SRRREA AS Oy mene ne Hen e ds Swed wawes oemE UQCAL RED CROSS THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1931 ‘BODY CELEBRATES _ TTS 44TH BIRTHDAY Bismarck Chapter of Relief Or- ganization Was Formed May 21, 1927 Although it passed almost unno- ticed, May 21 was an anniversary of some importance in Bismarck, for it marked the date upon which the Bur- Jeigh County Chapter of the Red Cross was organized in 1917. Although the Red Cross had been an active force in the life of the na- tion for more than 30 years prior to that time, its influence had not ex- tended to Bismarck and the organiza- tion was launched here as @ war- time emergency measure. Thirty representative citizens at- tended the first meeting and A. A. Bruce, then a judge of the supreme court, was elected chairman, A char- ter was received from the national organization May 25 and on May 29 @ permanent organization was formed with Bradley Marks as president, Leonard Bell as treasurer, and Mrs. F. i. Conklin as secretary. The local unit lost no time in Plunging into the variegated tasks presented by the war. About $325 was spent for materials used in making} farments for Bismarck Hospital Unit No. 1, and women of the city and county donated their labor. It was Burleigh county's first major con- tribution to both war work and the ed Cross. In August of the same year the! chapter was reorganized and a work- room and office established in the dederal building. The Masonic Tem- ple was used during the time federal court was in session, Twenty-three ‘branches were organized throughout the county and in the spring of 1918 the Junior Red Cross came into be- ing, It had 1,125 members, raised $1,673.75 in cash and produced 782 garments. An acre campaign was conducted to induce farmers of the county to give the proceeds of the crop produced by one acre. This net- ted $3,051.49, an average of $13.05 an acre. Conduct Fund Drives War fund drives were conducted by the chapter finance committee, the first netting $30,482.50 and the sec- ond $7,181.78, Three hundred women gave their time to making surgical ressings at the Masonic Temple and 40 completed a course in this work. In all, 28,500 dressings were made. Twenty-three young women com- pleted a course in first-aid and the supply department shipped 8,150 hos- pital and refugee garments, 9.768 knitted garments and the 782 made by the junior organization to Red Cross district headquarters. A department of civilian relief and home service was active and the chapter also aided in the fight against the influenza epidemic, mak- ing 2,000 flu masks which were dis- tributed to the Bismarck hospitals and citizens, Many young women who had attended instruction classes gave valuable service as nurses dur- ing the epidemic. About 500 persons were inoculated with a series of in- fluenza inoculations, the hospitals sending nurses to Red Cross head- quarters to do the work, The civilian relief department looked after needy and dependent families, assisted in matters con- nected with sick, wounded, killed and missing soldiers and otherwise acted as a link between the civilian popu- lation and the men in camps or at the front. With the end of the war, the na- ture of the chapter's activities changed. The civilian relief work continued but much of the work had to do with the reestablishment of service men and items connected with their service in the army as well as with the war-time work of the chap- ter, Organization Maintained When this work was done, many Red Cross chapters in North Dakota ceased to exist but the Burleigh county organization was maintained and is said to be the only one in the ‘state which has been continuously ac- tive since its organization. ‘The advantages of the cooperation displayed during the war were so ob- vious that it was desired to continue them and, in order not to avoid du- plication of effort, the Red Cross ‘ecame the official relief organiza- tion of the city and county as well} aS @ means of expression for indivi-| ual citizens contributing to charity. | The Burleigh county organization | 4s regarded as unique in the state and frequently has been pointed to at national meetings and schools of so- cial service as a fine example of suc- cessful community cooperation, ~ Work done for the county, under the principle of a unified head for all relief activities at the lowest pos- sible overhead cost, includes such items as the distribution of food, ciothing, shelter, hospital careg medi- cal and dental help, mothers pensions and juvenile court work. Functions performed for the city are much the same and in addition the organization cooperates in recreational activities such as Girl Scout work. Juvenile court work, according to Miss Mary Cashel, executive secretary of the or- ganization is remarkably light here when compared with some other places. In dealing with calls for help the zim is to assist families to rehabil- itate themselves and the future wel- dare of the family is given prime im- portance. In cases of need emergency assistance is given. In each case, however, the aim is to prevent a re- currence of the emergency if possible. Had Many Other Tasks Because it assumes the burdens and duties which no other organization can or would care to take, the Red Cross has many tasks other than those of assistance and rehabilitation. It operates first-aid and life-saving classes, health service, rural nursing service, pre-school clinics, tuberculosis surveys, work with crippled chlidren, mental hygiene clinics and the many ramifications which each one of these endeavors develops, use of the nature of the work and the fact that it often touches in- timately the lives of persons who could easily be identified in a small community if circumstances were} ‘mentioned, the work of the chapter 4s carried on without publicity. Since the Red Cross office is a clearing house for human problems, however, many businessmen find it valuable to | ting enough and the feeling of con-! tributors to welfare funds that the same persons are getting too much. Both viewpoints must be considered by social workers, she said, and should be considered by the public also in estimating the worth of social service, Miss Cashel is the fourth person to hold the post of Red Cross executive here. Her predecessors were Ruth Kolling, Elsie Lawrence and Hen- rietta Lund. Miss Lund left the service of the Burleigh county chap- ter to become director of the chil- dren's bureau for the state board of administration. OSCAR JORNSON NEW PRESIDENT OF LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI Elected at Annual Banquet Thursday Evening; Charlotte Logan Vice President Oscar Johnson was elected presi- dent of the Bismarck high school alumni association and Miss Char- lotte Logan vice president at she an- nual meeting of the associaton fol- lowing a banquet Thursday evening. Other officers named were Miron Ri- erson, secretary and Dr. Kenneth W. Morris, treasurer. Mrs. J. B. Belk is the retiring president. Arranged by members of the class of 1926, the banquet was served in the World War Memorial buiiding by committee of alumni headed ty Mrs. G. Olgierson. She was assisted by girls of the junior class, Recognizing the need for more in- struction along debating lines at the school, the association voted to con- tribute a sum of $25 to extend tne ac- tivities of the debating team this next season. Idel Stegner was introduced as the author of the prize-winning essay, which she read during the pro- gram. She was awarded a $5 prize given annually for the best essay on @ historical topic. Educational opportunities offered students here in 1931 were compared with those offered by the schcol at the time the alumni association was formed many years ago, in a talk given by J. L. Bell of the First Na- tonal bank. Mr. Bell traced the growth of the alumni group, pointing to projects which it has undertaken for the benefit of the school. Oscar Johnson as toastmasier, ex- tended greetings to the class of 1931 and the response was given by Harold Barth, president of the senior group. Vocal numbers were given by L. H. Belk and by Thurley Snell and sing- ing of the high school pep song was led by Bud Munger. Silver and Harvard Blue, the colors of the class of '26, were combined with the senior colors, silver and rose, in the decorations. About 100 alumni were seated at the tables. Dancing in the lower gymnasium was enjoyed after the program, with card tables placed along the balcony for those who did not wish to dance. ‘The affair was arranged by a com- mittee headed by Mrs. Belk and Oscar Johnson, with Mrs. Emery Putnam and Gwendolyn Pilmoor arranging the decorations.

