Where Roumania is strong. It is the peasant women and men in which Roumania places her high hopes, for a regenerated nationalism. This is a type of the Transylvanian peasant woman. For five years she has taken a man's place in the field, workshop and factories. And her child does not show any neglect at that. American Red Cross workers in this district say that with a continuance of medical relief Roumania will soon regain her feet

Peasants of Roumania war costumes resembling ancient Roman garb. Throughout Roumania the peasant men wear a costume that is a relic of the old Roman days. During the Roman occupation of this section of Europe, when the country was known as Dacia, the people of the region gained their first knowledge of Latin and also picked up a number of Roman customs. The skirt-like garb of the Roumanian peasant men today is a relic of the ancient Roman tunic. The trousers they wear are made of heavy white unbleached wool. In a long days journey through Roumania, you will probably never see one of these costumes that is not spotless white. In the winter time a heavily padded vest, usually beautifully embroidered, is worn in preference to the European style coat. It is in such populations as these thrifty Roumanian villagers that the American Red Cross, with its commission to Roumania, has made many new friends during the past winter by distibuting drugs and clothing to the needy

Rumania's popular queen. Queen Marie of Roumania and Roumanian war orphans supported by American Red Cross, Bucharest.

Typical Transylvanian peasant children. The flowers they hold were gathered to present to the A.R.C. workers as they passed in their car to distribute medical relief to the people in the remote district. Generally the Roumanian types of womanhood are the most beautiful to be found anywhere in Europe. Their skins are clear. Their features regular and eyes jet black

Women of the Balkans. A typical group of women from the mountain district of Serbia. They are taking a sun bath on the side of the American Red Cross station at Batch while waiting for the distribution of relief supplies. Note their aprons and similarity of dress. The aprons are made of coarse handspun wool with fine red and white stripes. The jackets are the native costume of the village from which they come. They hav ewalked many miles for Red Cross supplies. Several of them are barefoot and none have stockings

Bobbed hair has caught the youth of Roumania and jazz music was not far behind. Here is an aristocratic maid in peasant costume at a wayside resort in Roumania In Europe hotel porters are powerful friends or enemies. The kodak made friends with this czar at the palace hotel in Sinaia ; In the market place of Bucharest care is taken to weigh out articles sold.

Near the city of Doboj, Bosnia is the Doboj North Bridge that has been rebuilt by the Romanian Engineer detachment stationed there as part of Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR. It is Guarded by a Romanian Armored Personnel Carrier before the offical opening ceremony. It will allow easier vehicular traffic access throughout the surrounding area. Beginning in December, 1995, US and allied nations deployed peacekeeping forces to Bosnia in support of JOINT ENDEAVOR. Romania is one fourteen Partnership for Peace (PfP) countries that participated in the NATO lead peace mission that includes providing a safe environment

The old folks at home. This is the type of people that stand for all that is best in Roumanian life. They are peasants of a great rolling grain country and have worked on the soil since childhood. It is this type of Balkans people to whom the American Red Cross aid was extended
