OFFICIAL RED CROSS
NOTES AND ACTIVITIES
"Dig-A Call to Women.

In an article in the Red Cross
Magazine for May, Edna Ferber
her appeal for help in the coming
Red Cross Drive with a statement
that all women are part squirrel. She
says "some are fifty per cent, some
are twenty-five, some ten, and some
a bare fraction of a per cent. OF
that thrifty, canny, bright-eyed lit
tie hoarder whose motto is:
Zone nut on the ground is worth
two on the tree"
when the women of America
realize that nothing in this world
counts but the winning of this war
it is won! You women who are
natural-born hoarders give up that
precious little pile of savings, so pain
fully accumulated.
The American Red Cross needs
millions of dollars, There are wonl-
en- who will say they have knitted,
endlessly; sold Liberty Bonds; roll
ed bandages; made dressings; con-
served food, given up luxuries. 1t is
not enough, if you are not willing to
offer at least part of your secret
hoard If you cannot give it all, give
part. Give something. Give it to
America so that you will not have to
give it to Germany. Give it though
it hurts. Give it though you've saved
it penny by penny. No matter what
the need for which you have saved
it, it is not a millionth part so pres
sing as the need of the Red Cross.
1t is this spring, when the fathers,
and brothers, and sons of America,
will go over the top into the actual
fight, that that little meard of dol
lars saved by the women workers
and the women householders of this
country will be needed, 1t is so
easy to argue that your solitary dol
lar doesn't count, and can't help.
But it can. 1t does. The population
| Of the United States is one hundred
million. If every one of these could
contribute one dollar, the Red Cross
hundred million dollar drive would
be won in a day That's how much
vour dollar counts. The Red Cross
comes nearer to exemplifying the
Universal brotherhood idea than any
organization in the world 1t is more
than an organization. 1t is reli-
gion. 1t is life"
Bear in mind that the Red Cross
War Drive is from the goth to the
9th of May!
Let nothing stand between the
people of Cobb County and their
privilege of giving literally to the
Red Cross during that week.
