 for Those Injured in War

Giving to the Red Cross only what you well can afford is not real giving: one must give until it hurts" declared Judge Richard Sloan last night at the meeting of the local Red Cross chapter at the Jefferson hotel roof garden pre- liminarv to the campaign which starts at o'clock this morning to raise $25,- 0OO in Phoenix and vicinity for the Ma tional Red Cross
 Two hundred men and women faced John D. Loper last night when the chairman of the local Red Cross chap ter stated the purposes of the gather ing. They were familiar faces. de- clared Governor Campbell, one of the sneakers who was called upon by MT Loper
 T see the same faces" said the gov ernor, the familiar ones when any worthy project of this kind is brought up. One of the first things that should be done is to bring in some new faces to reach out and bring everyone to as- sist in financial aid to the National Red Cross. We should get out among the people who are not feeling this war, to reach beyond our own com munity. We need everyone in this work.
 One great difficulty find in raising funds for this sort of a project is that there are too few people trying to do too much. They are getting there but not with the enthusiasm that is needed. This sort of giving is the big gest kind of thing. The Liberty Loan was fine thing and done in a splendid manner, but it was an investment Right now l read that the bonds are quoted at 102. One cannot feel the i'm pulse of patriotism in making an in vestment.
 T hope we will be called upon to make a sacrifice, for in that way we will have the war brought home to us Without getting hurt we cannot be brought to feel that We are in this great worlds war. We all know of the necessity of this money we are going to raise. The president has asked for S100 100000 of which amount Arizona is put down for S100 900. It will be an easy matter. We must concentrate our energies and efforts this week, and for this purpose, I 1ffer this slogan: For the Red Cross Come Across
 T feel as Judge Sloan does, that it is not req giving unless there is some sacrifice. These who have the least to
 
 the giving. Show the people the nec- essity of the giving and I believe the full amount will be raised in the al lotted time. will help you in any way I can"
 Judge Sloan laid emphasis upon the statement ttat praiseWorthy giving should hurt a little
 Estimate what you can afford to give and then double that amount" said Judge Sloan. T shall apply that rule to myself. We should make up our minds that this is to be long war, don't believe it will end this year The full amount needed by the Red Cross will be easily raised if we give all we can. and a little more"
 Other speakers were Roy Goodrich, Rev. Ray Harker and Dwight B. Heard. Volunteer organizations are generally reputed not to be efficient declared MT. Heard. but it has been the history of the Red Cross. he declared, that it has been most efficient Especially in Maricopa county he said had volunteer organizations proved to be first class in every respect. MT Heard called for team work during the coming week and felt certain success would follow.

 Our greatest need is workers" de- clared Mir. Loper. If we can get the people we will have little trouble in getting the money"
