SOUTH AMbOY
AIDS RED CROSS
Success of Roll Call is Prac-

Has Been Great

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 21.-The
success of the annual drive for MEM
bers of the Red Cross is practically
assured. The workers who are bust
ly canvassing the city report a great
response to the appeal.
Probably due to the fact that the
hand of mercy not 81 long ago was
stretched into this locality, makes the
drive the success it is certain TO
make. The work done by this noble
organization during the famous
Morgan explosion and the influenza
epidemic will never be forgotten, and
in recognition for this service the
appeal is not in vain.
The drive is under the supervision
of James d. VanPelt, who last year
was instrumental in making 1t a
great success.
The local chapter, through its
Homo Service Section, is performing
good work. However, funds are nee
essary to carry on the work of the
visiting nurse. Miss Gallagher, who
served overseas with the American
Red Cross. and who was a public
health nurse in New Orleans. is be-
ing retained IN this city. Her work
is meeting with the approval OF all.

FIRE CAUSES Big DAMAGE
TO SOUTH AMBOY HOUSE

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 21-A fire

and lit up the skies for miles
around bringing out several hun
dred people { o witness the blaze.
The fire started in the attic OF the
home mysteriously and had good
Roadway before the fire alarm was
sent in. Quick work of the local
fire departments probably saved this
and ether surrounding frame
buildings in close proximity to each
other.
Two alarms were sent in and all
companies were quick 10 get TO the
scene. Besides the roof much dam
age was done by water. The entire
loss IS estimated at $4,000.
