3,004 pieces of furniture had been made by school children for Red Cross convalescent houses.
A fund of more than $10,000,000 had been raised by the Junior Red Cross before its first birthday.
Crop harvesting, berry picking, and gardening are some of the ways in which the 8,000,000 members saved money and made money for their country—for their United States.
HOW TO MAKE A RED CROSS EMBLEM
Red Cross Emblem
The cutting of a Red Cross emblem with one stroke of the scissors is a thing quite easy to master. Fold over a piece of paper six inches square until the lower left-hand corner meets the upper right-hand corner, and the paper forms a triangle measuring 8 × 6 × 6 inches. With the longest side toward you, fold the lower right-hand point until it rests on the lower left-hand point, making a triangle 6 × 4¼ × 4¼ inches. Repeat the process, making a triangle 4¼ × 3 × 3 inches. From the point marked A in the illustration measure one inch toward B. From this point draw a line parallel with the fold marked A—C. Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut along this line, unfold the paper and you will have a perfect cross. For emblems varying in size merely increase or decrease the measurements.
