Raymond Foster made 1925 and
took out S1.00 membership and
donated 1925 to Hays Chapter. This
little worker is only seven years old.
The Christmas membership drive
was q great success. Over $500 mem
bers and many donations. The To-
cal Chapter wishes to express its ap-
precaitiOn to everyone who helped
make this big drive such a success.
| The Community Christmas was also a
great success and again the chapter
| thanks everyone for their splendid
cooperation. The results show we
are a united people
Hays Chapter received New
| Years gift of SO from W. F. King,
additional money won by "Adie AS
ira" at the fourth of July celebra-
| and has pledged every cent they win
| to Red Cross work. Hays Chapter
! thanks Mr.. King for his generous
gifts.
Perhaps the most vital of all the
| Red Cross branches is that devoted
to civilian relief, or as it is now
| called the ''home service" It is the
! branch that keeps the home fires
| burning, provides advice, council, if
necessary. financial assistance to the
! soldiers family, in order that he may
! give himself to the service of his
| '0untry with a mind free from wor-
ry.
No soldier is 100 per cent. efficient
if he is worried about his sick wife or
| child or parent. His home, after all,
! is largely what he is fighting for, and
| it must be preserved and strength
ened, not only on his account and be-
cause it will help to win the war, but
because it is all important to the fu-
| tUTe of the Nation that the children
develop into strong and good and
well trained men and women.
Anyone dependent on any soldier
report to Rev. Rogers, chairman of
the Honce Service.
