RED CROSS FUTURE
IS LINKED WITH
ROLL CALL
Dawson, War Council Head,
Outlines Tasks That
Lie Ahead

Next weeks Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call for members is character
ized as the foundation OF the Red
Cross" by Chairman II. p Dawson OF
the Red Cross War Council in his
statement describing the future Of the
Red Cross.
Wherever our soldiers and sailors
may be. the Red Cross will stay with
them until they are demobilized. Moth
ing which we may do will be left un-
done. either for the men In the war

will continue TO be devoted the minis

ice." promises Mr.. Dawson.
Volunteer Aid Needed.
The wake Of the war will however.
reveal the prevalence OF disease. and
give rise to emergencies which in all
parts Of the world will call for unlim-
tied voluntary effort
Here will be the opportunity for
the American Red Cross. But even
our Red Cross must not act and can
not act most effectively alone; we
must labor in cooperation with the
national Red Cross and relief societies
Of other nations, TO the end that not
alone the heart OF America but the
heart Of all mankind may be modified
on behalf OF suffering humanity
Mr.. Dawson declares the American
Red Cross 10 be planning ito develop
Its permanent organization in this
country on a scale never before con-
templated in time OF peace"

study" he says, lis being given by
the national organization not alone to
problems OF international relief. but to
plans in this country for enlarged
health education. development Of
nursing. care and prevention Of acct
dents and other correlated lines which
may contribute to the health and hap
piness Of men. women and children.
THE work Of experimenting govern
mental activities. which the Red Cross
will be called upon to do In all parts
OF the world. will be upon a great
scale. but IL will call for human serv-
ice rather than for large expenditures.
What the Red Cross needs now is
not so much contributions OF money.
as the continued devotion and loyalty
OF its members.
Join and Servei
Annual membership involves the
payment Of only one dollar.
The money thus received not only
defrays all the administrative ex
penses OF the organization. but leaves
a substantial balance, which. together
with all funds subscribed directly for
relief. are solely devoted 10 that pur-
pose.
The Roll Call OF the nation is thus
TO be called at Christmas time. that
through enrolment in the Red Cross
the American people may send a mes
sage TO our soldiers still overseas and
TO the peoples Of the world that we are
not merely content with seeing our
arms united with our allies in victory
but that our abiding purpose is that
the love. the sympathy and the intelli-
gence Of all America shall be rededi-
Gated TO the permanent service OF man
kind"

NATURE APPLES WILL NOT
SCAID IF VENTILATED

The office of fruit disease investiga-
tions gives the following instructions
to prevent apple scald:
Green apples scald worse than WELL
colored ones. Pick only when mature.
Make more than one picking when
practicable.
Keep Cool.
In the Orchard.--keep the picked
APPLES as cool as possible. Low tenn
peratures are desirable. but all COOL
ing is valuable
Keep the apples in the shade. Open
packing sheds and storehouses at
night. Ship promptly to market or
storage.
In Transit.-Precool the fruit and
ship in iced refrigerator cars when
practicable.
In Storage.-Get the apples to cold
storage or air-cooled houses as soon
as possible after picking.
Open packages cool@ more quickly
than tight ones.
Venttlate.
In the Orchard.-Do not hold warn,
apples in headed barrels.
In case OF delay keep the fruit In
open crates IL possible
Do not hold in large. close piles.
Give the packing sheds and store
rooms plenty of air. especially night
air
In Transit--Give the apples al
much air as Is practicable.
Delay of poorly cooled fruit in tight
cars greatly increases scald and causes
heavy Losses.
In Storage.-Apples scald less in
boxes than in barrels and less in ven
tilated barrels than In tight ones. espe-
cially IL the storage room receives
considerable ventilation.
They scald less in well ventilated
cellars and air-cooled storage houses
than in unventilated commercial cold
storage plants.
