The San Francisco Earthquake and the
Refugees in Tents.
Can you tell about what happens during a flood? What work can the Red Cross do?
How does the Red Cross help the people whose homes have been destroyed by fire? Can you tell about the San Francisco earthquake in 1906?
The Explosion at Halifax in 1917.
Who were the first to send doctors and nurses, and medicine and food to the suffering people of Halifax?
Yes, the Red Cross. I think if the great Red Cross could be made into one picture it would be a picture of the good neighbor. The good neighbor takes what is needed to a neighbor who is hurt, or sick, or in need, and stays to do what can be done for the sufferer. Is that the kind of a picture you have in your mind of the Red Cross?
