During seven years in the foreign service of the «Daily News Mrs. Smothers has set up housekeeping in seven differâ€" ent domiciles and has learned to funcâ€" tion domestically in four languages. Mandarin Chinese, Italian, French and pidgin English, Mrs. Smothers has shared with her husband a serious study of all these countries. Few women have had so rounded a firstâ€" hand experience of our world in years which brought it to and over the brink of war. _At 10:00 A. M. this same day Mrs. Verne Hunter Moon will review Wilâ€" liam Bolitho‘s "TWELNE AGAINST THE GODS." Mr. Bolitho is of mixed Spanish and Dutch blood. He mixed Spanish and Dutch blood. He fought in the world war with the British forces and was buried with 16 men by the explosion of a German shell. He alone was living when resâ€" cue came. He became foreign corresâ€" pondent and in 1929 wrote this book about the lives of twelve great adâ€" venturers. The greatness of the book lies in his keen analysis of this type of person. It is our loss that he died before he could turn his penetrating mind upon the man, Hitler and his life which seems to be following the same pattern Bolitho shows us is inâ€" dicative of the adventurer.

Mrs. Louis Haller, head of the Department of Governâ€" ment and Foreign Policy, will conduct a weekly meeting for perhaps six meetings thercafter. The course is designed to give a better understanding of a few of the internal problems of Japan which have helped to motivate her aggressive forâ€" eign policy. The primary reference for use in the course will be a book entitled, "The Basis of Japanese Foreign Policy," written by Albert E. Hindmarsh of Harvard University. The author‘s preâ€" face contains a single sentence which helps to explain Mrs. Haller‘s course as well as his own book, namely, "This study of Japan‘s foreign policy is deâ€" signed to indicate the extent to which the domestic situation (of Japan) supâ€" plies the motivatioh of Japan‘s actions and attitudes." West Ridge Community Club Met Jan. 6th ® Persons interested in joining the study course should phone their regisâ€" trations to either Mrs. Haller, H.;. 3447, or Mrs. Ralph Wanger, H. P.

Coffee and coffee cake were served. The next meeting of the club promâ€" ises to be very entertaining. There will ur‘store for us in 1942, All of us know, however, that war in all its ugly realiâ€" ty has been forced upon us. All of us know that our Red Cross faces the busiest year of service in its history. War expenses will be unprecedentedly great. Fifty million dollars are needed immediately. They are needed to finâ€" ance the five principal war time serâ€" vices of the Red Cross. and Navy Welfare Fi:l'.-'.ltu is Military and Naval Welfare Service. The first duty of the Red Cross, according to the terms of its Congressional Charter, is to aid the soldiers and sailors and their families in time of sickness and trouble. Red Cross Nurses are on duty _at every Army and Navy hospital. â€"Approxiâ€" mately 10,000 nurses have already been inducted â€"into active service. Another 10,000 will be inducted in 1942. The Red Cross is recruiting 20,000 nurses to take their places in the Red Cross Nursing Reserve of 50,000 nurses. The Red Cross also maintains a staff of trained medical social workers in all Army and Navy hospitals They aid the doctors and nurses in caring for the ill. The Red Cross also provides recreational equipment and trained reâ€" creational workers for all recreational buildings erected in conjunction with military and naval hospitals. The Red Cross also furnishes occupational theâ€" rapy equipment as well as professional instruction in its use, thus helping conâ€" valescent patients along the road to recovery. In addition, the Red Cross enrolls thousands of medical technoloâ€" gist for service in the Army and Navy kospital laboratories. Red Cross War Fund Expenditures Explained The able bodied service man has little occasion to come in contact with the Red Coss. The minute he is sick or in trouble, however, or the members of his family are sick or in trouble, then the Red Cross is ready and able to serve. The Red Cross is the official social service agency of the soldiers and sailors and their families, perâ€" forming twelve differentâ€" types of social service specifically requested by the military and naval authorities and incorporated into Army and Navy regulations. Whenever service men‘s famili¢s lose their earning capacity or exhaust their resources, the Red Cross aids them until they can again become selfâ€"supporting. The Red Cross serves t the connecting link between the serâ€" vice men on active duty and their folks back home, maintaining the morale of both. The Red Cross is handling 120,â€" 000 service men‘s cases a month at a cost of $1,000,000 a month. As soon as our Army and Navy are doubled in size, the Red Cross will handle a quarâ€" ter of a million service men‘s cases a month at a cost of over $2,000,000 a month or $25,000,000 a year. Disaster Relief Second, there is Disaster Relief. Toâ€" day, wars are waged on unarmed civiâ€" lians more than on combat forces. Throughout the period of this World War, civilian casualties in proportion to the military have been 25 times greater than in the first World War. Aiding the sick and wounded of war today is primarily a disaster relief operation. The Red Cross is the counâ€" try‘s official disaster relief agency, according to the terms of its Congresâ€" sional Charter. Each year in this counâ€" try of ours, the Red Cross serves in more than 150 disasters with an averâ€" age of 250,000 victims and annual disaster relief expenditures avenzing’ $4,000,000. Next year, we shall have the hazards of bombing, shell fire and sabotage added to the threats of natuâ€" ral disasters. In the last 12 months, our Fedcral Bureau of Investigation has investigated 68,300 cases of attempted espionage and sabotage. In every case where overt steps have been taken, our F.B.I. has outwitted and outsmarted