PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Governor
Attest:
W. T. DOUGHERTY,
Secretary of State.

a nation wide Christmas drive for
membership has been planned by the
American Red Cross. The campaign
will have for its objective the addition
of 100000 names to the present Red
Cross muster roll, and it confidently is
expected that it will be attained. The
campaign will start on December II,
and continue until Christmas eve. 1t
seems certain to arouse an interest of
an unprecedented character.
At conference at the national head
quarters at Washington, attended by
representatives from all of the thir-
teen Red Cross. divisions in the United
States. details of the campaign were
agreed upon. subject to such modifi-
cations or amplifications as may be
deemed necessary to meet conditions
in different cities or districts. There
are about three thousand Red Cross
Chapters in the United States. and
each chapter under the direction of
a local chairman will start its part of
the drive at dawn on December II.
Doubtless there will be great zest in
the rivalry of the various chapters to
make a showing at the finish.
Make this a Red Cross Christmas"
will be slogan heard from one end of
the land to the other. AS this win be
Americas first Christmas in the world
war, 1t is felt that the spirit of the sea-
son needs only the Red Cross sug-
gestion to add gloriously to the work
which is to be done with respect to
caring for our soldiers. and in reliev-
ding war distress in all its forms.
