Hoforo considering tho last point of this triangle tho family Itself wo wish to mako clear tho prcsont position ot tho Hed Cross. Tho Klamath County chapter undor Its present charter Is absolutely not authorized to give aid to any but sorvlco mon, ex-sorvlco men and tholr families, except In cases of public disaster, such as flcods, fires und wldo-sprnad epidemics. Tho Hed Cross has, tn fact, laid Itself open to severe criticism because they havo used funds which were subscribed for tho use ot our service men to assist civilian families. In spite of that fact, thero has never been an Instance In thn kitowlodgo of the wrltor whon tho local chapter has refused holp to nny civilian whon upon Investigation such porson was found to ho In need. It has boon our policy, howovor, whenever possible, to get some other ngency or Individual to givo tho material rollot needod. In tho causo of hu manity It ha been Impossible for tho local chapter to adhere strictly to tho provision ot Its charter, and rofuso to holp whenover othor help was not available. Months ago tho mattor was taken up with division headquarters, and thoy ngreod under the circumstances to overlook any breaches ot our charter until this Itoll Call, whon wo might put the matter up to our membership. If they showed by tholr support that they desired us to go Into tho busl ness ot caring for all tho neody of our county, headquarters wlll.thon grant us. formal permission to ox- , utilized, and the business commun- unmix, wnu fieiiciuwj n,u uu w,u i(j. jMt tne patronage or ino rami outskirts of town.

This family, and tho writer con Tho promoters of the building plan name several others that are In as great need, must havo help, consist ent, constructive and continued help until thoy havo become solt-support-Ing. Tho easiest, cheapest and prac tical way Is to unlto our effort un der ono head, everyone contributing to a common agency and working under Its direction. Thero will bo plenty ot personal work for those who havo tho tlmo and enjoy per sonal contact with tho families they assist, but It will bo dono undor tho direction of a trained worker, obvi ating duplication ot effort. If the peoplo of Klamath county fall to come through with the funds need od within tho next fow days, the local lied Cross must rofuso from that tlmo on to give to any civilian family, and no Just criticism can bo mado ot its action.
