Your Red Cross!! What It Is
By Sheldon Bergeson
ARC Field Director
The question is sometimes ask-
ed, “How can the Red Cross af-
ford a large enough staff to carry
out all its programs?” The answer
would be somewhat as follows:
“By recruiting and training large
numbers of qualified volunteers.”
There are approximately two mil-
lion of these volunteers serving
annually in Red Cross activities.
Thousands receive special train-
ing for their Red Cross jobs, in-
cluding volunteer field staff and
volunteers in administrative jobs.
Very important people — that’s
what volunteers are to the Ameri-
can National Red Cross. Serving
in every area of the organization,
volunteers make it possible for
the Red Cross to accomplish its
mission.
The ratio of volunteers to career
staff is about 155 to 1. Volunteers
comprise the membership of the
National Board of Governors as
well as that of local chapter
boards. They serve as national
and local fund chairman and vice
chairmen, planning and conduct-
ing campaigns for members and
funds. They provide the leader-
ship of service programs and
serve as instructors in home nurs-
ing, swimming, life saving, first
aid and other training courses.
Most people have heard of the
outstanding contribution made
by volunteers such as Gray
Ladies, Nurses Aides, Staff Aid-
es, Motor Service Drivers, Can-
teen Workers, and Social Wel-
fare Aides. Less well known is the
part volunteers play in the care
of the aged people in nursing
homes and in the care of the
mentally ill. The latter services
are among those included in the
greatly expanded programs for
volunteers in Red Cross.
Of the 3,700 organized Red
Cross chapters in the United
States, 1,500 of them are operated
entirely by volunteers, with no
paid staff whatever. Volunteers
serve in at least 600 federal hos-
pitals. They now are serving in
approximately 7,000 community
and state hospitals, including men-
tal hospitals, and last year they
gave service to their communities
through 9,700 other agencies.

Accident And Bridge
Share OWC Spotlight
Marilyn Nielsen’s unfortunate
accident on Sunday, September 24
has aroused the concern of her
innumerable friends and acquain-
tances. Mrs. R. B. Moore and a
bevy of the other officer’s wives
have kept a constant stream of
anxious visitors at her side. Chap-
lain Nielsen reports that Marilyn
is progressing slowly despite all
the pain she has endured. Our
most sincere wishes for a quick
recovery are extended by all the
OWC members.
Charles Goren wasn’t present,
but twelve other equally eager
and competent bridge players met
Wednesday, September 27 in the
Reading Room of the club for the
monthly bridge session.

What It Does
U. S. Naval Station, Keflavik,
Iecland. What had been going on
here? Records of volunteer ac-
tivities show that 24 different
served in the local hospital as
Gray Ladies and ran up an im-
pressive total of 917 hours dur-
ing the past twelve months. In
addition, several volunteers as-
sisted in teauhing swimming and
life saving to the young people
of the station, and, in the shcools,
the Principals and some of the
teachers gave of their time in
sponsoring Junior Red Cross ac-
tivities.
Many of the volunteers who
served so well in recent months
have left us and returned to the
United States. It has become nec-
essary, therefore, to recruit and
train additional people to continue
the expected service. To meet the
challenge a new group of women
are currently participating in a
12 hour Gray Lady orientation
and training program. Upon com-
pletion of the course they will be
assigned to the wards and clinics
in the hospital to serve as needed.
The training began October 5 and
is scheduled to end on Thursday,
October 12.
Six additional stained-glass windows were unveiled at
a recent ceremony at the Station Chapel. Rear Admiral
Robert B. Moore, USN, Commander Iceland Defense Forces,
Capt. William R. Meyer, Naval Station Commander and
Chaplain (Cdr) Warren L. Wolf, Station Chaplain, officiat-
ed at the dedication.
The windows were sponsored by®
the following groups: Barracks I Eight AF Officers
Prayer Group; NCO Wives Club;
Naval Security Group; Iceland
Defense Force NATO; and U.S.
Naval Station Keflavik.
Previous sponsors were: The
Northern Lights Masonic Club;
1400th Air Base Squadron; 1971st
A ACS Squadron; 1400th Trans-
portation Squadron and the Civil-
ian personnel of the Civil Engin-
eering Squadron whose dedication
was “In memory of Charles G.
Brainard and Frank L. Corne-
lius.”
The unveiling of these last win-
dows makes a total of fifteen in-
stalled in the Keflavik Interna-
tional Airport within a period of
seven months.
Chaplain (Capt.) Luther M.
Neilsen was project officer for
this program.
