The drive in the various wards is being carried on by ward commit tees. The chairmen are: Alpine- Frank Strong and Don Strong; First ward Mrs. Lucy Bush; Sec ond ward Mrs. Elwyn Wride; Third ward chairman to be selected; Fourth ward Jack Butte; Highland Mrs. Louella Blnns. Mrs. Mur dock and City Councilman W. 8. Storm are making the canvass of the business section. Tornadoes, floods, fires and other major catastrophes during the past year took the American Red Cross to the scene of 102 disasters throughout the United States where more than 100,000 persons were given shelter, food, medical attention and rehabilitation rehabili-tation assistance, Mrs. Priscllla Murdock, Mur-dock, chairman of the American Fork Red Cross Roll Call declared. "The speed and efficiency with which the Red Cross was able to answer an-swer the call for disaster relief assistance as-sistance last year shows why strong membership support at Roll Call time is essential," she said. "On November 11, the Red Cross started Its annual drive for membership. The opportunity is given every person per-son in American Fork to support the disaster relief work and other services of the Red Cross." - The past 12 months, it was pointed out, represented a typical year of disaster-lighting for the Red Cross. Red Cross operations in this field were carried out in all but 14 states where trained workers of the national nation-al staff worked with chapter volunteers volun-teers to bring aid to the disaster stricken. "Although types of disasters varied var-ied considerably, relief .needs were the same In most cases Mrs. Murdock Mur-dock said. "The emergency responsibility respon-sibility falling to the Red Cross in the wake of disaster was that of assisting in the saving of lives, then providing for emergency feeding, housing and medical attention. "The exacting task of rehabilitation rehabilita-tion followed the period of the emergency whether the disaster was n flood, fire or tornado." In addition to the need for preparing pre-paring for disaster relief in the year to come, the American Red Cross is taking an active part in the national na-tional defense program of the country, coun-try, and Red Cross field directors in military posts are having their busiest bus-iest year since the days of the first World War Native Of A. F. Writes New Novel On Mormon Theme Paul Bailey, a native of American Fork now living IttClliforhla, Is the author of a new book, "For mis My uiory, ' a ' novel piacea I against a background of early MoM mon history, which has Just come off the press. A copy of the new book was pre sented recently to tie American Fork public library by the author's mother, Mrs. Olive Forbes Young, a daughter of the late Joseph B. Forbes, pioneer educator of this community. An excellent review of the new book is given in the November issue is-sue of the Improvement Era. The reviewer declares this "story of a Mormon life" to have been written "with exceptional power and beauty." beau-ty." "It Is a book for which we have long waited. And, we wonder why, with the wealth of Mormon history available, It has not been done before." J "It is a story of love and sorrow," the review continues, "of romance and stirring adventure, of human weakness 'and strength, of heart searchings, spiritual toil, and self-conquest self-conquest . The well-told tale is laid against a background of Mormon Mor-mon history. It begins in the bloody Missouri days and ends in Utah at the time of the polygamy persecutions covering a man's life from boyhood to old age. "As the story proceeds, places, I events, and personalities famous in ! Mormon history appear, such as HWCpU UI1UWI, JJ If 1 A UUII(, lard Richards, JBamJjgraonan; Fax West, Nauvob, Winter Quarters, the Mormon Battalion, early Los Angeles Ange-les and San Francisco. Sutter's fort and the discovery of gold, the Ship Brooklyn, Salt Lake City, and the settlements of Utah all finding their places unobtrusively, but clearly as the plot is unfolded. In fact, the book is not only a novel of absorbing Interest, but a fine, correct view of Important phases of Mormon history. "It is the only novel to follow the Mormon Battalion from the enlistment, enlist-ment, over the man-killing desert march, to the day when it was mustered out. . . "We welcome this fine story and hope it may find entrance into many homes within nnd beyond the church, for the skillful placing of a life and love story in a romantic historical setting will appeal to young and old.
