RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTED HERE TO AID
HUNGARIAN REFUGEES
The tragic suffering of the peo
ple of Hungary has caused every
American to want to send help.
This help has gone from the
American Red Cross, which has
been joined by other Red Cross
societies thruout the world in
rushing medical supplies, food,
blankets, and necessities to the
stricken area.
The Red Cross is the interna
tional agency that is now moving
supplies into Hungary and super
vising their distribution. As refu
gees poured into Austria by the
thousands the Austrian govern
ment turned to the Red Cross to
assume responsibility for the ref
ugees. ,
It is reported that more than
100,000 refugees have already
crossed over the Hungarian bor
der and daily additional numbers
pour into Austria. The needs con
tinue to mount in Hungary as
well as among the refugees who
have escaped.
The Red Cross must have addi
tional funds to help meet the in
creasing need for food, medical
supplies, clothing and other essen
tials. Chapters are requested to
immediately launch a campaign
for $5 million. Chapters are being
urged to take all possible steps in
putting this appeal before the
people of each community.
Americans everywhere will
want to play their part thru the
Red Cross in assisting Hungarian
refugees. Every step will be taken
at the national level to inform the
public of the needs and what the
Red Cross is doing.
The Nome quota is $60. Any
one wishing to contribute may
mail or give their offering to
Rev. Willard Mecklenburg, act
ing chairman of the Nome Chap
ter of the American Red Cross.
