Red Cross Enquiry
Bureau Traces Many
Missing Persons
Through the efforts of the Enquiry
Bureaus of the Canadian Red Cross
Society 430 missing persons were trac
ed in 1953. In 226 other cases com
pleted searching was unsuccessful.
Day after day letters, telegrams and
cables of hope and anxiety reach Red
Cross offices from coast-to-coast.
These messages are from many parts
of the world and
theme.
They are letters
ing people-friends,
tives, who have strayed aersss the
world in the aftermath and confusion
of World War II.
The Canadian Red Cross steps into
the picture through its Enquiry Bur
eau. This is a public service operated
with the hope that through its efforts
those who care are united and the
humanitarian aspect of life is again
confirmed.
In a year the Canadian Red Cross
Enquiry Bureau builds up interesting
statistics to tell its story and its little
known work.
Another phase of the bureau’s work
takes place when disasters occur in
any part o£ the world. Last year was
a year of disasters and the bureau
had increased problems. The floods in
the Netherlands and England, the
tornadoes in the United States and
Canada, the subway accident in Lon
don, England, and the earthquake in
the Ionian Islands meant the compil
ation of welfare reports for 781 cases.
