Grayson, chairman | | of the Red Cross, in commenting on | the report, pointed out that work | being done with families is being car- | ried out with the ultimate eim of placing them on a more independent basis. Better Preparation. “Our workers attempt to assist in such a manner that the individuals| or the family will be better prepared | to live their lives and meet difficulties | from resources from within them-| selves rather than through dependence on others, Admiral Grayson said. | ‘The report covers many activities engaged in by the Red Cross during the year. Many of the developments | in chapter work have been due to na- | tional, State and local changes in the emergency or unemployment relief ' work. | In hundreds of Red Cross chapters, the report points out, much progress has been noted during the past year in development of projects designed for community betterment. Volunteers, according to the report, during the past year produced 1,672, 404 garments for distribution; 4,123,- | 899 surgical dressings; 14,491 Christ- | mas bags for distribution; completed | 820,406 pages of Braille for those who | have lost their sight, and canned 27, 294 pints of vegetables or fruit for the needy. This work was done by 135,026 volunteers donating 2,523.327 hours of their time to chapter work.
