GOVERNOR URGES K|DD|ES TO JOIN
 THE JUNIOR REDX
PROCLAMATION, EXECUTIVE DE- APARTMENT, STATE OF
 ARIZONA.

Already the children of our state have in many communities done not able work in advancing the efforts of the American Red Cross through their activities in the junior auxiliaries of this organization, of whose accom- plishments America is justly proud.
 A recent report shows that AIS junior auXiliaries were organized in Arizona. Of these, results were reported by only 45 of the organizations, this being a little more than 10 per cent. There was a school fund of s4,79S.65, of which S30SS.S0 has been spent. Boys and girls of Arizona knitted and sewed 15,402 articles and 50 articles were contributed by the manual training de partments.
 The work done in Arizona helped swell the results secured for the sec tion including Colorado, Nevada and Arizona. In these three states there were 6,5S2 auxiliaries. According to the reports from 2,S15 auxiliaries. in the period from November 1, 1917, to February 2S, 1919, the juniors sewed and knitted a total of 500,630 articles and made 11.54S articles for the Red Cross in manual training departments.
 The school fund in auxiGaries re- porting showed a total of s223, ,590.21 of which s112.913.2S was spent.
 Great Work Ahead.
 And now, with the war happily over, there is before us the great work of rehabilitation. In this work the Red Cross will play leading part.
 Home service work will require time and money It is proposed to continue the classes in elementary hygiene, first aid, and dietetics, and efforts will also be made to secure public health nurses wherever possible.
 Much thought has been given to ex- tending the home service to others than the families of soldiers and sail ors. At the same time, conditions in Europe are becoming more appalling, and more and more the responsibilities resting on the American Red Cross there are increasing. To meet these responsibilities the national organiza- ton is calling in every available dollar contributed for war work.
 To provide funds for the enormous relief work in America, as well as to insure the completion of the various war activities, a drive for Red Cross funds will be held in November. In all probability these funds will be di- vided as heretofore, 75 per cent going to national headquarters and 25 per cent being retained by the local chap ter to supply funds for the programs of the various communities.
 Organize the Juniors.
 No more important part of the work presents itself than the necessity of securing the organized cooperation of the boys and girls of Arizona This is true, not only for the tangible re- suits they will help secure, but also for the benefit to them as citizens in embryo, that will accrue because of their increased realization of the obli- cations for general service carried by the recognition of the high estate of a citizen of our American republic.
 Therefore. I, Thomas E. Campbell. governor of Arizona appeal to the children of the state to enroll as mem hers of the Junior Red Cross. Every child in every school-public, private or parochial. should feel personal in terest and responsibility in this great work, guided by their leaders in citi- zenship, the teachers
 In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed
