RED cross CAMPAIGN
Nation wide Drive For Membership
to Open On November 8.

tNdttOu- Wt0C 1ItNC IOI
to Open On November 8.
Washington, August 12.-Plans for
a nation wide Red Cross campaign
opening Monday, November 3, and
closing Armistice day, November II
were formerly announced by DR.. Liv
ingston Farrand, chairman of the
executive committee of the American
Red Cross.
The primary object of the cam
paign, which will he known as the
Third Red Cross roll call, will be to
enroll members for 1920, but there
will be in addition general appeal
for $15,QG0,000 to enable the organi-
Zation to complete it's war obliga-
tions at home and abroad.
There will also be- local appeals,
where necessary, conducted by the
chapters, to secure funds needed for
local programs.
During the war there were two
annual Red Cross campaigns, the
war fund drive in the late spring and
a Christmas roll call for membership.
The only campaign this year will be
the one in November and in succeed
ing years there will be only an an
nual roll call in which the Red Cross
will seek the re- affirmed allegiance
of the American people expressed in
dollar memberships. The money SO
derived will be used for American
purposes and the approval thus re-
ceived is to be regarded as a man
date to carry on future programs.
For relief purposes the Red Cross
must raise SIS, 100000.
