ENROLL AS Red CROSS MEMBER
LSAPPEAL TO DOUCLASPEOPLE
AS TWO DAY CAMP PAICN STARTS

Enroll as member of the Ameri-
can Red Cross today.
The foregoing briefly states the ap-
peal which is made to every citizen OF
Douglas and vicinity this morning by
the committee in charge of the annual
membership roll call for the gSeat
American organization which carries
relief and assistance to those in need
and distress in all sections of the world
The campaign for the new member
ship opens this morning. There will
be just two days given to that effort.
Those will be today and Monday
The aim of the workers directing
the effort is to set new high mark
for the Red Cross membership in the
Douglas district The workers believe
that fully 1000 people will gladly en-
roll under this splendid banner. The
membership fee is only one dollar, but
those who want to add to that amount
will know that every cent of their
contribution will go to proper cause
It has grown into a somewhat general
custom for business men to make their
checks for a sum sufficient to cover
membership for every member of their
family. Many make the amount a
substantial sum because they realize
that thessimportant. thing is to make
certain the Red Cross has money
enough on hand to carry on its, great
relief work successfully at all times
and to act promptly in cases Of emer-
gency.
When person gives his money for
a membership or memberships today
he will be given a button indicative Of
the fact that he has joined the great
army which composes the American
Red Cross That will be followed by a
membership card.
According to plans worked out by
Mrs. E. l. Agnew, chairman Of The roll
call workers, and Mrs. A. W. Cotton,
chairman of publicity for the cam
paign there will be workers stationed
at seven places in the city. There will
be four at G avenue and Tenth street,
one at each of the four corners, an
other at the Gadsden hotel, one at
Levy'S corner and one sat the post
office. 1t is the hope of the workers
that those who may not happen to
pass any one of the seven places noted
either today or on Monday, will have
the cause sufficiently at heart to mail !
a check to the Douglas Red Cross
chapter with the request to be en-
rolled as a member or to renew a
previously taken out
While the committee workers will
devote but the two days of effort to the
drive, the churches have
been invited to make Sunday Red !
Cross Sunday" in their program and
it is understood that this will be OBJ
served in some manner, either by SER
mon reference or otherwise. The Red
Cross movement has always enjoyed |
the cordial and unstinted support OF
church people everywhere.