Editor, Tribune: Some time ago information was given out relative to the condition of the workmen's compensation fund as shown by the records completed to January 1, 1930, Upon the assump- tion that the fund's statutory surplus, Plus its catastrophe reserve, was suf- ficient to guarantee solvency, the statement was made that there ap- peared to be about $278,000.00 as “ex- cess surplus,” which, it was hoped, might be started on its mission of re- lieving some of the depression this year. The four months’ task of tabulating and analyzing the 1930 figures has now been completed, and the 1930! @- record discloses some marked changes. It discloses that the year took about $78,000.00 of the specified “excess sur- plus,” without any dividend declara- tion or reduction of rates, but solely through the increased cost of acci- dents and some reductions in payrolls. It would have been well if this par- ing down of the surplus could have come in several of the 12 classifica- tions in which most of it appears. About $10,000 did come out of vhe ex- ceedingly favorable classification of Manual 8304, grain elevators, but more than $18,000 appears in the form of increased deficit in the under- ground coal mining classification, Manual 1001. To those who may still be thinking in terms of possible rate decreases for that unfortunate classi- fication, the following may be some- what illuminating: The total premium income earned from 1919 to January 1, 1931, is $462,- 101.66. The earned interest properly allocable to this classification during | that period of time amounts to $50,- 653.54. which make the total income for the classification $512,755.20. The awards for this classif:cation, as of the same date, totaled $498,- 569.85, to which must be added the proportionate amount of arminis- tration expense, namely, $50 911.29, making @ total outlay on behalf of that classification in the sum of $549,- 481.14, without setting aside a single cent of reserve. In other words, that classification is still short to the ex- tent of $36,725.94 from meeting its necessary obligations; and, if the Proper reserves of $25,244.88 were added, it would remain $61,970.82 in arrears. There is some indication in the record of the months since Jan- uary 1, 1931, that there has been con- siderable reduction in the number of accidents in coal mining for 1931, but whether such reduction is materially them in solving problems which might otherwise require considerable time. Miss Cashel said one of the hard- Tlaiie Cegscnk testing bs bectoce vee fee! Persons re- getving help thgt they are not get- greater than the decrease in the num- ber of men employed ‘and the conse- quent decrease of the payrolls can not be determined until the records are analyzed next year. The-general rec- ord of the whole fund for the first many more, early in the day. She is | Kamplin Buys First Poppy R. J. Kamplin, Bismarck, state commander of the American Legion, has just purchased the first of the 137,000 poppies which are to be sold by the Auxiliary units of the state on Poppy day, May 23. The small saleslady is the younges$ member of the Bismarck unit, and judging from her deter- mined expression she is going to dispose of the others in the basket and Jeanette Fay Morris, daughter of At- torney General James Morris and Mrs. Morris, 221 Avenue A West. Interest in the Auxiliary projects comes naturally to her, for her mother is national committeewoman and a former department president of the organization. four months of 1931 does not present ;much ground for hope, for the prem- ium collections for those four months —January, February, March and April show at $181,764.60, whereas the outlay for compensation and admin- istration expense ran to $221,000.00, leaving nothing to be set aside as re- serve. In fact, it leaves the :ncome $11,000 short even after the interest earnings of $29,000 are added to the Premium income; and it must be re- membered that 1 per cent to 1% per cent is required to take care cf sup- Plemental awards in. these same cases.” In view of the fact that that bureau is allowing considerable reduction in estimated payrolls for the year 1931, upon the basis of sworn statements of facts, the continuing increase in acci- dent costs leads to one of two conclu- sions; either that some of these sworn statements are not true and payrolls are not being reduced, or that there even greater than that indicated {though our monthly numerical rec- ods, Assuming that the latter is the true explanation, may I again be permitted to stress the thought that effective accident prevention work must be un- dertaken by employers and employes. The members of the bureau well know that employers in at least two-thirds of the classifications are beginning to feel these premium payments as a burden, particularly in a time of de- pression; it is anxious to give relief }and has formulated plans which, if {approved by reliable actuaries, will not only stabilize rates, but bring some measure of relief this year; but it can do little, at best, in the face of this continuing record being made, each year and each month trying to outdo the previous one in setting new ‘high records for the number of acci- dents and for the cost thereof.
