These reports of the work of the
Fremont County Chapter American
Red Cross should be read carefully
by every citizen. They represent a
ministry unique in the history OF the
county. By these the patrons and
friends of the organization can ac-
count for every dollar contributed dur
ing the past year The best intellig-
ence and conscience of the executive
committee determined the use of these
funds. We feel sure that the results
will meet the approval Of all But
for much volunteer service and super
lative devotion on the part of those
employed by the Red Cross this amaZ-
ing record would not have been pos
sible.
But what Of the coming year, Shall
the service OF last year be reproduced? ?
Shall the Red Cross, through these
various departments, answer every
call of need anywhere in the County
during 1921? Shall the ex-servics man
and his family have friend by whom
their cases might be attended to expe-
ditiously? Shall civilian relief be ad-
ministered intelligently and sympath-
etically at the critical time? In most
communities there are few or made
quate organizations to which our wor-
thy needy may turn. Should disaster
or epidemic smite there is but one or
ganization ready TO minister The Red
Cross is the unfailing Good Samsri-
tan.

tinue through the coming year two
