Default Red Cross charging for doughnuts

My father always hated the Red Cross for that. He told me about
their
charging, but I found it hard to believe. I know he was telling the
truth, but during war time etc. it just seemed unthinkable.


Again, the truth, but only part of the story...


My father decided that the Boy Scouts were worthless organization
because the local scoutmaster didn't know how to build a fire with
wood that had been rained on. Lot of people are quick to condemn a
whole organization for a single incident.
