Red Cross Campaign On.

Red Cross Campaign On.
This is Red Cross week, when a special
appeal is made for a hundred million
dollar war fund In Grafton the par
ticular form of the appeal is Tor more
members. If each member will get one
or more new members he will be helping
his country as surely as by giving more
money himself. There are already %
paid members, which is fine showing. 1t
is hoped to double that number this week.
Some of the young men in town have
been heard to say: IF ! am chosen ~
the selcctive draft I am ready to go.
That, in other words. means. II am ready
to give my life for my country All IN
this far easier way may show that same
spirit. 1t is particularly requested that
each member wear his Red Cross button
during the week
The following is an extract from let
ter from Hon John Barrett, who Is now
member of the Grafton auxiliary:
Il am quite thrilled with what Graf
ton is doing in the matter OF the Red
Cross shall Immediately bring it to the
attention of the Red Cross authorities in
| Washington that they may know what
a little but patriotic town IN the Green
mountains can do.
/ 4 am gratiGed beyond measure to find
4 the way my native town responds to It's
4 war responsibilities and opportunities, and
my friends in Washington appear actually
interested and say that such cooperation
shows the mettle of the men and women
of Vermont"
