CROSS
"THEY
SERVE
IN OUR
NAME
Service To Servicemen
Since March is American National Red Cross
month servicemen stationed throughout the world will
be asked to contribute to the annual fund-raising cam-
paign.
Before you make your contribution think for a
moment of the many services which the Red Cross
performs daily for servicemen and their families.
The Red Cross mission with the armed forces is to
support and supplement without out-of-service dupli
cation those activities affecting the health welfare
recreation and morale of service personnel and their
families.
These services are extended through field directors
with land-based forces throughout the world and by
home service in local Red Cross chapters.
The Red Cross home service offers help to service
men's families with personal and family problems and
provides emergency financial assistance guidance in
obtaining government benefits and a means of com
munication with the serviceman when direct methods
are not practical.
On major U.S. military installations around the
world American Red Cross field directors help service
men and their dependents in the area and complete the
chain of communication between men of the armed
forces and their families at home.
A variety of other Red Cross services such as
disaster relief blood donation first aid water safety
and home nursing are always available to military
personnel as well as civilians.
According to the American Red Cross 1963-64
annual report services to the armed forces and to vet
erans made up the greatest single outlay of Red Cross
funds. Through some 1200 field directors stationed at
400 military installations around the world the Red
Cross aided approximately 80000 servicemen and their
families monthly last year. An additional 90000 service
men veterans and their families were aided monthly by
local Red Cross chapters.
When you're asked to contribute to the Red Cross
this month just remember all of the valuable services
which this organization undertakes to help you your
family and your fellow servicemen. (AFPS)

A National Problem
Among the increasingly complex problems facing
our increasingly complex society today is the care and
treatment of crippled children.
Crippling is first of all a personal and family
problem. But because of its vastness in size and its
impact on the economy of our culture and social insti
tutions it becomes a community problem and a national
problem.
The dictionary defines "cripple" as a person who
is lame or otherwise disabled as a result of injury di-
ease or a condition existing from birth.
There are many degrees of crippling a course but
to establish a statistical base we consulted the Nation
al Society for Crippled Children and Adults. The Society
said that there are at least 8
j/2
million "severely" crip
pled persons in the country today. This means that
about one in every 24 Americans has a handicap which
seriously affects his and his family's life.
The number continues to grow in proportion to the
population increase and is augmented because of ad
vances in medical science. Babies who suffered once fa
tal crippling diseases are now being saved more peo
ple survive strokes and others live to the ages at which
they acquire handicapping conditions.
How do we care for these people? The Easter Seal
Society took the leadership in the nationwide campaign
to establish appropriate services 44 years ago. Last
year with 1426 state and local affiliates the Society
served almost a quarter million crippled children and
adults. Their handicaps included cerebral palsy polio
arthritis muscular dystrophy loss of limb other or
thopedic conditions stroke and speech disorders.
Until we know all the answers until medical
science conquers crippling we must depend on such
organizations as the Easter Seal Society to at least
alleviate this community and national problem.
So please give generously to Easter Seals this
month.
oOo
Tax Time Again
Whether we like it or not it is again time to file
income tax returns. For those who expect to receive re
funds this may be a painless process but for those who
know they must cough up their fair share it can
be a nerve racking experience.
A federal tax return must be filed by every citi
zen or resident of the United States who had over $600
income in 1964.
The tax return should of course be filed as soon
as possible but in any case it must be filed no later
than April 15.
Although forms have been mailed to the taxpayer
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) wherever prac
tical it is still the taxpayer's responsibility to obtain
the proper forms and file them. Forms may be obtained
from the Staff Judge Advocate's office by personnel
not getting one in the mail.
Individuals have two forms from which to choose
—Form 1040 the long form and 1040A the punch
card. No matter which form you choose the completed
return should show name social security number per
manent home address and service number and should
be mailed to the "District Director of Internal Reve
nue" for the state or district in which the taxpayer
lives or shows as his home in personnel records.
There are several changes in tax laws this year.
Although instructions provided with the forms are quite
specific anyone in doubt should seek advice from his
unit tax officer legal officer personnel officer or a
representative of the local civilian IRS office.
Capt. William T. Jones (McComb Miss.) legal as
sistance officer for III Corps and Fort Hood pointed
out that "a soldier does not have to pay state income
tax in the state in which he is stationed but he must
file a tax return in his home of record if that state has
one. Being in the military service does not exempt him
from this."
tax return
A Federal tax return must be
filed by every citizen or resi
dent of the United States earn
ing $600 or more in 1964 if
aged 65 or over $1200 or more.

NEW FIELD HOSPITAL—An artist's illustration presents two views of
the new Medical Unit Self-Contained Transportable (MUST) field hospital
complex. In the top photo one component the shipping container is being
utilized as a facility for surgery. The ward type inflatable shelter in the lower
photo has all basic equipment to accommodate 20 patients. A third compon-
nent a self-contained utility system provides power air conditioning heat
hot and cold running water and water waste service.
St Patrick's Day In U.S. More Fun For Irishman
Ireland) a chart operator in the
fire direction center for Bat
tery of the 1st Bn. 14th Artil
lery.
Said Moore "Its a religious
day in Ireland. I never consid
ered it a holiday until coming to
the United States."
PFC Moore came to this coun
try at the age of 20. He worked
as an electrical estimator for a
construction engineer firm in
New York.
Twelve years before Moore
landed on our shores the Irish
population of New York con
vinced the city council to paint
a green line down the center of
5th Avenue to commemorate St.
Patrick's Day. The traditional
"painting of the line" was dis
continued in 1964 but the noisy
's
March 17th parade promises to
be as noisy as ever.
Moore stated "I was amazed
at the masses who would attend
the parade when in Belfast it
was a normal working day. Ev
en the "pubs" remained open."
Moore's parents who still live
in the "old country" are sending
their son a cake with green
frosting and a shamrock on top
to help him celebrate the day."
Moore is planning a quiet but
appropriate celebration. "I
won't see the parade this year
he said "but I shall surely be
wearing the green."
