The Red Cross Christmas roll call
got away to a flying start yesterday,
producing 1853 memberships for the
first days work.
St. Johnsbury people read and
therefore understand that although
the war is over, the need of the Red
Cross was never greater and only
! through the wonderfully efficient ma
chinery of the Red Cross are we able
to help the starving people in the war
devastated countries.
| The canvassers for the most part
found the people ready and willing to
| join or rejoin this splendid organiZa-
ton and the results of the first day of
the drive are very gratifying.
The local campaign is we'll organ
lied and proceeding on schedule
time. Arthur r. Brooks is chairman
for Caledonia county and Bloomfield
A. Palmer is chairman for St. Johns
bury. Mr.. Brooks has the drive well
underway in every town in the county
with excellent prospects of doubling
the present membership. Mr.. Palmer
has organized IL teams of canvassers
IN st. Johnsbury. 1t is interesting
to note that only two of the captains
have served in any of the previous
campaigns in this capacity, and that
all the other captains and a majority
! of the workers are new at this work.
/ This is only another evidence of the
patriotism of the people of st. Johns
bury. Fresh troops are taking the
places of the veterans of previous
campaigns and the results of the first
days drive indicate that they are
abundantly equal to the task before
them.
Local Chairman Palmer calls par
Eticular attention from American Red
Cross headquarters that everybody
I wear a 1919 Red Cross button this
week: So hurry up and join us and
Wear your button"
