WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN THE RED CROSS
A big drive is soon to be made for nn increased membership ]
of Cordova Chapter, American Red Cross, and it is up to our
residents to do something to aid this good cause. Remember
that every dollar received is a dollar toward alleviating the suf
fering of the men who fight and bleed for the democracy of our
country.
Cordova has a larger registration for conscriptive draft, in
proportion to its population, than any other town in Alaska.
There are still hundreds of others who are above the prescribed
age for sendee at this time, but even if they cannot join the
fighting ranks they can at least make the paltry sacrifice of a
subscription to one of the greatest and noblest organizations in
existence. • ' -
The national headquarters of the Red Cross war council at
Washington gives the following as reasons why the American
Red Cross needs a $100,000,000 war fund at once.
American troops, under General Pershing, will soon be on
the firing line in France. They deserve America’s best.
The government will see that nothing is lacking in equip
ment and materinl to make them efficient fighing men.
The American Red Cross must see that nothing is lacking
to keep them healthy, happy and efficient soldiers.
For this the Red Cross must have:
1. Hospital and medical equipment to supply that of the
army medical department equal to any emergency.
Equipment to care for 1,000,000 men ought to be provided
at once.
2. Recreation and rest facilities behind the firing line.
Americans on leave, unlike the British arid French, cannot
return to their homes. Club rooms, sports supplies, books and
other means of recration must be sent them from America.
3. Personal comfort kits and small articles not included in
army regulations.
Many thousands of articles, from toothbrushes to writing
paper, pipes, etc., are needed to take the place of things that
could not be brought along.
A Red Cross commission, beaded by Major Grayson M. P.
Murphy, member of the Red Cross war council, is now on the
way to Europe. Composed of trained business men and ex
perts, it will study ways in which the Red Cross can best aid
French and Belgians, individuals and towns, in reestablishing
themselves.
The work of the Red Cross commission will be:
1. Civilian Relief—Hundreds of thousands of refugees in
northern France are almost entirely dependent on outside aid.
There is little food in France; America must supply this need.
Clothes, too, must be sent and the simplest articles of personal
necessity.
2. Tuberculosis—One of the outgrowths of french war has
been the alarming spread of tuberculosis all through France.
This must be checked and stamped out, not only for France’s
sake, but for the safety of our own troops when they arrive
abroad.
3. Medical Needs—How deficient France is in hospital
and other equipment which America must supply is shown in
the following list of immediate needs:
50 new motor ambulance sections of 23 Ford cars, plus two
White trucks each, and the men to drive them.
200.000 blankets, 2 meters long, fifty by two.
10.000 kilos quinine (hydrochlorate of sulphate).
30.000 kilos cod liver oil.
1.000 kilos caicacol.
2.000 kilos cade oil.
2.000 kilos B. balsam napthol.
3.000 kilos salicylic acid.
5.000 kilos urethane (ethyl carbonate).
1.000 kilos methylene blue.
2.000 tents with double sides, weighing about 200 kilos each
for the sheltering of 20 to-30 wounded in clearing hospitals.
1.000 tents of a larger model, also with double sides, cap
able of holding 120 beds.
400.000 pairs of woolen socks.
200.000 pairs of flannel waistcoats.
10.000 sanitary slop pails.
5.000 pairs of surgical India rubber gloves.
-:o:
There is still time to register for draft, if you have not al
ready done so.
-:o:-—
To protect ourselves from exorbitant prices and permit the
steel trust to gauge our allies is hardly playing the game fair.
