 Our busy President has taken time to issue a letter recently to the children of America urging them to enroll again this year in the Junior Red Cross, and stresses the vital importance Of the peace plans outlined for the juniors It is this generation which must carry on the work of our generation at home and abroad, hence the need of insulting loyalty and patriotism into this host of future citizens
 In carrying on community activities the 1 juniors of the Red Cross will have in l mind the welfare of unfortunate children at home the same as they have the im-
