Some figures given by Mrs. Gray
show the need Of large membership
this coming year. During the past
year the National Red Cross has ex-
pended 10000, 900 aiding the wounded
and needy soldiers and their families.
As there was only s7,OOO,OOO subscrio-
ell last year thru the Roll Call, there
was deficit of $3,OOO,O0O Which was
paid by using the reserve fund of the
organization. There will be a greater
need for more money this year, as
the number of tuberculosis and ner-
vous breakdown cases are increasing
at an alarming rate. The Red Cros,;
has been working with the govern
ment bureaus, giving aid that will
cut "red tape" so that immediate as
sistance can be given in the desperate
cases.
The officers of the local chapter are
planning to launch the Roll Call on
Armistice Day, details Of which will
be made upblic later. The National
organization viii send Representatives:

FIGHT AGAINST HIGH RATES,

A fight against high freight
rates has begun in congress, led by
Congressman Paul B. Johnson, of
the Sixth Mississippi District, who
has just introduced a bill in con-
gress to repeal Section 15-A of the
Interstate Commerce Act as a.
mended by Section 422 of the
Transportation Act of 1920. This
measure, if enacted into law,
will put the rates back at what
they were before the increase by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
In speaking of the bill, Con-
gressman Johnson said that high
freight rates had brought a stag
nation of business in the country (;
that business men are afraid to
invest their money; that the coun-
try is short several million homes
on account of the high transper-
tation charges on lumber; that
millions of bushels of wheat, corn
and other products could hardly
bring the cost of transportation
after reaching the markets.
The railroads have been given
$631, 100000 by the government
and now SEX half million more,
said Mr.. Johnson. He character
lied these loans as "raids upon the
treasury of the people"
In concluding, the Congressman
said:
"Mr. Chairman: 1t has been de-
monstrated throughout this con-
gress that the burden is not going
to be lifted from the shoulders of
the masses. Every effort on the
part of this congress tends to in
crease the burdens of the masses
and relieve the rich of their just
share of the taxes. The longer
this congress is in session the
worse it will be for the country.
Let us revise the tax laws equita-
bly,, reduce the freight rates, adj
journ this congress and go home
to stay for while. IF we do this,
it will rebound to the welfare of
the people of the country"

Interest Voiced in
Proposed Community
Choral Organization

All men and women Of South Bend
who nave had any experience in
chorus singing, are invited to the
first rehearsal of the community
chorus which is to be organized at
the recital hall of the South Bend
conservatory on Friday evening of
this week.
In extending this invitation, Mrs.
Olive Maine, who mas undertaken TO
rehearse and direct the chorus. made
ii plain that this is TO be purely a
community organization and that
technical training is not at all re-
CURED. For immediate purposes, the
chorus is to be limited TO so MEM
berS.
The idea Of organizing the chorus
which was first preached publicly on
Wednesday evening, has aroused
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1921-11-04

considerable interest already, and it
is expected that the attendance at
the first rehearsal on Friday evening
will be large. Sponsors Of the idea
recalled that a few years ago there
existed in South Bend a choral or
ganizatiOn with a membership num-
bering into the hundreds. and the
present chorus is aimed eventually
TO develop into an organization o.
this kind.
I'VE certainly hope no one wiz
stay away from the first rehearsal
on Friday evening. who has any in
terest in choral work" said Mrs
Maine Thursday. AT this time the
voices will be tried and placed, the
music distributed and work will
really begin on the number which is
to be presented with the South Bend
Symphony Orchestra at the High
School auditorium on Nov. 81"
