JUNIOR RED CROSS
CAMPAIGN IS URGED
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
State of Arizona,
Proclamation.

state Oh ArlZOud,
Proclamation
Already the children of our state
have in many communities done nota-
BILE work in advancing the efforts Of
the American Red Cross through their
activities in the junior auxiliaries of
this organization, of whose accom-
plishments America is justly proud.
ior auXiliaries were organized in Ari-
zona Of these results were reported
by only forty-five of the organization,
this being a little more than 10 per
cent. There was school fund of
$4798.63, of which $3088.30 has been
spent Boys and girls of Arizona
knitted and sewed 15,4o2 articles and
SO articles were contributed by the
manual training departments.
The work done in Arizona helped
swell the results secured for the sec
ton including Colorado, Nevada and
Arizona. In these three states there
were 6582 auxiliaries According 10
the reports from 2S15 auxiliaries, in
the period from November l, 1917, to
February %, 1919, the juniors sewed
and knitted total of 500630 articles
and made 11,548 articles for the Red
Cross in manual training departments.
The school fund in auxiliaries re-
porting showed total of 1928 3,59021,
of which $112,91328 was spent.
And now with the war happily over,
there is before us the great work Of
rehabilitation. In this work the Red
Cross will play leading part.
Home service work will require
time and money. 1t is proposed to
continue the classes in elementary
hygiene, first aid, and dietetics, and
efforts will also be made to secure
public health nurses wherever possi-
BILE.
Much thought has been given to ex-
tending the home service to others
than the families of soldiers and sail
ors At the same time conditions in
Europe are becoming more appalling,
and more and more the responsible
ties resting on the American Red
Cross there are increasing. To meet
these responsibilities the national or
ganization is calling in every avail
able dollar contributed for war work.
i To provide funds for the enormous
relief work in America as well as to
insure the completion of the various
war activities, a drive for Red Cross
funds will be held in November. In
| all probability these funds will be di.
vided as heretofore, rs per cent going
| to national headquarters and 25 per
cent being retained by the local chap
| ter to supply funds for the programs
| of the various communities.
No more important part of the work
presents itself than the necessity Of
securing the organized cooperation of
| the boys and girls of Arizona. This
| is true, not only for the tangible re-
suits they will help secure, but also
| for the benefit to them as citizens in
| embryo, that will accrue because of
| their increased realization of the OBJ
| Legations for general service carried
| by the recognition of the high estate
of a citizen of our American republic.
| Therefore, l, Thomas E. Campbell,
governor of Arizona, appeal to the
| children of the state to enroll as mem
| bers Of the Junior Red Cross. Every
child in every school-public, private
or parochial-should feel a personal
interest and responsibility in this
great worked, guided by their leaders
in citizenship, the teachers.
| In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state of Arizona to be affixed.
| Done at PhoeniX, the capital, the
25th day of September, 1919,
| THOMAS l.. CAMPBELL,
| Governor.
