January Disasters Bring
Quick Red Cross Action
Destructive floods and tornadoes
beginning in early January were
grim reminders that more Ameri-
cans died in home-front accidents
and disasters during World Wnr II
than as war casualties.
By mid-month the siege, brought
on unseasonably early by warm
weather and heavy rains, had
claimed f>4 dead and upwards of
150 hospitalized, records indicate.
Thousands of families in rural
areas of 11 midwestem and south-
« rn states have been affected.
Red Cross chapter workers who
last year helped their communities
through 2C.0 disasters have again
worked 'round the clock. Assisting
them have been doctors, nurses, and
others rushed by the Red Cross to
stricken areas. Surveys for the re-
furnishing, rebuilding, and repair-
ing of damaged or destroyed
homes, barns, and other buildings
began immediately. Rehabilitation
will he completed in March. Un-
doubtedly new disasters will strike
during the spring months and will
keep fit' organization working at
top speed in this humanitarian pa-
rade which never ends.
In providing food, clothing,
shelter, medical and nursing care,
varying problems confront the Red
Cross, particularly in rural sections.
In flooded Mississippi valley
areas. Red Cross has obtained a
priority release of house trailers
to supplement tents used in
.sheltering farmers rescued from
flooded areas. When evacuation of
farm families and livestock has
been necessary, coast guard and
navy boats have assisted. Recent
coal shortages in disaster areas
were relieved when Red Cross ac-
tion resulted in diversion of fuel
to critical sections.
An hour after surveys have been
completed, the Red Cross has ob-
tained priority release of lumber
and other building materials. In-
cluded has been screen wire to help
prevent the spread of disease in
polio and malaria-affected sections.
In floods and hurricanes, local
side of Mr. Cook's mother who is
reported to be very -irk.
W. I,. Morris left for Ft. Worth
Saturday, where he will meet Mrs.
Motti and daughter. Mi Vivian.
The physicians will perform an
operation on Vivian. Site litis an

Red Cross disaster units, through
advance weather bureau advisories,
have warned residents in time for
safe evacuation; in remote sections,
they have effected rescues. In all
disasters, tornadoes, fires, floods,
hurricanes, train wrecks, they have
quickly sought out injured, given
first aid, and arranged hospital
cure. Hundreds of thousands of
homeless have been sheltered,
clothed, and fed.
In Baterson, New Jersey, a new
chapter disaster chairman success-
fully tucklcd problems of the worst
flood in thut city's history. Two
days after a Red Cross disaster
conference in Montgomery, Ala-
bama, a tornado ripped through
the city. Outstanding care given
the injured wrote a bright page in
the year's disaster medical history.
In states where polio outbreaks
occurred, Red Cross chapter volun-
teers hurriedly improvised hospital
articles. In Salt Lake City, Dis-
aster Service supplied face masks,
children's nightgowns, hospital
shirts, surgical gowns for nurses,
blankets, and sheets. When flan
nelette could not be found for hot
packs, Red Cross supplied 1,000
diapers for the purpose.
But whether disaster or any of
many other Red Cross services, all
are available to people in rural
communities no less than in large
cities. Home nursing, farm acci-
dent prevention, assistance to fam-
ilies of men in uniform and to vet-
erans — these services continue
year-in, year-out. During March
the Red Cross is appealing for
$100,000,000. It needs every bit of
that amount to meet obligations to
the armed forces and civilian popu-
lation.
"We all have a share in 'he
American Red Cross," said Basil
O'Connor, Red Cross Chairman,
when announcing the appeal. "Let's
all maintain that share by con-
tributing generously to tho 194(5
Fund Campaign and keep our Red
Cross society the strongest in the
world."
Take Care of Colds
Colds are almost a.- popular a
topic of conversation a the weath
er. And, as with the weather, few
people do anything about them.
Many people, of course, have their
favorite remedy for cold but
even they find that cold keep
coming back.
While people do not die ju.-t
from colds, the common cold otten
lead to eriotis illlte -e w Itich
may call e death. Not only that,
cold.-' are a nui.-ance and von ill
this, so we should keep our bodies
in such healthy condition that they
are able to resist colds. This means
getting sufficient rest, eating well-
bulanced meals, which include
fresh fruits and vegetables, and
seeing the doctor periodically,
even i,f we think we are perfectly
well.
If we do catch a cold we should
not neglect it. A cold may lead
to influenza, to pneumonia, to ear
trouble. It may so weaken the
system that we become a reudy
prey to tuberculosis.
Children arc particularly apt to
develop eur trouble after a cold.
When they have bad colds they
should be kept away from school
until the worst is over. While at
home, they should be kept quiet
and .should not be permitted to
play with other children.
It is not always necessary for an
adult to stay at home with a cold
but it is often the wise thing to do.
If the cold is accompanied by fev-
er, both adults and children
should by all means stay in bed.
Rest and diet are important fac-
tors in curing a cold. Weakened
by the cold, the body needs extra
rest and easily digested foods.
Rich, heavy foods should be avoid-
ed. The diet should include plen-
ty of liquids—water, fruit juices
and clear soups.
Colds are undoubtedly a nui-
sance, but by taking care of our-
selves when we have them, future
trouble can be avoided.
Checking up on health will be
discussed in the next article.
