NOV. III 10 20
Red Cross officers in this coun-
ty are congratulating themselves
upon the acceptance by DR.. VIM.
B. James of the general chairman
ship of the Fourth Annual Red
Cross Roll Call, which will be TAX
en- nationally as we'll as in this
county from Armistice day, Nov.
IL to Thanksgiving day, Nov. %.
1t is to be volunteer campaign.
In talking over his plans this
week, DR.. James stated that he
believed there are enough men
and women in st. Clair county
ready and eager to assist so that
no solicitations need be made.
These offers of help with the
big drive should be sent to the
Red Cross house, or by mail or
telephone to DR.. James at the
Red Cross house at once, as sub
committees will be made up i'm
mediately.
1--WE also want contributions to
be voluntary" said DR.. james.
There are no reasons in the
world why memberships should
not come in freely, people who are
now members re-joining, and
those who should be members com
ing to us with their membership
fees.
"These are but $1.00 for annual
dues, $500 for contributory mem
berships and $1,000 for sustain
ing memberships. Perhaps few
people know in just what proper
tion this money is spent right here
in st. Clair county.
Fifty per cent of the annual
membership fees are retained by
the local chapter, while the other
half of the contribution is sent
to division AMI national head
quarters. Out OF the SIS fee the
home chapter retains 81 and out
of the $40 memberships So goes
into your chapter treasury"
Funds raised by the Roll Call
are used in three different ways
present, that is in home service
work, which deals with the ex.
service man and his family, public
health work and overseas relief
work.
Right here in st. Clair county
the Home Service section has
done invaluable work for the sol
diers, sailors and marines. From
Mrs. A. d. Schumacker's reports
it is found that during the last
year, aid of various kinds has beer
given to 1888 men.
This includes help with insur
ance, assistance in getting bacl
pay and compensation, help Il
families, lending of money and the
placing of several where they are
receiving devotional education.
DR.. T. E. DeGurse and Miss Mo
lie Mckinney are in charge of the
public health work, Mrs. Georg'
Brown also having been associat
ed with this department during ;
large part of the year. Much ha'
been done in the county schools
and many individual cases wher,
) help was needed have been takei
) care Of.
Everybody knows that there ar,
hundreds of homeless, parentles
children in Europe and that tn
Red Cross is almost their onl,
hope. 1t clothes and mothers then

better state of affairs.
