RED CROSS NOTES
Dear God to leave this sheltered place
where from may not 60,
To give my service to- world torn
through with war and woe,

mend the shattered mind,
To lend my hands unto the manned
my eyes unto the blind,
To give a woman back her man from
out the very dead,
But | will do this for you said the
great Cross of Red.
1t can't do this unless we give every
dollar we can in this second war fund
drive. Remember this is not char
ity, this is duty. This is not time to
give because others give, this is time
to give because others need. Ano
those who need are those who have Of
