They 141 0 Set e By CORIENE PFAEFFLE It can't happen here . . . It HAS happened here! Now, we the students of today, must be pre- pared to face the worst. We must be prepared to face disaster when and if it strikes. In the event of disaster all Red Cross activities will center in George Wash- ington High School for this area. Symbolizing the important part the school will play in the darker, as well as the brighter hours, of community life, is a sign at the central entrance: RICHMOND-SEA CLIFF UNIT AMERICAN RED CROSS DISASTER RELIEF COMMISSION But the sign alone does not tell the story. Behind the sign are the faculty, the parent teachers' organi- zation and numerous other groups, who, for the present time, are walking behind the banner of the American Red Cross. The call to duty is answered in many ways. Typical of this is the sign on the door of our principal's home, Air Raid Warden. Among the services offered at the Sea Cliff Relief Center are rescue, first aid, surgery and medical care, relief, and child care. This relief center is manned by doctors, nurses, social-workers, teachers, and by your neighbors and friends. Among them is one Heavy Rescue Squad, using a rescue truck, manned by a dozen or more well trained men. On each alert signal at least six of these squadsmen respond to each district headquarters. During alerts the rescue truck, conveniently quartered nearby, is always brought to headquarters. Rescue has also five Light Rescue Squads of at least six men each, equipped with hand tools, axes, shovels, crowbars, handjacks, rope, stretchers, and blankets. The auxiliary ambulance crews take patients to emer- gency hospitals. 7 ere are two First Aid Station Teams, each consisting of at least twenty women trained in advanced First Aid. Only when hospitals can no longer handle the situation will the Disaster Relief Station's medical service be used, in which event' the Medical Aid Committee consisting of a large corps of volunteer doctors and registered nurses, well Sup- plied with equipment, surgical dressing, instruments, and so forth, will care for you. Although disaster may strike it also may leave many people unharmed physically but in need of help. If so, a social service work staff of professional workers and assistants will provide you with clothing, shelter, food and blankets, or any other emergency relief you may be in need of. A Missing Persons Bureau is pro- vided for persons who become separated from their families. Area couriers QROTC boysj assist in getting information concerning the safety and health of resi- dents of your district for the Welfare Inquiry De- partment. Professional and needed lay groups, organizations, schools, and P.-T.A.'s in the district have cooperated to make these units real communal responsibility. We all know that there is one army which has never admitted defeat. It has been on every battlefield in the world. It is the American Red Cross. They .Also Serve. I
