Probably no organization in the :
country is more reviled and at the I
same time more widely blessed 1
than the American Red Cross. By .
some quirk in human nature the ;
friend who lends money, or who is
aware of family difficulty and of
fers assistance, even when that as
sistance is accepted, loses the
friendship of the recipient quite
frequently.
During the war years and since,
many thousands of men and wo
men borrowed money from Red
Cross for emergencies. Much of
that money was repaid, but many,
many loans are never repaid, be
cause of circumstances making it
difficult to find the money, and in
many cases, simply because Red
Cross makes no legal effort to re
gain such losses, and some people
do not consider a moral obligation
binding upon them.
It is this latter group which in
most cases become the most bitter
in their criticism of Red Cross
when the time arrives for the an
nual campaign fund drive.
On the other hand, there are
some grounds for legitimate criti
cism of Red Cross. We must not
lose sight of the fact that these
funds are administered by human
beings, none of whom are infal
lible. In so large an organization
there are bound to be a few who
are not faithful to the trust placed
in them as individuals, despite the
careful screening of personnel.
When one considers, however, that
there are 3,73!) chapters and 4.834
branches in the United States, that
volunteer workers gave 13.000,000
hours of free service to the coun
try; that there were 303 disasters ;
in the U.S. last year, on which Red
Cross expended S12.171.022, you can
begin to see the extent of the or
ganization, and appreciate the vast
amount of effort and time and
service rendered bv individuals in
the work.
If the Federal Government should
he required to undertake the prob
lem of disaster aid and rehabilita
tion, the money would necessarily
have to be acquired by taxation.
As it is now, Red Cross rehabili
tates the districts devastated by !
wind, fire, flood, earthquake, epi
demic, or similar troubles and the
money comes from volunteer con
tributions of the people.
Vi'ho knows when disaster may
stride in Seward? Disaster is de
scribed by Red Cross as any catas
trophe such as fire, earthquake, |
flood, shipwreck, wind which ef
fects a minimum of five families.
In this more or less isolated area,
anything is possible.
Thinking Americans, thinking '
Alaskans* thinking Sewardites, will i
give to their Red Cross during the
local campaigns, not merely be- :
cause the Red Cross is a great |
legend, but because it is a prac- ,
tical organized means of improving j
the community, insuring the local |
government against tho drain of 1
indigent citizenry impoverished by 1
disaster, and the means of keeping j
the community and nation strong, j
One dollar pays for your personal
membership in the local Red Cross
chapter, giving you a vote in the
election of its officers, and auto- j
matically bring you the same privi
leges in the National Red Cross.
Plan to enroll your family next
week when you are given the op
portunity.

is just as easy. You merely |

American Express Travelers 1
Cheques. They are readily |
spendable as cash, and if lost |
or stolen, the amount in- §
volved is refunded to you. |
The cost of the protection |
la but 75c on each $100. |
Minimum 40c. There is no |
time limit on use. Thous- 1
ands of people carry these 1
protective Cheques when 1
away from home, and find 1
them invaluable. This is |
one of the bank’s services |
to the traveling public.
