The week Of December 10 to Decemr
Der t23 Is roll call week for the Amer1-
can Red Cross. This is a Christmas
call to the citizens Of this country
; to enlist In the Army of Service. The
need for service is not abated by the
! ending of the war-the need for serv-
ice will not be ended for a long time.
At home and far afield the Red Cross
must continue the work Of relieving
the suffering that follows In. the wake
of the war. Refugees. and orphans
are still to be clothed and fed and
housed. The antituberculosis cam
paign must be kept up and the fam
lilies Of soldiers helped. Only Q part
Of the, work OF the Red Cross ends
with the cessation Of hostilities.
The Christmas roll call. has for its
object more than anything else the
enrolment Of all adults rs members
s Of the Red Cross and the appeal Is
for 81 memberships. The canvass will
be mainly for this. The Red Cross
makes it's appeal to all, without re-
gard to creed. race, sect, faction or
class It is one organization for uni
versal service based on sympathy and
humanity. OF course everybody that
is anybody wants to belong to 1t.
