid, all come
within the province of tho Red Cross.
In fact so many steps have been
taken by tho government in an at
tempt to pay the debt it owes its de
fenders and their families that lt is
tho work of ono person In every com
munity to keep matters straightened
out, so that none of those eligible
for benefits will be overlooked.
