SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 1900 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THREE "NO! NO! MISS JONES, YOU DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE HANG OF IT." Red Cross Nurses Trained To Aid In American Plan "In the battle against human suffering, the Red Cross nurse is tlie first to serve, the last to rest." That sentiment was in the hearts of many Americans in the 1059 observance of Red Cross Nursing Services' Jubilee. Last year, chapters maintained a reserve of 58.000 professional nurses for Red Cross duty call. On Red Cross disaster relief op erations, 97 per cent of the nurse assignments were volunteer. Red Cross volunteer nurses gave 4,000 full days, or the equivalent of more than 10 calendar years, car ing for disaster victims. In the local chapter volunteer nurses serve with each visit of the bloodmobile, train for disaster duty, and teach classes in Mother and Baby Care to young expectant parents. Although the volunteer nurse role has changed from World War I days when she was called "The Rose of No Man's Land," her unselfish sharing of her pro fessional skills contributes greatly to the community's education and health. "I'M SORRY. SAILOR. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A DATE IS IN THE LINE OF SERVICE TO THE ARMED FORCES." Service To Armed Forces Plays Big Role In RC More than half the time of both staff and volunteers of Red Cross and approximately one-third of its budget about 35 million dol lars are expended each year in services to the armed forces and veterans. Many are the day-to-day serv ices provided by the fieM direc tors assigned to military units, by the hospital workers who visit the wards, and by the Home Serv ice workers in the home - town chapters of members of the armed forces. These Red Cross represen tatives daily assist with personal and family problems, and they provide the military with factual information about home situations that will assist them in making important decisions. In addition to providing this service from its headquarters in the county library building, the Klamath Basin Chap ter has an office at Kingsley Field, manned two days a week with trained volunteers and staff mem bers. Twice , during the last "year, through the direct intercession o( the American Red Cross with Hie East German Red Cross, United States servicemen who had been held by the East German authori ties were released to the custody of the American Red Cross.

First Aid Service Given In Times Of Emergency Most of Germany is flat lands. a few mountains. The year ISM marks the 50th anniversary of Red Cross First Aid service which continues as one of the best known and valuable services down to the present day. Awarded lasl year were 939.000 certificates to individuals who availed themselves of free in struction in first aid through class es conducted by the Red Cross. Through a corps of volunteer in structors, the local chapter offers free training in standard, ad vanced and junior first aid. Al most every one of us can recall a time when a knowledge of first aid came in handy: many of us can recall a time when someone's life was saved by artificial respiration learned in a Red Cross course. The year 1HIKI is a fitting time to. THE COVER This week's cover was sketched by Bill Finch from Hie 1960 Red Cross poster.
