GOVERNOR CALLS
 ON ALL TO GIVE AID TORED CROSS

Urging the people of this state to support the Red Cross with contribu- tions to enable 1t to continue the splendid work it is doing for hu- manity. Gov. Thomas E. Campbell yesterday addressed the people of Arizona
 His letter, calling especial attention to the fact that Sunday, Nov 13, has been designated as Red Cross Sunday and should be observed as such, is as follows:
 To the People of Arizona.
 It Is an important honor to belong to a great nation. To deserve a good country, to be a true citizen of this land, and to respond to the real signi- ficanee of our part in the America of today, require character and intelli- gence of high and definite order Furthermore. to merit our place in the great brotherhood of humanity | implies acceptance of certain specific responsibilities.
 One of the most important of these obligations is that which arises from
 the sufferings of mankind. So effec- lively has applied science enlarged
 our horizon that there is almost no corner of the globe whose veal or, woe | is not reflected in some way in our
 own lives. No longer are the famines and floods, the earthquakes and the confla grations of other continents, re- mote catastrophes, of which we learn 1 too late to do anything to relieve and
 succor those in distress News of
 them comes to us with promptness and accuracy, and almost immediate ! ly relief is under way.
 1 Without efficient organization such
 alleviation of human suffering would be impossible. The individual re- | gardless of his good intentions. would stand helpless in the face of modern , disasters, for the relief of which even
 the largest fortunes would not avail
 The American Red Cross is the
 name of the efficient machine where | by the good intentions of the individ- ual are translated into deeds of
 mercy; it is the organization which at
 any and all times is prepared to meet 1 the exigencies and demands of a
 world that, despite all that has been i accomplished by medical and engin- eering science, is still subject to ap- palling disasters. In our own coun- try, and around the entire circum ! ference of the globe, the Red Cross | is found responsive to cries of dis | tress and with promptitude it under takes the task of the hour, however difficult 1t may be.
 | There is no community so rich or so happily situated that 1t can con- | sider itself independent of the serv- ices of the Red Cro0. Disasters come upon us without warning and the prosperous and thriving city of | today is often the needy community of the morrow. Fire and flood, tor nado and pestilence. are no respecters of time or place. It behooves us all. therefore, to rally to the support of l this organization upon which We may
 be compelled to call in the hour of
 distress.
 Sunday, Nov. IS. 1921, has been
 designated and is to be observed as
 Red Cross Sunday, in connection with
 the annual roll call of this splendid
 organization, and I sincerely hope that the people of Arizona will, inso- far as they are financially able, SUD- port the Red Cross with contributions, thus enabling it to continue the very splendid work which it is doing for humanity all over the world THOMAS E. CAMPBELL. Governor Of Arizona.
