 The report of the roll call chairman was presented by Miss Audrey Gernon. The house to house canvass has been success full. Fewer memberships have heen se- cured but generous gifts have made the amount received, S3,6ss, nearly equal to that received in the roll call of 1919. But the amount from the business houses is far below the level of last year. The re- port from the manufacturers has not been received and the auxiliaries have not com pleted their canvass. i=
 Threatens End of Home Service. fi The share of the Norwich chapter in | the amount thus far received is S2,141 45. | The executive committee recognizes with deep regret that it will not be possible to | carry out the program of service to which they are pledged unless very generous l special gifts forthcoming. During the past fortnight scores of soldiers have applied to the home service department 1 for temporary aid. So far as the treas | ury permits these calls will be met. But
  this service it cannot be continued. | Roll Call Report.
 i The report of the roll call chairman Miss Audrey Gernon, follows:
 The house to house canvass in Norwich for membership in the American Rec Cross is now over. The returns are en 1 couraging in that many districts hay, this year exceeded the amount given las year, and where districts show figures considerably below those of last year i can be directly traced to the depression
 in business, at the pqresent time and thu
 closing of the mills.
