family, D. T. Mclver, has been ap-
pointed general manager of Free-
port Sulphur Company. lie will
supervise the company's mines in
Texas and Louisiana, now produc-
ing at top speed to meet America's

Cotton Quota Reflects
Attitude Of Farmers
Seriousness with which Texas
tanners are tackling the Food-For-
Freedom campaign is reflected in the
recent cotton marketing quota vote,
according to B. F. Vance, Chairman
jf the Texas USD A defense board.
Incomplete returns tabulated in
ihe state AAA office indicate Texas
COttOn farmers have approved quotas
tor the fifth consecutive year bv poll-
ing an 89.4 percent favorable vote.
The national vote shows approxi-
mately 94 percent in favor of quotas.
"Texas farmers realize they must
have balanced prouction to meet their
Food-For-Freedom goals," Vance de-
dared in pointing out that restrictions
n the number of acres planted to
tot-ton would release additional acres
for food and feed for livestock in the
all our defense effort.
Twenty-one Texas counties ap-
I roved quotas without a dissenting
vote while only four counties failed
to poll the required two-thirds ma-
jority, the chairman said.
" With all we have at stake in
this war we're in. we cannot fail In
rhe task we've undertaken. Just as
our armed forces must not underesti-
mate the enemy, so farmers must not
underestimate the job they have to
do," Vance said. "! believe the mark-
eting quota vote is poof that cotton
farmers understand the situ a ion and
mend to do their part."
Red Cross Mobilizing For
Wartime Operations
As its 3,700 chapters climb stead-
S toward attainment of the Red
os# $50,000,000 war fund for as-
sistance to the armed forces and the
home'defense operations, the Ameri-
can Red Craw is mobilizing swiftly
W0^k
Number one task facing the lied
Cross, according to William Baxter,
Jr. of St. Louis, the organisation's
Midwestern area manager, is fulfill-
ment of the Congressionally charter-
ed obligation to men of the armed
forces and their families.
"Wartime emergency is requiring
unprecedented expansion of the Red
Cross military warfare services vast-
ly greater than during the past two
years of national preparedness", the
executive said, in outlining the var-
ious. needs of service men which the
Red Cross is meeting.
One of these, he said, is assisting
in the solution of personal problems
which cause worry and thereby un-
dermine morale. The man away from
home, conforming to military re-
strictions and regulations, might at
times feel quite upset at getting bad
news from home. It is then he needs
a staunch and understanding friend
with whom he can be confidential, a
friend to whom he can tell his troub-
les, to whom he can turn for advice
and assistance.
"He has that kind of friend in the
Red Cross field director. These Red
Cross workers are located in all the
army and navy stations, hospitals and
training camps, specially schooled for
giving this personal assistance. They
go where the men go, on maneuvers,
on the fighting fronts."
Baxter said that field staffs, con-
siderably expanded in the past two
years to meet increased needs of the
growing armed forces, now number
more than 250 field directors and
assistant directors, who handle prob-
lems of the able-bodied, while about
200 professionally trained women
;ie engaged in Red Cross activities in
army and navy hospitals. Working
together with the field staffs are
trained home service workers in Red
Cross chapters in the men's home
communities throughout the country,
he said-
"A service man's personal prob-
lems can be many and varied", Baxt-
er pointed out. "Serious illnesses and
deaths in the family back home, and
financial troubles cause the most
frequent requests.'
He outlined a typical case. "A sol-
dier stationed at a training camp re-
ceives a wire or letter reporting his
■ mother, or father, or wife seriously
ill at home, possibly hundeds of miles
away. He considers going home, ap-
plies to his commanding officer for a
furlough, and together they present
the problem to the camp's Red Cross
field director. The director wires the
chapter in the soldier's home town.
"A chaptter representative, who is
a trained home service worker, visits
tre family home, also calling on the
attending physician. The physician
report on the sick person's condition
is obtained. If the seriousness of the
case warrants, military authorities
will, upon receiving verification from
rhe chapter, grant an emergency fur-
lough.
"The Red Cross field director
the soldier money for transportation
home if needed, helps him arrange
transportation schedules, does every-
thing possible to speed his trip home.
"Quite frequently a chapter visit
to the home discloses the illness to be
not as serious as first believed, and
the soldier is saved the expense of a
trip home, and his mind freed of
what/

