Ordinarily the others would have
commanded the attention of the Na-
tion, but they were dwarfed by the
havoc done by the Father of Waters.
In the meantime twenty foreign
lands found themselves in distress
through no fault of theirs. They
appealed to the Red Cross and help
was forthcoming.
Disaster relief has overshadowed
the every day activities of the Red
Cross owing to the publicity it has
produced.
Notwithstanding the
burden of providing relief on an
unprecedented scale, the Red
Cross, through its 3500 Chapters
throughout the country, has vigor-
ously pushed its regular program.
The eleventh annual membership
roll call will be held as usual from
Armistice day to Thanksgiving.
Five million members is the goal
and the Red Cross confidently ex-
pects that many.
