The annual roll call for membership
in the Red Cross has been the con-
Stunning object of interest in Ta1la-
hasse this week. DIR. f. Clifton Moor
as chairman Of the drive. has been
ably assisted by strong committees and
by the Woman's club as whole. Leon
county is very anxious to excel all pre-
viousz records, inasmuch as the contin@
uance of the services of a Red Cross
community nurse is largely dependent
on the success of this campaign. Miss
L. Rose Myer has had this work in
hand during the past year, and the
splendid results she has obtained could
hardly be measured in dollars and cents.
Her delightful personality has made her
universally beloved, and every hope is
entertained for the possibility of keep
ing her in the community.
