BOYS AND GIRLS JOIN
 THE JUNIOR RED CROSS

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 Jnior Auxiliaries of this organization, of whose accom- pGshments America is justly proud.
 A recent report shows that AIS jun for auxiliaries were organized in Ari- zona. Of these, results were reported by only 45 of the organizations, this being little more than 1O3. There was school fund of $479S.63, of which $3O88.3O has been spent. Boys and girls of Arizona knitted and se"- ed 15,402 articles and 50 articles were contributed by 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 was 6582 auxiliaries. According to the reports from 2s15I 5Iauxiliaries, in the period from Nov. 1, 1917 to Feb ruary 28, 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 auxiliaries re- porting showed a total of $223,590.21 of which $112,913.2S was spent.
 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 hy- giene, first aid, and dietetics, and ef- forts will also be made to secure pub lie health nurses wherever possible.
 Much thought has been given to ex tending the Home Service to others than the families of soldiers and sai, ors. At the same time, conditions in Europe are becoming more appalling, and more and more the responsibi'!- ties resting on the American Red Cross there are increasing To meet these responsibilities the national or ganization is calling in every avail able dollar contributed for war work.
 To provide funds for the enormous relief work in America, as we'll as to insure the completion of the various war activities, drive for Red Cross funds will be made in November. In all probabilities these funds will be dividedii as heretofore, 759o going to the national headquarters and 25gs being retained by the local chapter to supply funds for the programs of tKe various communities.
 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 flo the benefit to them as citizens in embryo, that will< accrue because nf their increased realization of the obli- gations for general service carried by the recognition of the high estate of a citizen of our American Republic.
 Therefore, l, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, appeal to the children of the State to enroll as mem bers of the Junior Red Cross. Every child in every school-public, private or parochial, should feel personal interest and responsibility in this work, guided by their leaders in cit izenship, the teachers. !
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital the 25th day of September, 1919.
