Dick O'Neil in the Red Cross office in Woodstock tills week. Corporal O'Neil, only 21, has been wounded twice in the Korean battlefield. He now carries a bullet in his left shoulder which they expect to remove while he Is still in the States. His step- •jfather, Edward D. Meek, is also ^serving in Korea and the terrific strain of worry about both of the men in her family caused doctors on the case to feel that the return of her son would be of physical assistance to Mrs. Meek. Corp. O'Neil told in ths office of his experience of being one of forty-six saved in his entire company that were attacked in the rice paddles and that he laid there for some freight hours before he was rescued. While lying disconsolately on tils hospital bed, he was approached fcy an officer who asked him how lie would like to spend Christmas iH the States and his reply, so typically that of a sick boy was, "Have you got holes ill your head?" But it was explained to him that arrangements had been made by ther military, through the American t JRed Cross, to have him flown back fpb three hours* . This is quoting the individual case, but on the national set-up, we learn that $400,000 has been granted for civilian relief in Korea by ths American Red Cross and that two medical teams each comprised of u public health doctor, a sanitary engineer and home service welfare worker have been added to tile six teams of medical help being provided through the League of Red Cross society, at the request of the United Nations. The League of Red Cross society has offered to date more than $1JS0,- 000 for relief for Korean civilians. As of Nov. 29, there were seventy- nine Red Cross workers In Korea, including hospital workers, and 385 Red Cross workers in the Far Eastern theatre of operations. Red Cross overseas staff In all theatres now total €71. In the fund drive 't is noted that part of the money collected in each chapter goes to support these large international projects as well as the disaster help giv^n in times of fire, flood and tornado on a national scale. Friday morning, the Rod Cross station wagon, filled to capacity with Christmas tree decorations, bean bags,'scrap books and table decorations for the wounded veterans at Downey, was driven by Mrs. Olive Tallman of Wonder Lake. It is through &e help of the Girl Scout troops across McHenry county, namely in Marengo, Crystal Lake, St. Mary's at Woodstock, McHenry and Wonder Lake and the Parent-Teachers' association In Cary, that boxes of handmade wool angels, sequin-trimmed Christmas trees on nut cups, Santa Clauses emerging from chimneys, hand-trimmed Santa Clauses' with white cotton beards and gold cornucopia heads and evergreen table decorations trimmed with "m CHRISTMAS AT THE WONDER LAKE GOSPEL CHURCH < Nonesecterian) / FRANK W.
