The annual drive for the sale OF
Red Cross seals begins today and the /
children are busy soliciting for the (
cause. Outside of the hospital work /
for the army and navy, there is no
more commendable cause before the
American people today than the
special work 10 which the sales from
the Red Cross seals is devoted, the
gradual elimination OF the white
scourge. tuberculosis Notwithstand-
ing the numerous calls upon the resi-
dents of Bennington because OF the
war, there should be the same ready
response that has characterized the
Red Cross seal sale here in previous
years.
