RED CROSS MANAGER URGES
GREATER EFFORT IN HIGH­ Health— His Heritage!
WAY FIRST AID WORK;
HALF-MILLION ENROLL
SAN FRANCISCO, November 25—
As the American Red Cross Roll Call
was brought to a close today
(Thursday, November 25) A. L.
Schafer, Red Cross manager In the
Pacific Area, said early returns In­
dicated an enrollment approximat­
ing a half-million members In the
Pacific States toward the national
objective of five million members.
Asks Increased Support
Voicing a note of Thanksgiving to
the public for Its increased support
of Red Cress activities, Mr. Schaf­
er emphasized the urgent need to­
day for more help In the campaign
to save lives by reducing the number
of accidents on highways and in
homes.
At the same time he called upon
every Red Cross unit, every Red
Cross supporter, to concentrate their
efforts during the next two months
on the establishment of more High­
way Emergency First Aid stations.
Mr. Schafer said:
"National statistics show a 9 per
cent increase in automobile fatalities
during the first nine months of the
year; 28.140 as against 25,710 a year
ago. Prevention of this tremendous
loss calls for greater effort on the
part cf every individual who can
lend assistance.
Stations Enumerated
"The Red Cross has established
338 fixed stations and 113 mobile
units in the Pacific Area, all oper­
ated by volunteers. Nationally there
are 1,990 fixed stations and 1,175
mobile units. Some of these volun­
teer first alders have saved lives
of auto crash victims, others have
greatly alleviated suffering of In­
jured persons. A good start has been
made, but mere stations and more
workers are required.
“Stations now extend along the
main highways from the Mexican to
the Canadian borders and from the
coast to the Rockies within the Pac­
ific Area. San Diego, California,
Chapter whose jursdiction extends
the farthest south has established
10 emergency first aid stations. The
Bellingham^ Whshin^tor*. Ollaptier
the farthest north, has 9. These are
top marks for oter Red Cross units
to achieve.
"Elsewhere In Washington, the
Spokane Chapter has 6 emergency
stations; Yakima Valley has 5 and
Grant County Chapter, Ephrata, 4.
“Among the Oregon Chapters,
Baker has 5; Astoria 5; Clatsop
County, 5; Umatilla County, 4;
Josephine County. 4; Douglas Coun­
ty, 4; Lincoln County, 4.
"Leaders among the California
Chapters are Los Angeles with 8;
Tehama County, 5; Shasta County
4; San Jose, 3.
“In Arizona. Yuma and Marlccpa
County Chapters each have 4 high­
way emergency first aid stations.
Shoshone County and Bannock
County Chapters In Idaho each have
4. In Utah. East Millard County and
Utah County Chapters also have 4
each."
Oregon Third in Stations
Mr. Schafer announced that spec­
ial and general field representatives
throughout the Pacific Area during
the next two months will give special
help to some 175 Red Cross units
which have not yet reported the
establishment and maintenance of
highway emergency first aid sta­
tions. The latest compilation cover­
ing fixed highway emergency first
aid stations shows Arizona. 11; Cal­
ifornia has 54; Utah. 6 and Wash­
ington 53.
