RED CROSS ROLL
.CALLCOMES SOON
Annual Renewal of Member
ships to be Asked for Week
of December 16
WANT QUOTA SUGGESTIONS
Citizens Asked to Name Goal
for City--Leon Again to Lead
in Big Campaign
WANT QUOTA SUGGESTIONS

With the wonderful work of the
American Red CrosS on the fields of
Europe and in this city during the re-
cent disaster, fresh In the minds of the
people, the city will turn to the next
war work drive in this city with true
zest to see 1t put through to won
derful and successful conclusion.
The campaign will be the annual
Red Cross roll call, when renewals of
Red Cross memberships will be sought
for the week beginning December 16.
Albert leon, chairman of the success
full drive for the Red Cross in the past
will again head the campaign.
The EVENING NEWS is asking It's
readers to aid the committee in setting
a quota which the campaigners will
then set out to gain. There Is no
quota assigned the city in these
membership rolls calls but the city
wants to set a figure which will then
be aimed at and surpassed If this city
is to continue its magnificent record
that has been made in all war work
drives up to this time.
The coupons printed In the EVEN
ING NEWS daily will give the oppor-
tunity to citizens to express their
opinions of the proper quota which
the city should attain and then sur
pass. The committee hopes that there
will be considerable interest shown in
this setting of the quota through
public opinion and is anxious to have
a generous response to the suggestion.
In the last drive for memberships,
the quota set was $500. When the
campaign was completed the city had
about doubled that figure. This year,
with the accomplishments of the Red
Cross fresh in mind, 1t is believed that
there will be an overwhelming answer
to the appeal for members.
The campaign will in no sense be q
money making event. The only money
attached to the drive is the price OF
the membership, which Is one dollar
| a year.
Annual Meeting Thursday.
The annual meeting of the PERTH
Amboy Chapter OF the American Ped
Cross will be held in the auditorium
of the high school next Thursday
evening, at o'clock. The election OF
members of the executive committee
for the ensuing year will be held. an
nual reports of the work of the chap
ter and its auxiliaries will be read
and the transaction of such other busi-
ness as may be brought before the
meeting. The meeting will be ad.
| dressed by Lieutenant Vincent dt
Wierzbicki. of the French army, and
1t is hoped that as many members a!
possible will be present.

who was reported as having died In
France, has written two letters to his
family since the date when he was
