CROSS MEMBERSHIP
Continued From First Page.

Delaware Will far exceed Pennsylvania
in proportion OF Its population. The
closing day OF the campaign was both a
busy and successful one. The workers
continued their efforts throughout the
day and evening and many very glow
ing reports are expected this week as a
result OF the efforts on Monday.
Henry p. Scott, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee OF the Delaware Red
Cross Is highly pleased with the results
OF the campaign. In speaking OF the
work that Chairman Marvel and his as
sociates and workers have done he said
that the drive had been eminently sue
cessful, not alone from the work that
was accomplished, but also because Of
the spirit infused throughout the State
into the patriotic work.
At the proper time Mr.. Scott said the
authorities OF the Red Cross Will ac-
knowledge the work done by Mr.. Mar
vel and his workers, but that as chair
man OF the executive committee. Mr..
Scott wished at this time TO express his
appreciation and thanks.
Those Delawareans who have been
out OF town during the campaign and
who may wish to enroll as members can
do so at the old City Hall, after the
headquarters, at Tenth and Market
streets are closed. Henry NJ. Candy,
treasurer Of the campaign, will trans
fer his accounts TO the Equitable Trust
Company and delayed returns will be
made there.
Mayor Cavender, OF New Castle, re-
ported this morning that he expected TO
have upwards OF 100 enrolled in that
city, as a result OF the drive.
Men and women who have been ac-
five in Red Cross work In Delaware for
long time, were greatly pleased to-
day when they learned how well Della
ware had shown up in this membership
drive. Had II been for money there Is
no question what the result would have
been. but In this campaign 1t was mem
5ers, not money, that was wanted.
In the opinion OF the Red Cross lead
ers OF Delaware, the campaign was as
great a success as any one could expect, |
and in fact many OF them weer sur
prlsed at the estimates Of the final flg- |
ures that are anticipated. pero |
Chairman Marvel. in commenting on
the campaign, sald
"Our Red Cross Membership cam |
paign has ended. Nothing remains |
except to receive the final returns. !
which viii doubtless take several |
days. The exact number OF individ-
ual memberships can only be fore
casted. Enough reports, however,
have been received TO make us be-
lieve, that the results VIII reflect credit
upon the people OF Delaware.
II cannot express the high appre-
riatfon and gratefulness in the hearts
Of the Red Cross organization, to those
whose untlring work and scariflce has
made this possible. We wish now that
we could make a Christmas Roll Call
Of these workers by name, but space
will not permit. 1t Is enough TO say,
that our records show the hundreds OF
busy and earnest men and women,
the whole tSate who have
given OF their time and their very best /
effort In this cause.
1.-THE Red Cross will treasure the list |
OF names, and our earnest wish, is that |
they Will each and every one enjoy the
coming Chritmas, with the added pleas
ure which comes from work that |
will towards men,"