the Red Cross is responsible for furn-
ishing family reports needed by the
military authorttes to determine it'
furloughs can be granted for emerg-
encies."
Baxter said the Red Cross, through
its field directors and chapters will
properly advise men or their families
in financial difficulties; make loans
it necessary; on request of command-
ing officers, furnish confidential Red
Cross reports where an application
for discarge from service on the
grounds of dependency is involved;
assist members of the family to ob-
tain employmet, arrange for material
relief, obtain medical-social informa-
tion for medicai authorities in army
and navy, act as a liaison between
the man and his family in all matters
involving his own or their personal
welfare.
For service men in hospitals of the
army and navy, Baxter said, the Red
Cross also maintains a program of
medicaUsocial casework, and provid-
es recreation for convalescents. Vol-
unteers from nearby chapters assist
in this work.
Other services of the armed forces,
conducted on a nation-wide basis, in-
clude enrollment of medical technol-
ogists, trained nurses, blood donors
for the blood plasma reservoir, the
furnishing of surgical dressings pro-
duced by volunteers, and the supply-
i:.g of recreation equipment to army
'-'imps and naval stations.
"Many chapters", Baxter said,
"have been swamped recently with
requests from relatives or friends to
issist in obtaining ^-formation about
I'. S. fighters or civilians in the Pa-
ific war zone.
"Theres little the Red Cross can
!(> at present to furnish information
about men in service. The army and
:avy, for obvious reasons, cannot af-
ford to divulge such information as
might be useful to the enemy. How-
ever, a number of Red Cross inquir-
ies about civilians in the war zone
have been successfully handled. Ef-
fots are being made to improve this
service, now slow and uncertain, due
partly to military priority to tele-
graphic and cable sevices, and partly
to shifting of populations in the
bombed areas. Before approachriient
of Red Cross chapters, inquirers who
are seekig information about civilians
are urged first to try the existing
means of communication."
Months before the Pearl Harbor
attack, the Hawaiian Red Cross rad
set up first aid stations, accumulated
reserve stocks of clohting, medical
■sitppplies and food for handling any
emergencies likely to be caused by
bombing attacks and resulting mass
evacuation of civilians- Similiar prep-
aration had been made in the Manila
area by the Philippine Red Cross.
"In Honolulu", Bxter said, "Red
Cross first aiders, doctors and nurses
were at their posts in first aid sta-
tions set up by the Hawaiian chapter.
While the $50,000,000 war fud is
to be used for the wartime expansion
of services to the armed forces, Baxt-
er pointed out that it also must be
used to meet the oganization's ex-
panded needs in home nursing, first
aid, disaster preparedness, and pro-
duction of garments and surgical
dressings; and for food, shelter and

Aid U. S. By Using Old Flashlights
In Blackouts, Urges Henderso#
Vf ILLIONS of flashlights, now
*** lying around in American
homes, can be put to work in the
event of blackouts, thus relieving:
the drain which the purchase of
new lights would place oh critical
metals and plastics, according to
Leon Henderson, Director of the
Division of Civilian Supply, Office
of Production Management.
Disturbed by reports that thou-
sands of Americans are trying to
buy new flashlights, Mr. Hender-
son has obtained a survey which
shows that a large majority of
families need not fear being with-
out illumination in the event of
blackouts.
Seventy per cent of families in
the United States, the survey dis-
I closes, now have one or' more
f flashlights. Forty per cent of fam-
j ilies have flashlights which are in
I perfect condition, ready for ser-
vice at a moment's notice. An-
! other 23 per cent have lights
! which can be made usable merely
: by the purchase of fresh batterJ
ies. Seven per cent of all families
have inoperative flashlights, many
! of which need only minor repairs
: in order to give excellent service.
"The -demand for new flash-
lights can be greatly lessened," Mr.
1 Henderson points out, "by a
1 thorough attic-cellar search.
Every flashlight recovered and re-
conditioned represents an im-
portant saving of materials need-
K

ed in our huge war effort Left
conserve these materials ty put-
ting' our millions of old flashlights
