By Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 10.-HarGld
G.. Hoffman with his committee of
nearly two hundred workers are hard
at work to put over" the 1920 Roll
Call of the Red Cross. To date over
eight hundred renewals have been re-
ported by the workers and still many
districts to hear from. The quota this
year is 1910 members while at the
present time there are 2432 men on
the roll. The city has been "bedeck-
ed" with Red Cross posters and in
nearly every home there hangs a Red
Cross Service Flag.
Just one year ago the Red Gross
was spending 100000 in this city
following the great Morgan explosion.
Just as the Red Cross came into South
Amboy to relieve the suffering of the
people and help rebuild the city just
so they go into every city where there
is suffering.
The leading team is the Eastern
Coal Docks Committee, headed by d.
w. Reed. This team chiefly through
the efforts of Mr.. Reeds lieutenant,
William Chambers, has secured lis
members.
Saturday wound up the districts of
the city. All boundry lines have been
dropped and everyone not wearing a
Red Cross button will be stopped
anywhere in the city.
