Red Cross will be far oversubscribed
by very large amount. Yesterday s
dispatches indicated that $155, 900, 600
had been subscribed up to Wednesday
night, with great number of country
districts and towns to be heard from.
Tazewell county can let other sec
tions get 4 running start" and then
win in the race, as the growth of the
Tazewcll Chapter of the American
Red Cross shows.
The slogan, 900 members for our
Chapter" will have to be changed,
Tor already about 700 citizens have
Joined this army of mercy. The goal
must be moved down the line for out
of 10000 good citizens, more than
1000 want to do something to help
throw about our boys at the front the
best of care and attention when they
are wounded and sick, and our list
will soon prove the truth of this state
ment.
Every other great nation keeps a
huge reserve fund for emergency
work. We are going to have our
$1O0,O00,000 and more. Every other
great country has tremendous ar
my working to keep supplies in abun-
dance for their hospitals and some
extra comforts that mean SO much to
the sick. Mr.. Wilson said 100000
must enlist in this army and get to
work and the answer shows he did
not measure correctly the generosity
Of those who cannot carry guns, for
the enlistment now promises to give
us the greatest Red Cross organiza-
tion on earth. America neglected
this important phase of national de-
velopment Il long time, when other
countries were giving their closest
attention, but now that America is
awake, no nation shall outrank ker
Out here in Southwest Virginia,
we were slow getting to work, but
record is being made now, and our
Tazewell county chapter shall do her
part.
From this town our organizers 90
out daily, telling the story of the
Red Cross to the people, end the
people gladly respond.
