Red Cross Launches Second Home and Farm Accident Drive
Caroline County Red Cross through its Home and Farm Accident Prevention Committee led by Mrs. Mattie M. Smith distributed 2,685 home inspection blanks to school children to identify hazards. Children urged parents to inspect and fix dangers, aiming to reduce accidents and death toll in 1951 through community cooperation.
