DALLAS (AP) — The American
Red Cross, remembering the tor
nado last year that killed 37 people
and injured more than 110 in a West
Texas city, is preparing for another
natural disaster by boosting its vol
unteer staff to 1,400.
“We were frightened,” Gail Bar
ron, spokesman for the Dallas chap
ter of the Red Cross, said of the Sa-
ragosa twister. “If a tornado came
into our area, we would be under
staffed.”
So, instead of waiting for another
calamity, the chapter has launched a
recruitment drive to quadruple its
volunteer ranks.
The chapter has about 350 volun
teers on call during disasters to run
emergency shelters, operate food
trucks and kitchens, counsel victims,
assess property damage and per
form other duties.
That number is 1,050 volunteers
short of what the organization is
shooting for in the recruitment
drive.
Red Cross officials told the Dallas
Times Herald Sunday they deter
mined the need for 1,400 by multi
plying the number of people needed
to operate a shelter during a less se
rious emergency by the number of
shelters needed in a catastrophe.
“We are not in a crisis,” Dan Wag
ner, director of the chapter’s disaster
services, said. “We just want to feel
that we have enough volunteers to
handle a crisis.”
The closest the chapter has come
to a crisis was last February when a
fire in Oaklawn burned down 48
units of an apartment complex, leav
ing 140 people homeless.
Wagner said volunteers — mostly
retired people, homemakers and
business owners — helped victims
find food and shelter, distributed
blankets and later replace clothes,
furniture and other things.
Janice Gardner, a bank teller who
volunteers as a cook with the Red
Cross, said she gets personal satisfac
tion out of helping others in sticky
situations.
Gardner, who grew up in a poor
neighborhood in New York City’s
Harlem, knows what it’s like to not to
have all the necessities in life.
“I get a natural high knowing I
can do something to help someone
else,” she said.

♦ LOST AND FOUND
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
Nursing schools and hospitals must
be innovative these days to get
enough recruits as women turn from
what has been a traditional occupa
tion to highly paid professional
fields that have better hours.
“The nursing shortage we have
now is going to get worse as people
seek other forms of employment,”
said Peri Rosenfeld, director of re
search for the National League for
Nursing. “It’s a big crisis.

“We have no hints there’s going to
be a change in the perception of
nursing,” Rosenfeld said. “We live in
a society that is materialistic and
money conscious and people aren’t
looking into nursing or helping pro
fessions.”
Nationwide, the number of stu
dents enrolled in nursing programs
Just two years ago, the University
of Texas at Arlington had a waiting
list for its program. In fall 1987, 332
students were enrolled — about 130
under capacity. Students are ac
cepted into the program in their ju
nior year and must maintain a mini
mum grade-point average of 2.5.
The university is allowing some
students with averages as low as 2.3
to enroll part time until they im
prove their grades.

A business involving the selling of
an adhesive skin “patch" that is
claimed to be effective against a wide
range of ailments has mushroomed
recently in Texas.
Margaret Wilson of the Public
Health Promotion Division of the
Texas Department of Health said
the skin patch is a bogus product
that is not proven effective.
“The skin patches are a type of
adhesive gauze patch supplied with a
small vial that contains a liquid al
leged to be effective against a wide
range of ailments,” Wilson said.
“The liquid in the vial is often rub
bing alcohol, a mixture of herbs or
water.”
Manufacturers of the product say
the skin patch can be applied to any
part of the body and be effective.
