JEWETT CITY

The fourth annual enrolment of mem bers in the American National Red Cross will start in the Jewett City chapter Mon day, the 18th. Sunday Is Red Cross Sum Gay and the committee did not think it best to begin the enrolment until after the church announcements The roll call is an annually recurring event in which the Red Cross asks its members 10 re- I new membership and invites no1-menbsrs to become members by paying the regular dues. People are tired Of "campalgnsr and "drlves.' The roll call is neither one or the other. It Is the American Red Cross calling upon its members for their annual renewal of allegiance in order I that their interests and the interests of i the people aS g whole may be better 1 served. The American Red Cross is & ! national institution existing under an act or congress which specifies its duties and 1 obligations. These obligations may be 1 stunned up as follows:
 l Continuation Of measures in behalf of 1 Americas veterans of the world war. par I tlcularly the disabled service for peace l time army and navy; development of greater natural resistance through health service and all cosnate activities: in- creasing the country's facilities for nurs. | ing: Red Cross cooperation with official i health centers; continued preparedness | for disaster relief; home seryics and con-
 rnuiity work; completion of relief work among the ware xhGusted and disease ] ridden populations oTerseas
