The Red Cross has Problems likeyour own of Planning Your Red Cross operates a vast planning program to enable it to be ready for any disaster or emergency anywhere-whether it comes in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia, or Africa. of Organization Your Red Cross is responsible for the smooth operation of 3,750 chapters and 6,000 branches, all engaged in the same enterprise of helping all who need help. of Personnel Your Red Cross has tripled its staff since Pearl Harbor and has had to enlist the aid of and train over 6,000,000 volunteers in the principles of First Aid, Water Safety, Accident Prevention, Home Nursing, Nutrition, Nurse's Aideing, Mass Feeding, Motor Mechanics, and other subjects allied to our country's war effort. of Production Your Red Cross is not only one of the world's foremost purchasers of supplies, but it has the immense distribution job of collecting millions of items from 10,000 different communities in the United States, assembling and storing them, and then shipping them to practically every country in the world.Last year your Red Cross shipped some $60,000,000 worth of food, clothing, and medical supplies to over 20,000,000 homeless people in foreign countries. of Finance Your Red Cross, whose war -time and post-war expenses will run well into hundreds of millions, must account to the public for every penny it collects and puts to work.Its accounts are audited annually by the U. S. War Department. The Red Cross faces the same problems as are in your business.With your support it can successfully meet them. The Second War Fund is greater than the First, but no greater than the increased needs. Business men can help with time and with money, as organizations and as individuals.
