Red Cross
DriUe is On


The Red Cross drive to enroll
every adult and younger person resid.
ing In Carson Valley and Alpine
county, with our local chapter as
monthly contributors started Monday
and officers in charge of districts re-
port favorably as far as they have
gone regarding the attitude of the
people to combine in keeping up this
philanthropic enterprise here In the
Valley which is, of course, gratifying
to the finance committee.
While our national government is
engaged In the gigantic task of halt
ing and putting out of existense a
mighty system of autocracy which
has been building for decades, the de-
signers of which crave power and do
minion and care for nothing about lib
erty and justice among the peoples of
the earth, let every man and woman
line up for action in the way that we
are best qualified, behind our COM
mander-in-chief, President Wilson, the
army and navy and do our parts just
as efficiently as the work ON the bat
tie fields are taken care of. There
will be no stopping of this war until
the object of the nations allied to-
gether in the interest of freedom will
have have been accomplished, we can
readily discern that this Is certain
from the present activities of our own
government. Let NC therefore, who
are going to stay at home, take our
cue at once from Uncle Sans way OF
doing things and, without any urging,
become contributors of our home Red
Cross Chapter and get things done
too.
Our first need is full treasury so
that our work rooms may be stocked
Immediately with raw materials and
very soon be operating full force and
time. If the people will furnish the
funds from month to month, we will
in turn promise to have shipments of
manufactured bandages and articles
for the wounded, clothing for soldiers
and orphans, leaving the Valley Red
Cross establishments frequently for
the front. We do not ask for a large
contribution but we expect contri-
button from each person each month,
because we are organized for the dur
alton of the war and want you to
stay with us and see the thing thru.
You will be informed later through
these columns by tho courtesy of tho
Record-Courier, which Is one Of our
main supporters, the number of work
rooms and where they are located,
and welcome will be extecded to all
to come and see for themselves what
is being accomplished in these factor
les and we want you to realize that this
is a work worthy of every individual
in tho entire community to take hold
of in earnest Now we are asking you
to help get the project on a business
basis. There are only few days
remaining in August and we want a
full months contribution by August31.
Officers in charge of districts and their
assistants,. ell of whom are giving
their time and services free of charge,
cannot possibly call on every one per-
sonally in so short time. Therefore,
will you not be kind enough to Mail a
check, postal money order, or the cash
wrapped security and labeled" August
