hut in communities where there is no
Red Cross organization volunteer
workers are wanted and should com

1.-THE Red Cross is part of the
government, and until the was is nm
ally ended functions" states Mrs.
Conway. 1.-THE concensus OF opinion
throughout the country is that the
Red Cross should continue tndef-
nitely in every community where IT is
organized, and this roll call is for the
purpose Of perpetuating the organiza-
tion where it did not exist prior TO
the war. The Red Cross Organization
was formed in 1881 and has partici-
pated in $50 disasters, relief opera
lions it must be remembered, and
has expended at home and abroad ap-
proximately twelve and half million
dollars in this kind of humanitarian
activity alone"
