boring streets on both side of First
avenue are mostly occupied by dwell
ing houses with here and there an anti
quated tenement. Those tenement
houses, with their small rooms and
narrow Railways, cramped. poorly
lighted and hardly fit abiding places
even for their present occupants, could
be made over into large and airy duplex
apartments and the few commercial
buildings in the region could be torn
down and residences built in their
places.

RED CROSS WILL
ENROLL MEMBERS
Engaged in Tremendous Relief
Task As Il Enters Annual
Roll Call Nov. II
PEACE ACTIVITIES CONTINUE
Maintenance of Strength in Mem
bership and Funds for Local
: Service Essential

The American Red Cross viii enter
its sixth annual Roll Call, November
uth to Both, to enroll members for
the coming year, engaged in the great
est relief task it has undertaken since
the World War-the succor of more
than half a million homeless, desti-
tute refugees who have fed their
homes and migrated from Asia Minor
and Thrace into Greece and adjacent
European territory to escape Turkish
rule.
The Red Cross had, up to November
LIST, expended nearly one million dol
lars for this relief work an amount
believed sufficient to provide for the
immediate, temporary needs of the
refugee army, until Vice Chairman A.
Ross Hill, head of the newly organized
Red Cross Commission to Greece, can
complete a survey and inform Nation
al Headquarters what further expend-
itures VIII probably be necessary.
The Red Cross Chapters in New
England and throughout the country
are rapidly collecting and preparing
used clothing for shipment to- Greece
IOr QlSCrIDulOn Dy the commission,
and are calling in their volunteer
forces to make garments, particularly
for women and babies.
IN KEEPING WITH CHARTER
Thus the American Red Cross is
meeting this disaster crisis, in keep
ing with it's charter obligations and
the request of the President, so far
as it relates to the European Near
East and will continue the task until
it is completed.
Meantime, from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving, Chapters throughout
the United States will carry on the
Roll Call, inviting every American to
join his Red Cross for another year
of service. In the New England Divi-
sion every one of the $50 Chapters,
and their Branches, viii conduct a
Roll Call by some method, many of
them planning to send their volunteer
forces from home to home, to make it
as simple as possible for the people to
join. The indications are that the
present membership in the New Eng
land Division will be retained and
possibly increased.

TWO PHASES OF ROLL CALL

''The Roll Call presents two dis
tinct phases, membership and funds
for local service says Arthur G.
Rotch, Manager of the New England
Division. "The American Red Cross
is a volunteer society chartered by
Congress to Elieve and prevent suf-
fering in peace and war. The very
nature OF its charter obligation calls
for very large membership to give
that moral force and potential ability
necessary TO cope with the unheaval
of war and the ever-present emer-
gencies of peace. The membership Is
the basis of the Red Cross. The vast
majority of members are annual mem
bers,' who pay $1.00 a year for their
membership. They are the minute
men and women, the greatest proved
reserve for relief the world ever saw.
This reserve should be maintained at
the highest level possible.
GAS money left from war days has
been depleted by the increasing and
essential peace time activities in COM
munities many Chapters find they are
unable to finance present and needed
Chapter work from the Chapter share
of mem bership fees alone. The Chap
tiers have, therefore, the necessity of
requesting additional funds in order
to serve their communities effectively.
1.-THE peace activities, authorized by
charter and approved by the Central
Committee, include, as primary obi
cation, service to the disabled veter-
ans of the World War and to the Army
and Navy, home service to civilian
families, public health nursing and
other health activities, instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick,
49,
vice and Junior Red Cross.
VALUE OF PREPAREDNESS
"And now we are, Unexpectedly,
facing the new and terrible calamity
n the Near East We have agreed to
do our share to meet the situation,
which means that the Red Cross will
deal with the emergency in Europe,
where for the most part the refugees
have been driven, and the Near East
Relief will continue as heretofore to
operate in Asia, dealing with such
emergency as exists there in addition
20 it's regular work.
"The President has announced an
appeal for a special Near East Emer-
gency Fund. to be made during our
Red Cross Roll Call. to finance the
relief work in the Near East. The
R0Q cross mas ALREADY 0Xpenueu OF
committed itself to expenditures of
| s78O,200, and more. probably much
more, will be needed. This money we
must ask for during our Roll CAN.
"The disaster at the eastern end
of the Mediterranean makes very clear
| the Importance of maintaining a Red
Cross organization here at home pre-
pared through it's strength in mem
bership and funds to meet such crises
as this.
I'VE ask the people to join the Red
| Cross, to contribute to the mainte-
| nance of Red Cross service by their
| local organizations, and to help make
| possible the huge emergency task
to which we have been called over
seas, on the successful accomplish
| ment of which thousands of lives de-
! pend"
