FALLS CHURCH.

FALLS CHURCH. Va, December 5
Especially D.-Reports from the can
vaSSers in the annual Red Cross roll call
here indicate that Falls Church is MAX
ing a much better record than many
other places.
In spite of the facts that many resi-
dents are employed in Washington
and pay their dues there. and in the
recent Japanese disaster the town
doubled its quota, the present drive
is not going to be a failure.
Last year the roll call netted $252
To date s217 has been collected this
year. In the Japanese relief drive
the townSpeople raised S50165, and a
Washington man who formerly lived
here and is a member of Columbia
Baptist Church sent a check for s100
to national headquarters and asked
that it be credited to the Falls Church
chapter.
This would make the total amount
S6O1.65, whereas the quota assigned
the town was $500.
Half Of the roll call fund goes to
headquarters and half is kept for
town use, being apportioned among
committees as deemed advisable by
the executive committee. This year
there have been four committees,
home service, health. Junior Red
Cross and disaster. Home service
and Junior Red Cross funds have been
used, the latter in supplying first aid
and playground equipment for the
school.
The health committee is arranging
to have available some of the most
necessary things in cases of sickness
In homes where such equipment is
not available.
The roll call workers this year have
been Mrs. +. H. Eastman, Mrs. Harry
Moran, Mrs. Walter Jewell. Mrs. S.
