FOURTH DAY OF GREAT RED
CROSS DRIVE.
NEXT IS WOMEN'S DAY

WORKING TEAMS.
Citizens Giving in Generous Way To-
ward the Work of Humanity;
"Give Until 1t Hurts" Slogan.

The home stretch of the Red Cross
campaign in Ell Centre will call forth
intensive effort if this citys share Of
the national Red Cross fund is to be
raised before Monday.
A total of approximately 81 400 has
teen raised up to noon. OF the $15,-
coo apportioned to the valley, Ca
lexco has undertaken to raise $4,000,
and the other valley cities, coming
within the jurisdiction of the Imperial
County chapter, must raise $4,000.
Brawley, Imperial and Holtville have
raised but little and it appears that
FL Centre must exceed the $4,000
mark. She is far below this at pres
ent.
"Many persons approached by the
teams have been in doubt as to how
much to give," said A l.. Richmond,
chairman of the campaign committee
this morning. ''The Pacific division
have sent us bulletins on this matter
and the measure seems to be what
ever any person can afford. Give un-
Ill it hurts and Whatever you intend
TO give, give more,' are some of the
phrases used But that there may
be something more definite, the cam
paign committee has expressed its be-
lief that every patriotic American in
Fl Centre and Imperial Valley should
give the equivalent of weeks sal
ary. 1t is not necessary to pay all
at once. Pledges to ray one-quarter
on July / and a quarter each month
FOR three months thereafter are as
acceptable as cash. Give a weeks
| sslafy--iet that be the measure. Only
By more generous contributions can
ii Centre and the valley be saved
from the shame of reporting fail
ure"
