| Subscribing to the Red Cross is but
giving back small part of that which
you have had in abundance-the
chance to live. to know the sweetness
and fullness of life. There isn't any,
thing finer and better than to sub
scribe and be part of an organization
whose one purpose is to aid the aftiict-
ed and distressed to hold in life lust as
many as is possible and to mend the
torn and broken bodies upon whom
nave fallen the fortunes of war; The
Red Cross needs no excuse for want
ing your subscription nor specific ap-
peal Tor your hearty participation in
the work. 1t is all a matter of in
telligence and moral worth. something
about which you need but to follow the
dictates OF your conscience.
