CAMPAIGN
To Make Every Mason County Home
on ~An American Home To
Start December 10.

|
EVERY American Home Red
Cross Home," Is the slogan for the
Red Cross membership drive which
will be conducted in Maysville and
vicinity December 16 to "a as part
OF the nationwide campaign to Sc
cure 100000 members for 1918.
The executive committee recently
I appointed by the Mason county chap
ter Of the American Red Cross to
conduct the campaign met yesterday
and outlined plans for the drive.
1t is planned to make house-to-
house canvass and to do this work a
team Of workers will be placed in ev-
cry voting precinct in the city.
The workers will start their solici-
tation on December 16 and make re-
ports of their days work to the Cham
ber Of Commerce every evening. The
results will be announced on the
moving picture shows and in the
newspapers.
Throughout the campaign the mer-
chants will be urged to dress their
windows in red and white, symbolic
of the Red Cross, and use the Red
Cross in decorations throughout their
stores as much as possible. Ministers
will be asked to preach sermons urg-
ing their members to join the Red
Cross.
An effort will be expended to secure
as many memberships as possible in
every household. A Red Cross SER
vice flag will be given to each home
in which ut least one member is se-
cured, This flag will contain one
large Red Cross in the center and fol
each additional member in that house.
hold smaller Red Cross will be add.
ed. Thus the service flag will indi
cate the number of Red Cross mem
bers In the family Just like the stars
on the army service flags now indi
cate the number of members of the
family who. have entered the service
of Uncle Sam.
Then to every family, all Of whose
members become affiliated with tn,
Red Cross, large white star will b.
placed over the Red Cross in the cen
ter Of the flag, indicating an "All
American Home"
i 4 The idea hwich is to be paramount
In the minds of the workers. ant
which they are to convey to th'
to~nspeople is not alone the spirit o
patriotism. but that the spirit Of tn
Red Cross and the spirit of Christma
are so closely allied that they are il
reality one and the same. To this ent
the campaign will close on christina
eve with a solemn celebration.
To the chapter in the Lake division
comprising Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucky, which secures the largest pc
centage of membership based on tn,
community's population some recog
milton will be given. Maysyille vii
