#iiD CROSS CHAPTERS MEET VARIED NEEDS OF SERVICEMEN fc; The Red Cross Home Service worker looked up from her desk to find an old man holding a telegram td twenty-five, dollars. "My boy wants to come home, bat he hasn't got the money for such *an expensive trip," the old gentleman said»-"**H?'hti8 just returned from 2 £ears overseas service and is aV(c»*e before reassignment.v "is mbther has V^'| been very sick and I think he might EJ|! help her to gc£«eU.

The foIlotPfag day she received an ansvvcrin the field director: Under federal statute and regulations of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, the American Red Cress furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of the armed forces and acts in matter of voluntary relief and as a medium of communication between the people of the United States and their armed forces. "Return twenty-five dollars to father. Army granting emergency leave and arranging for air transportation home. We are arranging for maintenance and return transportation." It was or.Iy one item in a busy worker's day, but to two old people and a long-absent son it meant a lot. Often the need is not for financial aid but for help wit!) the unexpected problems that may hit any family and are more acute when the head of the family is thousands of miles away. It v.as so with an Air Force sergeant who reenlisted after overseas cojnbat service. He left his wife and children in Kentucky on a farm with his mother-ih-law. He also left 25 head of cattle, through which the family income would be supplemented. lie thought his family secure for tTie 3 years of his new enlistment. Then disaster struck. Ths wife's mother became ill and was compelled to sell the farm and go to; live with a distant sister. This left the sergv. ire from ! eart's family without housing, and .25 head of cattle without care. The Red Cross helped the soldier get emergency leave, helped him find suitable living quarters for his wife, and arranged for quick sale cf his livestock. The sergeant then returned to duty, content in the knowledge that, his wife and two small childreifHvere provided fbr. Ofteh, the need for help extends beyond the tinjp a man is separated from the servicc. If. as a veteran, the man and his family continue to need aid, the chapter is ready to help. That is Red Cross Home Service --a friend, and counselor to the perplexed, to those in need, to tihen and women with problems.

Qoroner Garfield R. Leaf said the arm and leg appeared to have been those of a man dead at least three months. The arm was partly covered by what appeared to have been a white shirt sleeve. The sack, which was weather beaten, bore no markings.
