S. servicemen are stationed. Here a Red Cross field director goes right to a young sailor at work on his ship for the facts he needs to help solve a problem. The sailor was young. He had finished his home leave in a south-ern coastal city and was heading back to his California base. He said goodby to his parents and to an older brother, a marine veteran just returned from service. Then he left by bus. A few hours later the older brother was killed in an automobile accident. The family appealed to the Red Cross to locate the younger son so he could return home. Within a short while a Red Cross chapter secretary along the route intercepted the bus, broke the news, and helped the lad get start-ed back home. There the chapter got in touch with the field director at the west coast base and verified the facts for the commanding off-icer who was being asked to ex-tend the sailor's leave. Once or more every minute, around the clock last year, the Red Cross performed some service for members of the military forces and their families. Among the nearly three quarters of a million cases handled, a large percentage involv-ed supplying verified information concerning home conditions requir-ing emergency leave or extension of lave. While the Red Cross cannot grant leave to a serviceman, military authorities depend upon its post field directors and the net-work of chapters for reports of conditions underlying such leave requests. Field directors in 364 military installations and hospitals and itinerant- - and in this country and abroad aid serv-icemen with personal problems that range from babies and budgets to helping straighten out delays that hold up pay or family allowances. The serviceman has his family problems, marital difficulties, fi-nancial strains, and family ill-nesses all disturbing to morale. Field directors, providing service at military installa-tions, are pretty much in the same situation as the family doctor. They are routed out of bed at all hours to face any one of a hundred complicated problems. Sometimes it may be to get a report on the condition of a critically ill member of a soldier's family, or to lend him money for an emergency trip home, or to find housing for a family un-expectedly arriving at the post. Whatever the problem, the serv-iceman feels free to turn to the Red Cross for help, knowing that he will find a sympathetic friend in the man wearing the Red Cross uniform.
