TO THE PEOPLE
OF ELKO COUNTY
DIV. fall

The Elko County Red Cross chapter
is now actively engaged in making
hospital garments, dressings, band
ages. etc, for the benefit OF our
wounded soldiers. The only available
funds for the purchase of material for
these supplies is one half of the an.
nual membership dues. This amounts
TO fifty cents for each member. The
chapter has already expended this en-.
tire fund in the purchase of material,
and the new membership applications
are so few that they do not anywhere
near meet the requirements. 1t is.
therefore. necessary TO provide some
means for raising enough money TO
enable the chapter to keep an ample
supply OF material on hand for its
regular work. We estimate that at
least $4,000 month is necessary for
this purpose.
The personal voluntary monthly
subscription plan has been decided
upon as the means for raising thi!
money. Just as soon as you have reat
this notice make up your mind how
much you can give each month, send II
at once to the chapter secretary, Mrs
Charles B. Henderson, Elko, Nevada
