FACTORY WORKERS
 URGED ID ENROLL
Red Cross Notices Found in Every
 Pay Envelope

The Red Cross Christmas roll call received the widest kind of publicity today, when q slip was put in every factory pay envelope appealing to the employe to have himself and his family enroll for the Red Cross. The note contained the following Christ mas Red Cross message: New Britain must have 3O,O00 Red Cross members. Have your whole family join. Membership $1.00 each. The Red Cross canvassers will call at your home. Have your dollars ready" The canvassers will call around starting Saturday night and Sunday, so it is expected that there will be very general response. Very few can say that the appeal has not reached them. as New Britain is nothing if it is not a manufacturing center
 Many people have already signif1ed that they are only waiting for the canvasser to come around, as they are anxious to give the Red Cross either a renewal or a new member ship. AS there is to be no further drive for funds for the soldiers in France it is expected that many will not stop with dollar, but will buy up memberships in wholesale lots. so as to provide memberships for needy persons The Red Cross hea dquar- ters can supply all the names that are necessary.
 It will be Red Cross Sunday in the churches, and the pastors will either preach Red Cross sermons or make suitable announcements from their pulpits. It is hoped that most of them will not stop with mere an nouncenents, but will devote a ser mon to Red Cross work It should be remembered that half of the money raised goes right into the work of New Britain Chapter, and does not leave the town. In addi- ton the New Britain Tuberculosis Relief society receives a percentage of the membership pledges for it's work here. No Christmas seals are to be sold this year, but each member will receive ten seals. If you want any more take on some extra mem berships and help the Red Cross

 Campaign Starts Tonight.
 Tonight, motorcycle riders will be sent out through the city, blowing horns with Red Cross signs on them 1 to advertise the campaign. It was proposed in the first place, to run ! the motorcycles with mufflers open, 1 but this scheme had to be abandoned 1 as there is a state law against it, and l horns will be substituted instead. It ] is expected that they will produce 1 about as much noise as if the mufflers ! were opened up.
