WHAT IS RED CROSS
DOING, WHAT ARE
ITS URGENT NEEDS

Cross organization working anywhere |
near its capacity. This amount in its |
entirety is spent for the purchase of
raw materials bought at wholesale, to
be worked up. The organization has
been operated practically at no ex-
pense. Rent, light, fuel, janitor serv-
ice, telephone, local freight, etc, and
all labor have been generously furn-
ished free of charge; so that practic-
ally every dollar of cash that has been
received has gone into the purchase of
materials. The finished work has
brought high praise from the Denver
headquarters and from division super
visors who have inspected it here, so
we may feel just pride in the fact
that the local Red Cross is delivering
TO the nation the absolute maximum
of service for the funds entrusted to
it.
Raising $4,000 per month by pub
lie donations is hard and laborious
task, and the workers no sooner get
one drive over until another must be
| planned, and it gets to be tedious and
irksome expenditure of effort; and oc-
casionally some of the people express
themselves that the thing is being
overdone.
AS the war progresses and our boys
are growing more numerous on the
front, the demand for Red Cross sup
plies grows more and more urgent,
and appeal after appeal comes in to
the Red Cross to increase in every
possible way it's production. This
means that more money must be
raised than ever and the people must
come to realize that it is not posi-
BILE to over do the matter.
The mayor and City Council have
given over the afternoon of July A,
to the Red Cross to use in any man
ner for the raising of funds and in
doing so the organization will do all
it can to make the day enjoyable.
Every thing the people spend for
pleasure that day will serve the
double purpose of gaining pleasure
and financing the Red Cross. A num-
Der of features have already been
decided upon and committees APP
pointed to take charge of them
Others will be added later.

Red Cross drive for local purpose
: We appeal to the people TO spend gen

raised by donation during tine veal
y anyway, so why not make big even
% of it? Besides this spirit of genercu
