SA al ------------ ee -- September 29, 1928 WINNETK AXTARLK 47 Hurricane Relief Just One of Many Red Cross Tasks Other than carrying on its work of first aid and life saving, health and home hygiene, aid to ex-service men and the Junior Red Cross, the American National Red Cross has afforded re- lief to victims in eighty-eight major disasters during the year ending June 30, 1928, according to James B. For- gan, Jr, chairman for the Red Cross in the Chicago area. These figures do not include the relief operations in the Mississippi Valley floods, the New England floods, the thirteen other disasters which oc- curred prior to July 1, 1927, nor even the great West Indies-Florida hurri- cane relief operation now under way. Tornado disasters lead the list, there being twenty-nine listed for the year. Fires are second with a total of twenty-four while floods are third, the report showing fourteen relief operations, At this time the Red Cross is call- ing on the people of the Chicago area for a relief fund of $300,000 for the victims of the West Indies-Florida hurricane. Co-operating in this drive is the Chicago Association of Com- merce whose workers are headed by their president, William R. Dawes. The drive was opened on solicitation of President Coolidge who appealed to Chicagoans and people of the United States generally to aid the sufferers. It is estimated this relief operation, which is in the hands of the Red Cross, will require many months and several million dollars to relieve the suffering and return the devastated areas to normalcy. Aerial Attack Hope of Maroons in Grid Opener Plenty of forward passing and open plays should be in evidence on Stagg Field this Saturday afternoon when the Maroon team opens its season by engaging the University of South Carolina and Ripon college at Stagg Field. The first game with Carolina, startes at 2 o'clock, and the second immediately after the end of the first. Stagg, with backfield material much improved over that of last year, will rely largely on forward passing to win. And both of the Maroon op- ponents, according to advance reports, are relying on an aerial and speed attack to win. South Carolina has al- ready demonstrated its ability by trim- ming Erskine, 19 to 0. The Maroons will be hard-pressed to win both games, because several of the men may be ineligible, and there has been a large crop of minor injur- ies in practice to cut down the squad. Some of his best men, especially the backs, will have to play in parts of both games.
