RED CROSS NOTES

and closing Armistice Day, Nov. II,
are being begun in Hays, by Rev.
Father Julius, Ellis County Roll Call
Chairman.
Announcement of quotas was made
recently by Edward Hidden, of St.
Louis, Southwestern Division Director
of the drive. The quota announced
for Ellis County is 1880 members
The principal aim of the campaign
will be TO enroll members for the
Forthcoming year.
Rev. Father julius has been ap-
pointed local director of the Red
Cross Roll Call.
1t was pointed out by Director Hid
den that Red Cross chapters have as
prospective members thousands of re-
turned soldiers, sailors and marines,
many of whom will be able to give
first hand testimony as to the benefits
they have received at the hands of
the Red Cross during the war.
Several chapters have not yet ap-
pointed a director for their local cam
paign. To Red Cross workers in such
places Director Hidden recently wrote
urging the immediate appointment of
campaign manager.
81 cannot impress upon you too
forcibly," he said, "the Importance of
the immediate appointment of di-
rector for the forthcoming campaign
Most of the chapters already have
made such appointments and certifi-
Gates are being forwarded the new
Roll Call officials.
Figures based upon memberships
obtained during the first and second
Red Cross Roll Calls have been sent
each local chapter. With these as a
basis the quota for each chapter has
been determined.
''In a few years it will be as natur-
al for people to renew their Red
Cross memberships annually as 1t IS
for them to celebrate Christmas, for
the Red Cross will be the supporting
organization back of welfare and
health agencies everywhere"
