Only the finishing touches remain. for
the broad plans IN preparation for the
final weeks drive are thoroughly ma
tured and under way.
Sunday. June II. is Bunker Hill day
by historical right. This year it will
become RED Cross Sunday" as well.
For on that day the clergy of the ma
tion of all denominations will lift a
united voice in appeal for the hearty
support of the Red Cross. And on the
Sunday following, just at the close Of
the week of money gathering, the
churches will take up their Red Cross
collection to round out the fund.
The plan followed is similar in all
