The Red Cross War Fund commit
tee OF Sumter county has made an
earnest effort to give every person in
The county an opportunity to con-
tribute to the great cause. If any

was unintentional. Therefore any one

the contribution he or she desires to
make to the Red Cross direct to head
quarters. Everyone should give to
the Red Cross in proportion to his or
her ability.

my way to an ambulance and on the way
saw Watt Parsons with his arm shot. l
said, Watt, did they get you?" And he
said, YES" / told him had been gassed.
