During two World Wars and myriad of disasters and instances of human want in between, the Red Cross has functioned efficiently, superbly, transforming public contributions into real help and comfort. Almost everyone knows that, or should know that. We have heard some people who were critical of this individual instance or that of Red Cross activities, but they were looking at infinitesimal specks in a magnificent panorama of humanitarian service. On every war front in every clime, the American Red Cross is at work. It is doing things which this government would trust to-no other agency. It is a medium of comfort and relief which even our enemies must recognize—as witness the aid to prisoners of war. And in addition to all that the Red Cross has done to ease the hardships and discomforts of fight- ing men and noncombatants amid the horrors of war, it also has been the means of saving an incalculable number of lives. The blood plasma service alone, if the Red Cross did nothing else, would justify the very fullest support of the organization by the Am- erican people. When your turn comes to give, give in the knowledge that every dollar, every cent that you contribute will be translated into service where it is most desperately needed. The drive lasts through this month and Juneau's quota has not been attained. at a (Copyright, 1945) It is a'sobering thought to reflect that when the Washingfon : ' Merry- Go-Round (Continued -[:;m Page One) lowing which fighting would breakl 'ACTION AGAINST One indication of how Nazi lead- | German Generai Staid o, m Past: poetic 40.
