RED CROSS MARKS EIGHTY-FIRST YEAR | { | | | | | The Cambria County Chapter of | | the American Red Cross last week [ celebrated the 81st anniversary of | the signing of the Geneva treaty | which gave the Red Cross the sup- pert and protection of internation- al law, it was announced by EP Blough, chapter chairman. “The fundamental concept | the Red Cross has never been al- tered since that memorable Aug. {22 1864, 'Mr. Blough said. “Just | two years after Henri Durant had written his ‘Un Souvenir’ based on the horrors he had seen at the bat- tle of Solferino in 1859, and out- | lined a plan of humanitarian or- ganization throughout the world, he and his friends saw their idea | incarnated in the Geneva Confer- | ence. | “Here was the beginning of a | trend which has been known and | felt by millions of peopel through- | out the world,” he said. ‘Particu- of Os larly we, whose sons and sweet- hearts, sisters, brothers and dau- ghters are overseas, know, from their letters and notes, what this ‘bit of home abroad’ means to the lonely, the sick and wounded.” Although the Geneva treaty was revised in 1906 and in 1929, the essentials were contained in the original draft. They are: First: All establishments diers, and the personnel to them, are immune from capture and from acts of destruction other | than admissible under the rules of | warfare. Second: This special protection also covers such voluntary aid as may be performed by the civilian | population in favor of the wound- ed. Third: Sick and wounded sol- diers are received and treated with- out regard to the side upon which they have fought. Fourth: A heraldic emblem, the | red cross in a white field, is crea- ted for the distinguishing sign of hospitals, ambulances, transports, of wounded, and the personnel pro- tected under the terms of the ag- reement. In the year of its inauguration | nine states of the thirteen represented. By 1867, all the then great powers | had followed suit with the excep- | tion of the United States which | the treaty was ratified by did not adhere until fifteen years later. Since then all the world governments, with the exception of Japan, have become signotor- ies. All Right for Ice Cream.
