HAVE YOU GIVEN MORE? At the start of the Red Cross War Fund cam- paign it was emphasized that because this is a war year, because the quota allotted to the Juneau Chap- ter area is twice as large as in previous years, con- tributors were expected whenever possible to double! their donation this year. It is evident that many have not done that. The drive has been in progress for some time and yet only a little more than half of the needed amount has been turned in. It should be remembered also that much of the money that has been donhated thus far comes from sources not contributing last year. These in charge of the drive, in looking over membership cards, are of the belief that unless con- tributions come in much heavier, it may be necessary to call the roll again. It is of the utmost importance that we remem- ber ‘the Red Cross especially in wartime. In the crisis of this war the American Red Cross has taken on and performed tasks unprecedented in its history. Last year it recruited 28,000 graduate nurses for the Army and Navy and this year will add 36,000 to that list. It has established a disaster fresetve of 51,000 nurses, has trained 60,000 volunteer aldes has taught 500,000 women the rudiments of home nursing, has educated 300,000 women in the prmciples of nutrition, has graduated 5,500,000 per- sons from its first-aid classes, has enrolled 3,500,000 it necessary tasks, from driving trucks and assist- | tng draft and ration boards to preparing more than nalf a billion surgical dressings. It has given lehe( td 130,000 *sufferers “in 180 disasters in forty-four | States: e jan ordnance plant - was marooned by 'flopd . waters. |cleared: 'a; parking, 'lot, markgd off, ‘with steips, of sheeting, . and |indicated wind 'direction. by |row made with, rice ;str ieround.

For the combatants, at home and abroad, for military and civilian prisoners, for torpedoed sailors, land for the families and dependents of these men, |it has labored on a scale almost too vast to realize. |Tt has been large enough not to shrink from any |neighborly task with our huge and growing forces. |1t has been intimate enough to listen to the troubles |of more than a million service men, and to give each | of these men and their families the personal advice | and assistance they needed. It has shipped a mil- lion food parcels to prisoners in Japanese tertitory and in Germany. It has collected 1,300,000 pints of blood plasma to save the lives of wounded men— {and those lives have been saved. It has brought the |fighting man recreation when he was bored, sym- pathy when he was homesick and companionship as {well as nursing care when he was injured. It hag bound up his wounds, written his letters, got him {news from home, lent him money. It has given help 1to 30,000,000 civilian victims of war in Europe, Asia and Africa. | The American Red Cross is not just an organi- \lnuon with headquarters in Washington. It is not Just a group of professional workers. It is the chan- nel’ through which, more today than ever before, the American people pour out their good-will toward their absent service men and toward all who suffer |anywhere the evils of this mighty conflict. It has | the power, and is using it, to make the very name |American a grateful sound in the ears of millions | upon millions of unhappy human Beings. It says to | the fighting man that he remains the boy down | |the street we have always known, no matter how | far he goes or what happens to him. It says to | strangers and aliens that even when we go to battle it is from love of humanity, not hatred. For what the American Red Cross does little is irequired from each of us. The measure will be |heaped and running over if we each of us fully ,understand the uses to which it is put. = Bootlegging in Beef (Philadelphia Record) Two million pounds in 90 days! That's the vol- ume of meat sold through the black market in Philadelphia alone. This estimate comes from George A. Casey, who jought to know, He is president of Felin and Com- pany, and head of the National Independent Packers’ { Association, whose 550. members normally do 40 per- cent of America’s independent slaughtering. | These packers are being squeezed out of business {by an uncontrolled ‘“on-the-hoof” price in Chicago higher than the ceiling at which they are compelled to sell. Consumers and retailers are being squeezed a different way: Systematically robbed by the racke- teers who have “muscled in” on legitimate meat business and who can afford to pay any price on | the Hoof, because they sell at any price and take | their chances. | The situation isn’t new. Honest packers, re- tailers and consumers haye been protesting for months. OPA has all the facts, has had them since | last Christmas. The only thing new is the vast sizc | this black market now has assumed. We cannot understand OPA's wrist-tapping of such racketeers. It has filed sults against a few. It 'has said criminal prosecution would be instituted. The black market in meat has not been broken up and, as Casey indicates, it's getting worse each day. There’s nothing complicated about the obvious !.win solution: 1. Put livestock prices under ceilings. . Arrest the black marketeers and. give them severe pr&wn terms.
