connected with the Seward office
since Maay, 1923, will bid adieu to
his many acquaintances tor he leaves

cipally on account of his many
friends, then again, the experiences
he has undergone in this country
have been such that he will never
forget them. He has been associated
with the road department for the
last six years, in Montana and Alas
ka, coming to Sewrard direct from
the Portland office.
Mrs. Bishop left Saward last Au

AMERICAN RED CROSS
HANDS IN REPORT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (^—Am
erican disasters this year while fewer
than the record number of last year
exacted a greater life and property
toll, the American Red Cross an
nounced today in its annual report
for the year ending June 30.
The tornado that cut a swath thru
the middle west last spring alone
caused 796 deaths and maimed 2,239
the report said, while the disaster
casualties of the entire year preced
ing numbered only 735 dead and not
quite 2,000 injured.
In preparation for whatever emer
gencies may be in store‘for the na
tion during the next year, it was an
nounced, the ninth annual roll call
of the Red Cross will- be held Novem
ber 11-26.
The report showed that the Red
Cross rendered service in 90 disas
ters during the year -including fires,
which accounted for 29 of. the cala
mities, floods, which were second
with 16; tornadoes which caused 11;
7 typhoons; 5 hurricanes and storms;
and one railroad accident. There
were three each of earthquakes, fa
•mines and mine disasters; one ty
phoid epidemic, 2 volcanic eruptions,
2 “entombments,” and a series of
mine explosions, forest fires,and sim
ilar visitations.
The mid-western tornado presented
the largest problem of restoration
and rehabilitation in “peace-time his
tory,” the report said. This opera
tion is notw virtually completed. In
the course of its work in this region,
the Red Cross assisted approximate
ly 33,435 people.
Within 12 hours of its occurrence
the Red Cross had its relief organiza
tion completed in the Santa Barbara
earthquake region, and had launched
measures of permanent rehabilita
tion for the sufferers from four dis
asters, the largest number of people
ever in its care in this country.
Included in the two “entombments”
•was the tragedy of Floyd Collins at
Cave City, Ky. Here Red Cross chap
ters set up canteens and other as
sistance on the spot, while the or
ganization bore the cost of materials
utilized in the relief work.
“Supplementing these services are
those incident to a number of recent
disasters in the United States,” con
tinued the report. “Outstanding
among these was the wreck of the
Shenandoah. Chapters at Cambridge
and Caldwell, Ohio, and field repre
sentatives in the vicinities of both
the dreck and the ships home port
at Lakehurst, went to work, assist
ing and comforting those bereaved in
the tragedy, and helping at the scene
of the loss/'
“Other oatastrophies in which the
Red Cross served include the fire at
Shreveport, La., which wiped out 9
blocks; the Tennessee forest fire;
the flood along the Rio Grande Riv
er, which affected three towns south
of El Paso, and a hailstorm which
struck two North Carolina counties
and impoverished 100 families.
Turning to disasters abroad, the
report said:
“Heading the list was the Chinese
flood, which cost 13,115 lives, and
necessitated aid from the Red Cross
to 100,000 people. A series of floods
and fires in Porto Rico resulted in
14 deaths, and Red Cross assistance
to 2,233; an earthquake at Erzeroum,
Turkey, killed 114; a typhoon in the
Philippines which killed 75 people
also necessitated our care of 5,000
others; another at Agana, capital of
Guam killed only one, but left 186
others in need.
“In the Virgin Islands, the Red
Cross rendered assistance following
a hurricane which killed 80 people,
injured 100, destroyed 1,000 buildings,
and in which 1,500 people were as
sisted by the organization. A flood
in Peru, a fire at Cananea, Mexico,
and the destruction by fire or virtu
ally the whole city of Manazeies,
Colombia, completed the foreign op
erations.
