The Red Cross finance committee Is
satisfied with the success of it's plan of
Sin memoriam' gifts for this week. but
suggests that they NJ sed not stop, but may
be sent at any time. Chairman Mac
fariand repeated tod ty that there could
be no more acceptable memorial of those
who have gone than to link them up in
tthe living ministry to Fhe suffering of to-
|fday through the Reda Cross. nor could
|}there be any better way of honoring de-
parted public servants.
T Besides the ''in meE 1oriam' and other
|gifts announced today. were the reports
iof the opening Of a nhmber Of the Red
|$Cross silver offering bo Ses, which are To-
|icated In many public taces for the con-
ltvenence of those who icannot give more
I1than silver change.
