3,000,000 FAMILIES
HELPED BY RED GROSS
Distress in All Areas Met by
Giving Food, Clothing
and Other Aid.
More than 3,000,000 families through-
out the nation were given teller of
various types by the American Red
Cross In the past winter, to aid them
In their distress caused by unemploy-
ment, disaster or other misfortune.
A major relief task, due to unem-
ployment and other unusual conditions
In the bituminous mining counties In
twenty states, was met by the Red
Cross chapters alone, or participating
with other agencies, in these 143 coun-
ties, the Red Cross aided 90,000 fami-
lies through giving groceries, school
lunches, clothing, flour and other ne-
cessities to combat privation.
Flour, milled from government wheat
turned over to the Red Cross by Con-
gress, was given to 15,000,000 persons
in the period from March 8 to June 30,
the close of the fiscal year. Flour will
continue to be given through the win-
ter of 1932-33, and Red Cross chapters
also will give cotton clothing, made
from government cotton turned over
to the Red Cross for distribution.
"The Red Cross faces the busiest
winter since the days of tho World
War,” Chairman John Barton Payne
said. "It is organized In virtually every
one of the 3,072 counties in the United
States, and will co-operate with all
agencies to meet distress wherever
found. The flour has proved of great
beneflt, and the cotton clothing will be
given wide distribution.”
While carrying on nation wide these
unemployment and other relief meas-
ures, the Red Cross also was engaged
In Its regular peace-time activities In
public health nursing, service to ex
service men and their families, teach-
ing home hygiene, life saving and first,
aid. The Junior Red Cross, composed
of almost 7,000,000 school children, also
rallied to the support of the society’s
relief efforts, and the children aided
others of their age In practical ways,
formed sewing and food canning
classes, and were of great assistance
In chapter relief work.
While the wheat and cotton were
given by the U. S. Government, no
money was provided to pay for the
necessary work entailed. The Rod Cross
will meet this expense of almost
$500,000 from Its treasury. Citizens
can aid by Joining as members of the
local Red Cross chapter during tho roll
call from Armistice Day to Thanks-
giving Day.
Red Cross public health nurses, who
work in hundreds of communities, are
meeting the greatest demands In his-
tory for their services, due to the do
pression. Visits In maternity cases,
protecting the heat . of Infants and
children, and aiding mothers in dis-
tress due to unemployment of the
bread-winners have taken them Into
thousands of homes. The nurses made
1,357.000 visits to or on behalf of indi-
viduals, and Inspected 949,000 school
children. More than 58,000 adults were
instructed in home hygiene and care
of the sick.
Blind Readers Get Books
Books in braille for reading by the
blind are made by women under Red
Cross direction. Last year 2,813 such
bookB were produced In single copy,
and 3,538 In double copies. Fiction,
biography, history, economics and
school books were among those print-
ed In braille. The Red Cross gives
them to libraries for free distribution
to blind readers.
Red Cross to Enlist Great Army
of Members to Fight
Distress
Last year 4,004.459 men and wo-
men Joined the American Red Cross
as members during the annual roil
call, Armistice Day to Thanksglv
Ing Day. A peacetime army even
greater than this will be needed
In 1932-33 to support and carry on
the nationwide relief work of the
Red Cross. There are 3,039 Red
Cross Chaplers and they have
10,000 branches.
Pride Is always hard on a man's

Historic Spots in Ohio
Marked for Posterity
Schoenbrunn, Gnndenhutten and Fort
Laurens, arc historic sites of Tus-
carawas county, Iowa. Schoenbrunn
Is significant as the llrst settlement
In the state. But tills settlement,
made in 1772, was not permanent,
Muriettn being the tlrst permanent set-
tlement. Schoenbrunn has been re
built, the buildings being constructed
of logs on their original sites, follow-
ing the style of the old ones ns closely

by the Stnto Historical society and
the citizens of New Philadelphia.

Clothes for the Needy
Women volunteers sewing for the
needy under direction of the Red Cross
produced 295,000 garments last year,
and will produce millions of garments
In tho winter of 1932-33. These will be
from the millions of yards of cotton
cloth distributed by the national Red
Cross from the 600,000 bales of cotton
turned over to the organization by
Congress. Cloth was sent to nil chap-
ters requesting It. and later It was
proposed to send some simple ready-
made garments, including trousers,
overalls, underwear, stockings and
sox.
history as Hie scene of the massacre
of the Christian Indians, a massacre
perhaps unequaled in the history of
the Indian wars for Its cold blooded
butchery. The massacre occurred on
March 8, 1782.
Fort Laurens Is said to have been
the first fort built by Americans with-
in the present boundaries of what Is
now the state of Ohio. Geaeral McIn-
tosh erected the fort In 1701), on the
west bank of the Tuscarawas below
Sandy creek, about a mllo from the
present town of Bolivar. It was
named In honor of Henry Laurens,
who was president of congress during
1777 and 1778.

To Discourage "Tippling’’?
Mugs with a frog model affixed to J
the bottom on the Inside, popularly j
known ns frog mugs, were turned out
at the pottery works at Leeds, Sun- J
derland and Nottingham, beginning [
about 1S00. They were made at other
English potteries also. The purpose
of the frog Is a matter of speculation.
It might Just have been a popular nov-
elty. According to another theory, it
might have been instigated by pro-
hibition agitation current even as far
back ns the early Nineteenth century,
tlie idea being to scare the tippler half
out of his wits into more temperate
ways with the frog deception when he
had drunk half of Hie contents.—Chi-
cago Post.
Huge pits of varying dimensions
found in Suffolkshire, England, are
said to be flint pits, some of them
thousands of years old. Only one pit
Is now in active operation, a visitor
writes: "The shaft of the pit de-
scended by stages to a depth of some
30 feet. Not a single mechanical con-
trivance is used for working the pit.
Working hours are calculated by the
number of candle ends burnt. As far
as I could see, the methods of work-
ing the pit and trimming—or ’knap-
ping'—the stone were the same as
they must have been in prehistoric
times, when Brandon provided Eng-
land's first warriors with their spear
heads. I have since discovered that
the successive generations of one
Brandon family, called Snnre, have
handed down the traditional craft of
flint-knapping for at least 000 years.”
