OF ENROLMENT COMMIT
TEE APPOINTED FOR EACH DISTRICT
COUNTY COMMITTEE ALSO AP-
POINTED.

The next drive is upon us-a Red
Cross Christmas Membership Cam
paign. Although pledged as a Nation
to the National purpose, necessarily
a large percentage of us can have NO
part in the fighting branches of our
countrys service. All of us however
can be identified with the Red Cross
and make it big enough and strong
enough to carry some of the burden
for our soldiers, our sailors. and our
Allies.
The War Council of the American
Red Cross wants an additional army OF
ten million members and has set
Christmas as the fitting time to attain
this goal, because the Red Cross and
Christmas spring from the same great
spirit Of mercy, sacrifice and cheer.
Accordingly an intensive CAM
paign will be carried on from now un-
til Christmas day. A National Christ.
