The following statement was issued
by George f. Scott. acting general
manager of the American Red Cross:
THE first general elections since
the United States entered the War
will take place before long. The Red
Cross is and must be maintained a
non-partisan, non-political organiza-
ton. The reasons for this are so OBJ
vious that they need no elaboration.
, Membership in the Red Cross includes
, so many people and there are so many
men of prominence engaged in its
work either at home or abroad, that it
is not at all unlikely that many of
them will be candidates for Office. No
matter how sincerely Red Cross
official or worker may strive to keep
separately his Red Cross work from
any possible political ambitions which
he may entertain, he may and prob
ably will be quite unable to keep his
friends from using his connection with
the Red Cross in order to gain favor
with the voters"
Miss Tough, the Richmond chapter
instructor in Red Cross sewing, has
started this week to make a series of
trips to Red Cross rooms out in the
county. On Tuesday she visited Hag-
erstown and Dalton; Wednesday she
will give instructions in the making of
refugee garments in Chester. Fountain
City and Whitewater, and Friday she
will visit Abingdon in regard to the
same work. The Lake states, includ-
ing Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky. have
all been assigned the making of re-
fugee garments for the August quota
Earlham Heights Red Cross rooms
will be open Friday afternoon from
to 5 o'clock according to announce
ment made Wednesday, The rooms
were open Tuesday of this week and
the chapter will work two days this
week, Workers are urged to come to
the rooms.
