Mrs. Dobbs Letter to the Editor 4/4/51 May 30, 1951 Editor Ogden Standard-Examiner Ogden, Utah Dear Sir: Most people donate to the Red Cross during their annual drive. Many of these, though, do so in spite of the fact that they loudly voice their criticism of the organ¬ization. If ever the Red Cross has failed to do a certain service—possibly be¬cause hindered by regulations or because service was not -really needed—the report seems to spread far and wide and become greatly magnified. The final conclusions one hears from various people at different times then are that they do no good and the money we do¬nate is used only to pay salaries to high officials. As one who has recently received assistance I want all to know of one example of Red Cross help. The first of May I went out to Hill Air Force base hospital to have a baby. Since I had no relatives closer than Chicago and my hus¬band was in Korea with the First Marine division, I made financial arrangements with a woman to care for my three-year-old and a friend volunteered to keep my six- year-old during my absence. I had been home but a short time when complications arose. As the corpsmen prepared to take me and the new baby back to the hos¬pital in the ambulance, my daughter said, "Mommy, who's going to feed s?" I didn't have any answer. I had exhausted my resources for my first trip. A good friend, Mrs. Bet¬ty Wiese, stayed with the children that night and stayed home from work the next morning. She con-tacted Miss Sorenson of the Red Cross. They found and placed the girls in a nursery where they re-mained until I came home again. Then they found a woman who came to live with us and took over my entire job at home until now when I am able to do it myself again. Since our new son brought the number of his dependents to four, my husband is now receiving his discharge and is on his way home. This too was made possible by the Red Cross when they sent a com-munication to Korea, at my hus¬band's request, verifying the fact that we had a new baby. To Miss Sorenson, the Red Cross worker who worked so hard solving my problems for me; to Mrs. Brown, who came to stay with, me and did even more than could have been expected and willingly lost a government job to be with me; and finally to all the fine people of Ogden. who donated to the Red Cross drive and made paying Mrs. Brown and the nursery possible, I ,£end my sincerest thanks. I deep¬ly appreciate the help you have given me. Sincerely, Mrs. George Mead 1417 Binford Ogden, Utah County Red Cross Helped at Wreck Various disaster services of the, Weber county chapter, American Red Cross were alerted and six trained first aid personnel were dispatched to the train wreck scene and remained until this, morning.
