structions from tho county board OF
public instruction, all OF the principals
and teachers in the public schools OF
the county devoted the entire school
day to eniightening the school children
of the county upon purpose and ac-
tiyities of the Red Cross. In all OF
the city schools addresses were made
to the pupils by specially selected
speakers who have placed themselves
at the disposal OF the executive COM
mittee.
To-day has been set aside as wo-
mans day, and will doubtless prove
the banner day of the campaign. At
three o'clock this afternoon, at the
armory (not at the post office as has
been previously announced in error)
q parade of the women OF the Red
Cross and all of their sisters who are
in sympathy with the great work OF
the Red Cross. whether they have
not. are going TO form themselves into
a parade. which will proceed from tho
point of formation up Palafox street TO
Wright street: thence south on the
west side of Palafox street to Gov
ernment street at the post office.
thence north on the east side Of Pal
afox street to the armory, where ths
parade will dsband. Both the Bar
rsncas and Aeronautic Station bands
have been secured for use in the pa
rade.
Have you a dollar and a heart"
has been adopted as the slogan of this
great nationwide membership cam
paign. And n most appropriate slogan
it is too.
II the reader OF these lines has "a
dollar and a heart he or she should
require no appeal to become a member
of the Red Cross. And the results
which are being attained in Pensacola
in the campaign are proving the fact
that the men and women, and boys
and girls, of Pensacola who have "a
dollar and Il heart are requiring no
importuning to become members of
the organization.
But there are lots OF people in
Pensacola who haven't n dollar, but
they have a heart With these the
Red Cross sympathizes. and to netp
such as these, in the big organized ma
tional way, is one of the undertake
ings Of the Red Cross.
Also in Pensacola, as is so in other
places, there are some folks who
have dollars, lots of them, but they
haven't a heart. with such as these
neither the Red Cross, nor any other
organization has any
sympathy. They are dollar slack
ers," and dollar siackers, whether they
live in Pensacola, or somewhere else,
are contemplate folk.
"Have you dollar and a heart?"
Yes
And you want to be server and
not q Stacker? Sure.
Then start in today Let your
dollar take you to one OF the Red Cross
membership booths (theres one at the
post office. one at the San Carlos
Hotel, one at the Imperial Cigar
Store and one at campaign head
quarters in the old National Bank of
