RED CROSS NOTES
"Grayson.
'Rufin
"Stitt7

Have you heard someone say that the
war Is over and they are not going TO
work for or give TO the Red Cross any
more? Just few arguments to prove
that the organization needs your work
and money vet, and will until some of
the actual suffering in the countries over
seas has been relieved.
In the first place, to men still in serv-
lee and to their families at home, to dis
charged soldiers not yet readjusted to
the routine of civilian life, to boys suffer
ing or convalescing in military and ma
val hospitals, the American people must
still give cheer, comfort and service
through their Red Cross. In certain por,
tions of Europe the Red Cross must still
care for undernouFished babies, and for
the aged and infrm, and must assist
war ravaged countries to organize their
own resources to preserve the vitality
and lives of their people. While all
these responsibilities at home and abroad
have steadily lessened in volume and
scope and are gradually moving toward
completion, they cannot be abandoned
until they are fully met.
Then there are the sudden calls for aid
that the Red Cross has been answering
since long before the war, those calls
where disaster of some sort comes upon
section of the world, such as fires
earthquakes, floods, etc, when that or
ganization is the first to respond and the
first to be appealed to for assistance
And, third, the war has left America
with a realization that higher standards
of responsibility to prevent needless suf-
fering and loss OF life are set both for
individuals and the nation. The Red
Cross is prepared to aid in maintaining
these standards, and its work will be
directed to assisting, stimulating and
supplementing all legitimate movements
for the preservation, promotion and inn
provement of the public health and for
better living conditions through applying
and extending the principles of true
neighborliness
This, then, is to be the work of the
Red Cross in the future, but the money
from the roll call, which is to be taken
all over the country the week Of Nov
All, will be expended chiefly for medi-
cal aid in the countries devastated by
war and in Siberia. Some of the rea-
sons for this are the weakened and di-
minished child population among our
allies, the fact that Congress has turned
over to the Red Cross for distribution
abroad the surplus medical supplies of
the A. T.. f. and the fact that unless
present Red Cross medical commissions
continue their work of prevention, cpl
denies of typhus are likely to sweep
Europe
Don't withhold your dollar 1t may
do much more hood than you could ae-
complish with it personally.

for so young an interpreter, and her
rendering of the delightful Rachmaninof

appearance and manner as we'll as in
her playing, shows herself to be an ear
nest, devoted student of art. with
