RED caoss NOTES.

"The entrance of our own beloved
country into the grim and terrible
war for democracy and human rights,
which has shaken the world, creates
many problems of national life and
action"
Universal service is the sovereign
will of the American people at this
time-a privilege that can be denied
to none. The million armed men who
were to spring up over night have
proved visionary-but one hundred
million have shown themselves ready
for service. In many ways women
have proven themselves more useful
to the nation than men. Women do
their eight hours day in the home,
shop or factory and find time to help
clothe the army and navy and assist
In Red Cross work.
Join the American Red Cross and
do your bit for the men who are fight
ing that you may remain at home! You
do not have to nurse nor sew unless
you are able and willing. 1t is your
duty to lend cooperation to those who
can do either and make the work ef'
fective. Help to raise the member
ship of the Auxiliary to 500 and gel
the benefit and privileges OF Q chap
ter.
