H.C.L. HITS WORK
OF THE RED CROSS
Peace Program of Association
Considerably Mose Costly
Than War Activities
The high cost of giving aid and re
lief to the families of American sol
diers has hit the Gulf Division of the
American Red Cross, according to
a statement given out by Harry L.
Hopkins, Director of Civilian Relief
fer the Division. In this statement
Mr. Hopkins points oyt that during
August the Red Cross in Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi spent twice
as much for this purpose as the av
erage monthly sum expended during
the twelve months preceding Aug- J
ust.
During August the Gulf Division
A- R. C., spent $12,264.25 on aid giv
en to the families of soldiers through
the 224 Home Service sections of the
Division. During the twenty previ
ous months the Division had spent
$114,624.76, bringing the total up to
$126889.10. Of this total $69,451.24
was devoted-to giving aid to the fam
ilies of soldiers, sailors and marines
in Louisiana, $5,684.58 being the sum
spent during August.
15,492 Families Aided.
In all, 15,492 families in the Gulf
division were furnished information
and financial relief through the
month of August ,the total number
of families aided, which includes the
20 months prior to August, being
155,160. Of this latter total 63,164 of
the families resided in Louisiana
5902 of these families being served
during August.
"The Gulf Division is proud of this
record," said Mr. Hopkins in mak
ing public the figure for the report,
"particularly in view of the fact that
the Gulf Division is the only division
in the Uunited States which has a
Home Service Section for every chap
ter. However, these figures by no
means represent the total activities
of these sections.
"For instance the New Orleans
Home Service Agent had aided 1718
transient families here, 214 of these
families being assisted during August
The Division of Civilian Relief sends
out 12,000 letters a month on an av
erage.
All Part of Program.
"All of this work is part of the
peace time program of the Red Cross
which bps already been adopted by
87 of the 224 chapters in the division.
"The reason for the increase in
the amount of money spent for the
relief of the families of soldiers, sail
.ors, and marines during August may
be found vei*y largely in the fact that
most of the able bodied men are dis
charged by this time and are able to
take care of their families themselves
Thoäe who remain are the men who
are still in hospitals and who can do
nothing for the persons dependent
upon them.
"Of course the significance of all
this is the emphasis it lends to the
need for the thorough establishment
of the Red Cross peace time program

for the relief of these families in Aug
ust—nearly a year after the ending
of the war—than we were during the
war itself, our work is far from com
pleted. It is for this reason that the
Third Annual Roll Call of the Red
Cross is being held Nevember 2 to 11.
The peace time program of the Red
Cross is just as urgently in need of
members and money as was the war
time program."
OPEOUSAS LOSES
TO CARENCRO BOYS
Local Basket Ball Team Suffers
Defeat at Hands of Cham
pion Lafayette Club
The Opelousas high school basket
ball team journeyed to Lafayette on
last Friday to engage the crack Car
o quintette in a championship
game. While Opelousas suffered
what looks somewhat like a severe
drubbing, the local boys, in Coaches
Mendoza's and Robert's opinion,show
ed up to much advantage. The
game resulted in a 20 to 4 victory in
favor of Carencro.
Carenoro has a fast team and the
members of the club, it is said, have
been playing together for two years,
while the Opelousas boys only recent
ly got together and began practicing.
The Opelousas coaches claim that in
a few months the local high school
will have one of the best basket ball
t|ams in this section, when they hope
to get their revenge on the winning
team of last week.
