While a courier
sped up the line to fetch the soldier,
the Red Cross man was busy arrang-
ing transportation.
Within a few hours the boy was at
the Red Cross field office where fur-
lough papers and a ticket awaited
him. The field director drove him to
the airport, and the boy arrived home
in time—not to see his mother die,
but to save her life with a blood
transfusion.
Today, six months after V-J Day,
some 17,000 Red Cross workers are
still with the GIs at home and abroad.
Hundreds of clubs and rest homes
overseas are in operation where men
meet on leave, get home-cooked food,
and that prime American favorite—
doughnuts and coffee. Music and en-
tertainment, books, magazines, and
home-town newspapers, lounge and
writing rooms—all are popular,
men staying overnight there are com-
fortable beds, clean sheets, and hot
showers.
More important than Red Cross
services to the able-bodied are those
for the wounded and ill. In army and
navy hospitals the country over, pro-
fessional and volunteer Red Cross
workers serve in many ways.
To the hospitalized a financial or
family problem may prey upon the
mind and dull the will to recovery.
Under guidance of Red Cross medical
social workers many a problem is dis-
solved, and difficult obstacles are
smoothed, while programs directed
by trained recreation workers help
patients ^forget their troubles. Red
Cross volunteers supplement these
workers with every conceivable service.
For example, there was the blinded
soldier whose face was horribly scar-
red, who was expecting a visit from
duff and wife in Sherman and Bon-
ham.

Gently she told the child about her
daddy’s face, how it would get better,
how much he loved her, and that she
mustn’t be afraid. Then, with a
prayer in her heart, she led mother
and child to the blinded soldier.
The crucial moment had come. Now,
upon the actions of a little girl, the
future of this family would depend.
For a moment the tot stood in the
doorway, looking at her father across
the room. Then, without hesitation,
came the patter of little feet, and she
threw her arms around her father’s
neck. “Daddy,” she cried, “Daddy,
it’s me—we’re so glad to have you
back!”
A simple service, yes. But it de-
termined the happiness of three
people. Without the understanding
heart, and the many who daily give
of their minds and souls, the adjust-
ment of thousands of servicemen
might be seriously retarded.
The American Red Cross needs
$100,000,000 to carry on during the
next fiscal year. That sum is small
when stacked against the heartaches
stilled, suffering eased, misery re-
lieved, new hope infused—day in, day
out—because of Red Cross ministra-
tions.
Because farm families have a big
stake in the Red Cross they consis-
tently support the organization. The
Red Cross is confident that families
in agricultural areas, the backbone of
the nation, will generously support
the 1946 Fund Campaign.

“My little girl knows I’m blind and
she’s planning how she’ll do things for
me,” he said.
But what she did not know, what
had been kept from him so that it
might not retard his readjustment,
was the way he was scarred and dis-
figured.
The Red Cross girl caught her
breath. “That’s fine,” she said. “I’ll
meet them at the train.”
Her heart sank upon seeing the
tiny girl. It would be a job to pre-
pare her for the shock, to make sure
