FINAL ROUNDUP
4. c. MEMBERSHIP.

An eleventh hour squirt is being
made this week to swell the mem
bership roll OF the Red Cross by
the committee in charge. Mes
danes B. O. Strachan, o. W. Park
err, H. e. White, Charles Quigley,
Harry Berg, w. e. Trezona, E. c..
Jones and Peter Schaefer are in
charge of the ron call in Ely and
report fair results.
The committee will not be able
to see and talk to each individual
personally. Should they miss you,
send in your dollar to any of the
above and have your name enrolled
in the greatest institution In the
world.
The Red Cross. functions at all
times and il the first on the ground
m case OF q disaster. One-haf OF
every 800 membership to the Red
Cross il sent to the National organi-
zstion for national and international
relief.
Four disasters in the middle west
in Montana, Wisconsin, Illinois and
South Dakota have called for Red
Cross relief during the past year.
In foreign fields the Red Cross
has assumed the responsibility of
giving aid to the Grecian refugees
fleeing from the Turkish terror in
Smyrna and in Thrace. It is said
today that there are million and
half Of these refugees who are de-
pendent for life itself upon the
charity Of the American Red Gross.
Following the earthquake \ Chile
and the offer of help from Presi-
dent Harding to the President of
Chile, the American Red Cross has
cabled $4,000 for immediate re-
lief Of the earthquake victims. Re-
ports coming in every day from the
Mediterranean area. in Greece where
thousands were driven out by Turk
ish atrocities and also from Chilean
territory where we entered with re-
lief, emphasize the general disaster
work Of the Red Cross.
It is estimated by Walter David
son, manager Of the Central Divi-
sion at Chicago, that the American
Red Cross is called upon once a
week to take care Of disasters and
these two above facts illustrate
the most recent international under
taking of this kind. Next week a
disaster might occur in Iowa, Wis
consin, or somewhere else.
To perpetuate community insur-
ance against calamity is one of the
purposes Of the Annual Roll Call
now in progress and millions of the
American people are demonstrating
their serious interest by renewing
their memberships. Let US there
fore not fail to renew our member
ships with the organization that is
30 well prepared to meet disasters,
both national and international.

will be considered.
Efforts are being made to ar
range for the holding of meetings
of the Minnesota Game Protective
Association and the Minnesota State
Forestry Association in Duluth in
connection with the meeting of the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association. Problems of mutual
interets to the different associations
are scheduled for consideration.
Among these questions are game
conservation and prevention of for
est fires. Representatives of the
three associations hope to work out
cooperative program through
which Minnesota's visitors as well
as the citizens of the state will be
included to save game and fish and
minimize the danger of forest fires.
Means of inducing larger num-
bers to utilize the great outdoor re-
creational facilities of the state will
be considered. The committee in
charge of plans for the meeting

are being made to obtain a speaker

estry or fish and game conservation.
Announcements of the meeting
have been sent out to all summer

tions in the state. All persoss in
terested in the recreational develop
ment of the state are urged to at

AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES

The number of persons killed in
this country in automobile accidents
in 1921, will it is believed be close to
$4,000. This is only a part of the
havoc done by reckless use of ma
chimes. Many people suffer serious
injuries and some are crippled for life
The automobile is a wonderful
power for good. 1t has cheapened
transportation, It has saved time, it
enables people to live in pleasant
neighborhoods yet work in crowded
sections. Yet when you turn this
instrument of speed loose OH the high
ways, you put a terrific power in the
hands of all kinds Of people.
Under an ideal system Of govern
ment, the persons who are to operate
automobiles would be subject TO close
examination and\ inspection. Not
merely would their original COM
petence be considered but their mental
habits and driving methods would be
subject to severe inquiry. A man who
was discovered running his machine
at high rate of speed, would be
promptly reported, and his license
would be taken away from him for an
extended period or perhaps perman-
emily.
But the American people are tre-
mendously good natured. Every day
almost they see some one who is Vio-
lating the spirit of the law. But to
report that person would involve some
bother. They feel it might force
them to appear in the matter person.
ally, possibly having to go to court to
give testimony. So they weakly and
tolerantly overlook the violation and
nothing is done.
The police and courts can not alone
check the evil of reckless driving. The
officers of the law can not be every
where at once. To get the law en-
forced and make the streets safe, the
public must cooperate. People must
be willing to make complaints when
they observe reckless acts, If they
could do that so frequently that
speeders would constantly find them
selves in hot water the number of
automobile fatalities and injuries
would see a speedy decline.
