Well, we will tell-you why. Our acts with the people are per- al and confidential, We cannot | ur right hand know what our hand is doing, so to speak. It only with the consent of the arents concerned that we can give any information on the work ve done It took about $164 to put one ser. viceman and his family back on feet, this month and $213 for rgency hospitalization for the small child of another serviceman. The child, about a year old had had a coin lodged in his thoat for over three weeks before a frantic mother called at the chapter and told her story. The serviceman, sta- tioned here, was going to school in | Tenn, The child appeared to have | the croup and was experiencing | great difficulty in breathing. Upon X-Rays at the Naval Hos- pital, it was revealed the child had | a foreign body lodged in the throat. | Plans were made through the Na-| val Hospital to have the child rush- ed to the Jackson Memorial Hos- | pital, Miami for surgery. The ser- vices of one of the E.E.N.T. specia- | lists in Miami was obtained and he was at the hospital upon the ar-} rival of the child. Several hours of work was required before the coin ( a penny) was safely on it’s way. Mother and child returned to} Key West in three days, happy and | smiling and thankful for the Red Cross in her community. Not all cases are in need of fi- | nancial assistance and some are small compared with the above, but all are equally as important to the anxious one seeking aid. Your Red Cross stands ready and willing to extends its aid to | families of the members of ail branches of military and naval service. ; CPO Dance Is a : Slated Tonight A pre-holiday party will be cele- brated tonight from 8 p. m. to 1 p. m. at the CPO club on the Nav:! al Station.

He is “The Stranger” who influences all the sordid lives, of boarding- house dwellers and brings little halos to them. “Professor” Gies- bert studied philosophv at the U. of Chicago for over three years. He lived in Europe before the war. in Germany, Yugoslavia and Austria.
