RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTS NEXT WEEK.

A strenuous campaign to secure Red
Cross members will be begun next
week, and 1t is hoped that by Christ
mas Eve there will be two thousand
members of this great humanitarian
organization In Baraga county.
]. o. Maxey has been named head Of
the Baraga county membership COM
mittee. He will have charge Of the
drive, and will get in touch with the
heads of the branch chapters Of the
several townships and villages, and i'm
press on them the value of the drive.
Those persons who joined during the
year and paid their dues, presumably
for one year, will be asked to allow
their memberships to expire on De-
cember 3lst, SO that there will be less
bookkeeping required and so that all
drives for more members may be con-
Quoted at Christmas time in the future.
The coming drive will be for one dollar
and two dollar memberships only; the
latter will include subscription to
the Red Cross magazine for one year.
Commissioner of Schools S. 0. Clin-
ton has been appointed to take charge
of the school end of the work, and it
is expected that school teachers and
pupils throughout the county will CO
operate with him.
As regards the Red Cross money
raised in, this county one-half will be
used for aid to the soldiers on the bat
tie fields and in the base hospitals,
while the other half will remain in this
county for the purpose of relieving
sick and wounded soldiers who may re-
turn to their homes, and their depend
ent families.
Can you think of any more worthy
cause? Join the Red Cross!
