not forgotten them because the war
is over. This was demonstrated to-
day when they sent out a call for
every man who served with the colors
in the great war, asking him to take
advantage in the various ways in
which the Red Gross should be of
service to him. It is believed that
many Of the soldiers and sailors have
not realized the benefits which thew
may accrue by becoming acquainted
with the Red Cross service and the
new call is expected to draw into the
fold those who thus far have failed
to find their way to the Red Cross
rooms frequently.
Send Out Questionnaires.
To every soldier who is listed with
the organization, questionnaire has
been sent out. The first object of
this is to get the soldier acquainted
with the various ways whereby the
greatest mother in the world" still
stands ready to. aid him. There are
twenty-nine questions to be answered
by the soldier and each Of them will
suggest some way in which either the
Red Cross may be Of aid to the soldier
himself or to some of his buddies.
The Red Cross does not mean to
stop with merely receiving an ans
wer to these inquiries. If the service
men will follow them up, the organi-
cation will stand ready to help them
in every possible way.
To COmrIela the Files
I'VE want every service man in Ke-
nosha county to get one of these ques-
tionnaires," said Miss Margaret Far
ley, the secretary of the local home
service section of the Red Gross. "Our
files thus far have been made up of
the soldiers who have asked us to help
them secure the state bonus, and we
know that they are incomplete. For
this reason we are appealing through
the press to all soldiers who have not
received these questionnaires to call
at the Office for one. Then those who
receive the questionnaires, if they are
not interested in the questions, will
they please at least fill in their pres
ent name and address, so that we can
get their names on our ledger and be
ready to help them in the event that
it is ever possible %
Every service man, whether he has
had previous correspondence with the
Red Cross or not is urged to help in
making these files complete by filing
in his part Of them.
