"About half of them could be fixed up. but half are beyond repair. Even in 1944 a year of high farm incomes about a million of the operator families with inadequate dwellings did not have sufficient money, including returns from jobs off the farm, to improve their houses or build new ones. "A million and a half, all told, does not seem too high a guess s as to the total number of who need better housing and cannot finance it.

Red Cross Faces Greatest Task in Fourth War Year Facing Red Cross service on the home serving American fighting men on advancing war fronts overseas, their families at home, their buddies returning to the United States after discharge, and the American people in emergencies on the home front, the American Red Cross will launch its third War Fund campaign March demand upon it, Mr. O'Connor said. In addition to collecting more than ten million pints of blood for plasma since the beginning of the war, the Red Cross has met requests of the Army and Navy for whole blood shipments to European and Pacific battle areas. Ten centers on the East and West coasts already participate in tbe collection of Type O whole blood, while others stand ready to join in that program as military needs warrant. At four packaging centers, manned by volunteer workers, more than 20,000,000 food parcels have been turned out in a steady stream for shipment to prisoners of war and civilian internees in Germany and the Far East Surgical dressings 775,000,000 of them were prepared in the past year alone for front line and hospital use. Production workers in hundreds of communities have continued the never ceasing: program of making warm garments for coundestitute civilians In war-tortries overseas, and in those countries the Red Cross has assisted the Army in caring for refugees and homeless people. Nor has its service to the armed forces on a global scale caused any relaxation on the part of the Red Cross to carry out its traditional service to the American people in time ot disaster. More than 200 domestic disasters floods, high winds and fires have found Red Cross workers on the job to relieve stricken families and to aid in tha rebuilding ot communities. "The seed for Red Cross services la the coming year will be greater than ever before," Mr. O'Connor said. "In fulfilling the Red Cross appeal for $200,000,000, the American people will indicate its wholehearted backing of men in tha front lines." D.
