Christmas Appeal in
Behalf of Red Cross
Is Issued by Lansing

Secretary Of State Robert Lam
sing today issued the following
appeal in behalf OF the Red Cross
Christmas membership drive:
The Christmastide has be-
come by long established custom
the time for the giving Of gifts;
a time when hearts, inspired with
the thankfulness to God for His
supreme gift to mankind, throb
with responsive emotions which
find expression in acts Of love
and generosity.
'It is peculiarly fitting that in
these days when the world Is
darkened by war and misery that
the American people should with
true Christmas spirit give OF their
bounty to that great agency OF
mercy, the American Red Cross
which is doing such splendid
service in aIleviating suffering on
the battlehelds Of Europe and in
bringing comfort to the thousands
Of helpless ones who are victims
Of the brutalities Of war.
I'm response to the generous
impulses awakened by thoughts
of Christmas let us as a nation
show our love for humanity and
our gratitude to God by remem-
berinE at this time the Red
Cross and its needs"

Chairman Edward n. Hurley has
promised the Detroit auto-wizard all
the money, men and machinery neces-
sary, IL the plap proves feasible.
Upon Ford will rest the responsible
ity OF making good his claim that
ships can be built in the United States
much faster than submarines can de-
stroy them.
Ford is looking for a site near the
Alabama coal and iron deposits,
where ne can work out his ideas OF
speedy ship construction along
the same lines that have made his
automobile output world-famous.
Similar methods OF Standardization.
assembly ana economy will be intro
duced in the shipping program.
His enthusiasm has won over Hur-
ley to his revolutionary plans. Six
months from breaking ground for
the new site, Ford believes he will
launch the first ship and soon after.
will be producing several a day.