these enemy agents at their own game. They may not always be so fortunate. Anything can happen and: no matter when or where it happens, the Red Cross will be ready, just as it was at Honolulu and Manila when the Japanâ€" ese bombers struck. The Red Cross will be ready with food, clothing, shelâ€" ter, medical aid and rehabilitation asâ€" sistance for the victims of all disasters. We know that natural disasters will require disaster relief expenditures of at least $4,000,000 next year,. No one knows how many millions more will Third, there is the expansion of the Red Cross Health and Safety Services. The Red Cross must train six million persons in First Aid Life Saving, Home Nursing, and Food and Nutriâ€" tion in 1942. Our job in the year ahead be required for relief operations in manâ€"made disasters. Circle One of the Presbyterian church served the luncheon at the meeting of the Woman‘s association this noom. Mrs. Philip Tennis Jr. is the chairman of the circle. is to train at least one First Aider and Life Saver in every squad in the miliâ€" tary and naval forces and in every factory, hotel, and commercial estab lishment on the civilian front Our of us knows what fate holds for us in 1942. All of us know, Care for Sick by: Roger The PRESS job is to train at least one person in Home Nursing and Food and Nutriâ€" tion in husdreds of thousands of homes throughout the land. We must prepare for the invasion~df Influenza and other cpidemics that in time of war kill ten times as many persons as all the bullets, weapons, and munitions of war combined. We must curb the accident toll in this country which every year claims twice as many vicâ€" tims as our entire battle losses throughâ€" out the period of the World War. These health and safety services have a distinct curative value, but they have an even greater preventive value. For every so many persons trained, there are bound to be so many lives saved. The law of averages works in our favor and the law of averages is as sure as the law of gravity. Incidentalâ€" ly, there can beâ€"no greater contribuâ€" tion to the national defense of our country than saving the lives and imâ€" proving the health of the people of our country. Five million dollars will be required by the Red Cross to give its health and safety training to the six millions of additional persons now demanding it, both in military and naval services and on the civilian front. Volunteer Service Fourth, there is the expansion of the Red Cross Volunteer Special Services. Largest is the Production Corps. In two years, this has grown from 200,â€" 000 to 2,000,000 willing workers. They are producing millions of garments for hospitalized soldiers and sailors, disâ€" wbled veterans, disaster victims, and war refugees. They are producing 40,â€" 000,000 surgical dressings a year for our Army and Navy. Once the shootâ€" ing starts on a big scale, these quotas will probably be increased to 40,000,000 surgical dressings a month. In addiâ€" tion to these Production Corps workâ€" ers, there are thousands of Staff Asâ€" sistants who do office work, Canteen Corps workers who handle mass feedâ€" ing operations, Motor Corps volunteers who drive trucks and ambulances, and Gray Ladies and Nurse‘s Aides assist the doctors, nurses and overburdened hospital staffs in the hospitals. In the next six months, these volunteer workâ€" ers will increase in numbers from 2,â€" 000,000 to 4,000,000. Additional millions of dollars will be needed to finance their additional services. 5 Blood Donor Service * . Fifth, there is the Red Cross Blood Donors Service. At the request of the military and naval authorities, the Red Cross is enrolling 200,000 blood donors to give 200,000 pints of blood for blood transfusions for members of our Army and Navy. The blood is processed into plasma, which is the liquid carrying fluid of the blood with the corpuscles removed. The project was inaugurated. originally to secure blood for English bombing victims. Blood transfusions are needed most often in cases of burns, shock and hemorrhages. These are the injuries that occur most freâ€" quently in time of war, both on the field of combat and. on the civilian front. At the present time, all blood collected and processed by the Ameriâ€" can Red Cross is used exclusively for our own soldiers and sailors and for our own victims of bombing raids. Red Cross blood plasma has already saved lives on the U.S.S. Kearney in the Atlantic, and at Honolulu and Manila in the Pacific. It costs the Red Cross $600,000 a year to collect and process 200,000 pints of blood. Once our war effort is well under way, the Red Cross will probably be asked to secure 2,000,000 pints of blood a year inâ€" stead of 200,000. This will mean exâ€" pengditures of $6,000,000 a year instead The Red Cross is quasiâ€"governmenâ€" tal. Its President is always the Presiâ€" dent of the United States. Its national chairman is always a presidential apâ€" pointee. One third of its national govâ€" erning board ‘consists of presidential appointees representing the Departâ€" ments of War, Navy, State, Treasury, and Justice Red Cross accounts are audited by the War Department and an annual report of Red Cross activiâ€" ties, receipts and expenditures is subâ€" mitted to Congress by the Secretary of War for acceptance and approval. The duties of the Red Cross are prescribed by Congress. Despite this quasiâ€"governâ€" mental character, however, the Red Cross derives no financial suppor t from the government. All Red Cross services are dependent for their conâ€" timuance and maintenance on voluntary emfibmium(ml_hgamnlme. In military service, as Frederick the Great once stated, an Army marches on its stomach. In humanitarian serâ€" vice, the Red Cross Army of Mercy marches on its War Fund dollars. Toâ€" day the Red Cross Army of Mercy is marching straight down the center of the road toward the goal of a better is marching straight down of the road toward the goal America. Keep it marching.
