CONS most prominent women-thous-
ands of them are devoting practically
full time to the campaign, regardless
of personal saerifice-believe it will
be done.
Very soon the story will be told
Red Cross week begins June ls, ends
June 25, IT, short days the state
generally must raise $s5,9l4 a day,
$lO,475 for each hour of an S-bour
working day.
It will be done. The task is great,
but Oregon's willingness is greater.
Never has Oregon failed in full re-
sponse to the appeal to generosity and
now the Universal Service of Mercy
pleads.
The president of the United States
proclaims Red Cross Week and asks in
behalf of the nation at war that the
$l00000,000 be given. The wounds
and agony awaiting the soldiers that
we send across the sea beg that we
furnish the Red Cross hospitals,
physicians, nurses, stretcher bearers,
medicines and bandages in time to
serve their terrible need.
And the mother whose yearning arms
reached emptily after her soldier boy
who has marched away, holds out those
aims pleadingly toward the patriotic
ally generous Of Oregon; her full, ten
der heart questions anxiously, "Wlll
\ GU give the Ned Cross ability to save
my boys life when he is wounded,
and to care for me?"
Ii is an appeal that Oregon can not,
will not, resist.
Red Cross Week offers Oregon an
to complete her splendid
record.
Remember that the American Red
Cross is financed out of private sub
scriptions because if financed by the |
government it would cease to have the
status of neutral on the battle fields
and its work might be handicapped or
destroyed Remember, that subscrip- I
tions made now may be paid in % per
cent installments, July /, August a, |
/ and October l.
To all committees, L. G. Nichols,
State Campaign Manager says: Every
organization must come up
to Monday with its full complement of
workers. ANY worker not willing to
put in four hours straight time a day
should be relieved of duty. The
finish is harder than the start. Set
Yourself for long race and fast
one and accept nothing less than
success.
every report from every Oregon
community is encouraging, says Mr.
Nichols.
Oregon will show that the people
realize the Red Cross appeal comes
from an emergency that must be met.
