why the Red Cross Drive.


The Red Cross proposes to con-
tinue, as prior to the war, to render
all possible aid in cases of epidemic
or disaster. In addition it proposes
to carry this work still further in its
effort to save and conserve human
life, by giving aid in cases of indi-
vidual need and not waiting for an
epidemic, or a wholesale fire.
The opportunities for service are
without limit and the call is not only
National but local as well. The
Cecil County Chapter should be in
position to answer the cry of need
from any citizen of our own County,
and has already done very valuable
and efficient work along this line,
for example: In addition to answer
ing all the calls for war work and
sending vast supplies for the relief
of refugees, four of our auxiliaries
have rendered aid, furnished money,
clothing, furniture, etc., in cases Of
fire in their vicinity, one auxiliary
in two different instances; three
gave or assisted in giving dinners to
our returned soldiers and sailors; in
many instances, the needs and COM
forts in cases of sickness have been
ministered to; one auxiliary distrf-
buted twenty-six baskets at last
Christmas time, and the same or
ganization paid part of the expense
of having little cripple treated,
and contributed to the United War
Work Fund. Another gave $500
to the Salvation Army Drive;
another remembered it's very poor
foreigners at their dinner to the re-
turned soldiers; one auxiliary met
an emergency when local cannery,
at the time of it's opening, was un-
able to secure help and the farmers
who had raised the produce to can,
were on the verge of losing their
crop and the community the much
needed food, by the ladies of the Red
Cross stepping in and laboring day
after day in the cannery, and thus
saving the crop for the farmer and
the food for the public. Many
other instances could be enumerated
of the good work done by the Local
Representative of the Red Cross.
Within our own County, the Red
Cross has assisted in several in
stances, in cases of destitute fami-
lies, where there has been sickness
and it is its purpose to continue this
work on larger scale, to not only
aid in cases of actual sickness, but to
endeavor to aid in the prevention of
disease, and to assist in lowering the
stupendous death rate of babies and
to help disseminate general infor-
nation as to sanitation and health.
1t is for the purpose of carrying
out these lines of activities, which
in many instances require skill and
tact, to enable the worker to enter
home and really assist family with
out undermining self-respect or in
centive for self-support, that it is
proposed to employ a trained worker
for our own County.
The Red Cross with its experiences
and training is in far better posi-
ton to perform this much needed
service for us, the people of Cecil
County, as well as those in foreign
lands, than are we ourselves or any
other organization, and it is for This
reason that the Red Cross appeals to
everyone with "a heart and dollar"
to join its ranks during its Annual
Drive for Membership.
