CALL WILL TAKE
PLACE ON NOV. 12

at Home Between 1 and
2 P. M.
WORKERS WILL CANVAS
Only One Hour Actually
to Be Devoted to the
Registering

Palatka's annual roll call for men,
bers of he Red Cross will take place
between the hours of 1 and 2 p. m.
| on Sunday November ~, it was de-
cided at meeting of the heads of
| the various committees yesterday af-
ternoon at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. What is known as the Pitts
burgh plan has been adopted, which
provides that the entire collection of
names for the register of membership
shall be put over in one hour.
All of the work of the campaign
will be organized like an army, the
chairman, Baynard Kendrick, who
will select ten corps commanders, and
these in turn will select captain for
each block in his territory. These
captains, with their workers will call
at every home in every block in the
city between the hours named, enroll
ing every member of the household
who will join.
The ministers of the city will an
nounce the plan from their pulpits
next Sunday and Sunday week, and
ask all to remain at home On Sunday,

when it is believed most people will
be at home. Each person who en-
rolls will be furnished with a certi-
ficate of membership, and a large
honor poster will be given where ev-
cry member of the family enrolls. The
enrolling price will be, as usual, one
dollar.
Between now and the time for the
roll call information as to how the |
money is to be used, what the Red
Cross is doing and what it stands
ready to do in Palatka and other ci-

places to tell Of the great work, and
it is expected that Putnam county
will do its share this year in carrying
on this great work.
Those who find it impossible to be
at home on Sunday, November IL, at
the hour named, can take out their
memberships on Friday, and they will
be provided with banner which they
can hang in a window, notifying the
workers that they have already poin-
ed.
