CANNOT CALL ON
PEOPLE To JOIN
RED CROSS ROLL
Presence Of Epidemic Makes
1t Necessary That All Vol
unfairly Send In Sub
scriptions And Dollars

Roll call for the Central Arizona
chapter of the American Red Cross
will take place from December II to
December %. Mrs. C. f. Ainsworth,
chairman for the roll call for the
chapter, and a quorum of the roll call
committee met yesterday afternoon in
the Red Cross rooms and discussed the
situation, deciding to ask all who
would to voluntarily send in their
memberships for 1919 so that the COM
mittee. at the time of the canvass, may
be saved as much of the routine work
as possible.
President Wilson, head of the Amer
lean Red Cross, in his appeal for the
annual Red Cross Christmas roll call
presented the slogan: Il summon you
to Comradship" which has been made
the text of the effort to enroll all
adults in the United States in member
ship in this great mercy organization.
Membership Only 81
membership without the Red
Cross magazine subscription costs but
81 and entities the holder to wear one
of the new 1919 Red Cross buttons
showing that membership is paid up
for another year. 1t is hoped that
every adult will take one of these dol
lar memberships and that in each
home there will be one So membership
which includes subscription to the Red
Cross magazine. This magazine will
enable the household to keep in touch
with what the great organization is
doing at home and overseas.
1t would be impossible at this time
to make a house house canvass for
members for the Red Cross because of
the epidemic conditions. 1t would be
Unfair to ask workers to do this and
unfair to incur the risk of spreading
the influenza, and so the committee
has resolved by formal motion to ask
as many as will to send in their dollar
for regular membership with an ex-
ira dollar for each household for a
magazine subscription so that the
members in that home may keep post
ed on what the Red Cross = doing.
Half to Local Chapter
Of the amount received in member
! ship fees one-half goes to the local
chapter and furnishes the only fund it
has to do its work, and this work, with
| influenza rampant, in the community
rs very important and vital one. The
| membership. fee for the new year. of
/ course. has nothing to do with the
! general fund raised each spring to de-
fray the great work done overseas and
in aid of war sufferers.
