MUST SPEED UP
ROLL CALL WORK
Some Districts Doing Well
While Others are
Tagging Some

With half OF tho Red Cross an
nual rool call period over the
drive for both renewals and new
memberships is In a rather doubt
full condition. In other wards, some
Of the districts show splendid to-
tails In comparison to the final
figures Of last year while other
districts r tagging behind in the
race. ~
The best showing to date comes
from the Fourth ward team COM
posed OF members of the Business
and Professional Women's Club
with Miss Cora Wheeler in
charge, Up to date they have re-
ported a total OF $214.50 as
against the final total of $4,000
for the 1920 Roll Call. There's no
question about the enthusiasm and
activities OF Miss Wheeler and her
co-worker5 and it appears very
evident that tho Fourth Ward will
bd at the top Of the list II other
teams do not put on a lot OF
steam. before the campaign ends
Thanksgiving Day.
Eighth warders are following
close for honOrs up to date with
$3.50. 90 reported as against $685..
yeHrv Mrs: H. r. Rogers
and e. l.. Lively are sticking
tight to their work according to
reports received at campaign head
quarters and expect TO surpass
even last years excellent total be
fore thd last minute Of the drive
arrives. Especially good work Is
being done by tho F. L. Lively
Normal School sociology class,
comprised OF Misses Eltnor To-.
EFT, Lois Coyner. Anna Brogdono
vich, Mable Cunningham, Irene
Homer and Ruth Bonfield and
Massrs R. C. Leo and J. A. Bee.
Miss Virginia Hawkins, who also
is n member OF the class, is the
banner solicitor IN the city having
| SOS. 90 to her credit thus far.
The First Ward team looms IN
very well with S92.B0 to date
against SAG 90 for the entire cam
paign last ydar. Bailey Thomp
| son, chairman, and other First
Ward workers are going righ1
ahead Wnmindful OF weather and
| other conditions which have been
llandicaos this week and they OK
press every hope in the world t.
pile up quite rs many member
ships rs in 1920.
In the seventh &ard the returns
to date are not heavy but Dan
! Mauror, chairman, claims he has
| something up his sleiave for the
final days OF the drive and 10
| counted on to show a goodly tota'
in comparison to last year.
The third ward. in charge OF
MFRS. w. S. Meredith, has collect.
ed 500 90 with last years mark o.
| sec, 90 as their goal. The next few
days will probably iTacrcIlse the
present total by many more mem
berships.
One Of the most encouraging
features about the Roll Call SO
far is the fine total alrehdy re
ported from the sixth ward where
Miss Ruth Heintzelmnn and san
Iseman are going the rounds.
Their report show S26S.2 to date
against $50 90 for the entire roll
call period last year.
Nothing has been reported from
tho second and fifth words or from
the county chairman but 1t won't
be many days until they turn II
their scores.
Rod Cross booths Will remain
| oper Saturday until as late in the
evening as there are membership
possibilities on the streets and In
the various places Of business
where tho booths are stationed.
! Membership payments should he
mnde at the booths II a solicitor
has failed to call Mt your home.
