Under the leadership of Mrs. G Ted Hone and Ford Creer. some 200 volunteer workers are making the rounds in each community. They intend to collect their share j of the $51,799 1952 drive goal, j "In their work, these persons are often up against quite a challenge." said Chairman Creer. "They are often met by the reply that the family contacted has already given through their place of employment. So their task is doubly hard in pqinting out that all must be fiven a chance to contribute mother and child." , Working under Mrs. Hone and Mr. Creer are captains. They are in charge of various districts throughout the county. Mostly, these districts are organized in relation to community boundaries. Districts and their captains are as follows: Hooper, Ed Hancock; Kanesville, Edisoiv Toone and Joe Todd; Roy and Lakeview, Burton K. Mansfield; Riverdale. G. E.

Local Red Cross Busy Trying to Locate Housing Unhappy circumstances has put the Weber county chapter, Ameri' can Red Cross, in the house-hunting business. A fire gutted the home of an 11-member family in North Ogden July 12. After a search, the Red Cross thought they had located a home for them — but it was no soap.. The family is back on the front lawn of their burned-out home in a tent. On top of that, the local chapter has been asked to locate housing for a double amputee of World war I and his 13-year-old daughter. His accommodations due to his condition, have to be. about right. Back in a Boy Scout tent is Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thompson and their nine children. They thought they had a home located in Uintah, but further investigation revealed it was unsuited. They were ready to move in too. So now the local chapter renews their appeal for a home, ^t a reasonable rent, in which the two parents and their nine children can live comfortably. Mr. Thompson is an invalid due to a serious heart condition. Seeking the second house or apartment is William A. Creechly who must spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. He and his 13-year-old daughter, Lueen need a house or apartment with these restrictions. The housing must be on street level, or not more than two or three steps up and doors must be 25 inches wide or wider to accommodate the wheelchair. The veteran would prefer the unit to be in Ogden where he has many friends who he may be able to visit with now and again. He has been in veterans' hospitals in Wyoming and Colorado for the past three years and is eager to see his friends again. It is desired that the housing unit be furnished also and the rent reasonable. Probably a two bedroom apartment or a single bedroom apartment with a bed-divan in the lining room would fit the bill, officials said. Servicemen Still Bleedi In Korea; You Can Hel Despite truce talks, young Americans are still bleedingaon the battlefields in Korea and. crtieens on | the home front must continue to give generously of their blood if the medical corps is to keep up its fine record of saving the wounded. Ogdenites will agaiji have their chance to contribute this Thursday, Friday and next Monday when the Charles O. Sweetwood blood car arrives, said Mrs. Leah Greenwell, executive secretary of Weber county chapter, Red Cross. The car will be 011 a siding at Twenty-sixth and Wall. Hours are: Thursday, nine-thirty a. m. to three-thirty p. m.. Friday, two to seven p. m., and Monday from three until eight p. m. To help eliminate long waits, donors are asked to call 4601 and register, telling what time and day they can appear. They will of ♦ course be accommodated if they go directly to the car. but may I have to wait, Mrs. Greenwell said. Those planning to donate should eat nothing for four hours prior to giving, but if they have to eat, i should limit the meal to fruit juices, dry toast and black coffee. Only 95 have registered to date, whereas the car will be able to accommodate at least 350 during the three-day stay. N. S. D. Extends Red Cross Drive CLEARFIELD — Even though it has already collected more than last year, Clearfield naval supply depot is extending its Red Cross drive through Friday, April 4, to raise extra funds for disaster victims. To date the depot has collected $3650, compared to $3442 last year, said Rear Adm. C. H. Gil-lilan, commander. This averages out about $1.08 per employe, with or.e division, labor and equipment branch, having the high average of $1.45 per person. An especially enthusiastic contributor in that department is Jose D. Leyba, who as a prisoner of war in Germany was enabled to survive with the help of Red Cross packages.
