the CHRISTMAS drive! IL you ulu not,
remember this, it is never too late
to be Red Cross member.
We must brace ourselves for effort
and endurance. High of heart and
with unfaltering soul, we must all
do our part to help win this war
twenty-five million Red Cross
members in America today who are
ready to mobolize the heart and soul
of America toward binding up the
wounds of bleeding world.
Lee county did her part and did it
well. We now have Red Cross
membership in Lee county bordering
close on to $500. 1t is hard to give
a correct report in this issue, as
every day brings in new members.
In the name of the American Red
Cross and our boys in khaki, for
whom at this time the Red Cross
means so much | want to thank the
splendid ladies and gentlemen who
worked so earnestly and so faithfully
in this great cause, and helped to
make it such a success.
