I - THE FOUNDER OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS By GEORGE SHAFFER It was a woman who opened the eyes of America to the idea of founding a Red Cross to help its suffering people. How- ever, it took a war to show America the great need of a Red Cross. . As the Civil War broke out, it found Clara Barton, a young lady from Massachu- setts, working as a nurse in a Washington hospital. She worked long and tiresome hours tending the wounded. Miss Barton saw the needtof a nurse at the firing lines was essential, and volunteered for the job. This determined lady fought desperately to get permission to go to the battlefields, and when permission was granted her, she lost no time in getting her equipment to- gether. ln August, the year of 1826, Miss Barton descended on her first battlefield, during the battle of Cedar Mountain. As the war continued more helpers came to the aid of Clara Barton, who was doing a marvelous job. She never left a battlefield until the last wounded man was cared for, although he wore the'Northern Blue or the Confederate Gray. After the Civil War, Miss Barton went to Europe, where she worked and studied their Red Cross, and finally after nine years she persuaded the United States to sign the Red Cross Agreement. Also, Miss Bar- ton made the American Amendment, which stated to help people in need of care and not only wartime victims. Clara Barton's ninetieth birthday was a happy one, but her last. For she died later in the year on April 12, 1912, two years before the first World War. The great work of the American National Red Cross during World Wars I and ll is a fitting monument to Clara Barton. THOUGHTS OF A SOLDIER ly Gnoncmn slum: A young lad, about nineteen years ot age, lay in a hospital bed staring into the empty space. He remembered that he had been hovering between life and death a few days ago, but through the efforts of doctors and nurses he had pulled through. He had a lot. of time now to think about what he was fighting, and almost died for. He thought maybe it was for his parents, they had done so much for him. Raised him with fervent love. They had dreamed and saved every spare penny in order that he might go to college. Their dreams had been .shattered like many other parents' by that horrible menace, war. Maybe he was fighting for the cute little trick that lived down the street. He remembered the swell time they had had together, sipping sodas at the corner drug store, and cutting a mean rug to the latest tunes on the juke- box. Still, it might be fore those thrilling football games, having snow fights, munch- ing on a big juicy hot dog, Sunday after- noon picnics, or those brisk hikes in the country. Surely those things he had loved and wanted to preserve. However, th real reason he was fighting was that he and all the other little guys in the world may walk down the street, undisturbed by harassing bullies near by. That everyone may have just what is said in our Pledge of Allegi- ance- Liberty and Iustice for all. The young fellow dropped off to sleep, confi- dent that tomorrow's world would bring Peace on earth, good will towards men. DID HE DIE IN VAIN? By MARILYN Mor-in A spark of light could be seen as a lap bullet whizzed in the air. There was a ghastly quiet for a moment and then a groan. The bullet hit its mark. The kid turned over, clutching his side and gasping for breath. Blood soaked his shirt, and as he lay there a prayer formed on his lips. A prayer that he was not dying in vain and that in years to come kids his age would have the freedom they so rightly deserved. The freedom that was dear enough to thou- sands of men to give their life for. . Let's prove to these men who every min- ute, every second, are dying on the far- flung battlefields of the world, that the blood they are shedding is not in vain, and that in giving their lives for the children of America it will become better than ever before.
