MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN
ANNUAL RED CROSS ROLL
l41 Have Subscribed In Oakland
and Community


This year there is widespread in
terest in the Red Cross membership
drive that recalls the enthusiasm of
war days. Everybody seems to real
ize that the poor and the unemployed
are facing a winter of hardships I'M
paralleled for many years.
1t is going to be an uphill struggle,
Involving many sacrifices from people
who have nothing to spare, to raise
the Red Cross membership to the goal,
yet many persons have already re-
sponded heroically. So far, reports
have been received only. from chair
men living in Oakland and vicinity. 1t
would be a great help if persons wish
ing to assist the good cause along
would hunt up authorized collectors
instead of laying the entire RESPONSE
bility of the "hunt" for Red Cross
dollars on the chairmen.. For instance,
Mrs. nellie Darby, Joseph Gender and
Mrs. Rachel j. Ashby didn't wait to be
asked, but offered their membership
dues to the county chairman without
reminder that the drive was on. I'm
solicited, Mrs. Anna Byrd mailed a
check from Sykesville, Md. Proba-
bly, others have done much the same
thing, but their names have not come
to the attention of the publicity chair
man.
People living on farms or in sparse
ly settled sections where 1t is diff
cult to solicit funds, are urged es-
pecially to send in their donations to
Mrs. E. z. Tower, Oakland, or to any
district chairman. Certificates of
membership, Red Cross buttons and
"signs" for home windows will be sent
to voluntary donors of dollar or
more.
In the Friendsville district Mrs. A.
B. Mason is chairman of the men,
bership committee.
