The Duluth Chapter of the Red Gross
OF which Ely is one of the % branches
is seeking to enroll $4,000 members be-
fore the completion of the drive and it
was indicated that in order to carry the
years program to a successful compile
ton, every unit must do it's utmost to
get the full quota of members. In
speaking of the enrollments. Mr..
Strachan said:
We sincerely hope that many citi-
zens will consider carefully the possib-
lhtieS OF enrolling in one of the higher
classes OF membership, either the con-
trlbuting at SIS, the sustaining at $40, or
the supporting at $25. There is also
another type of membership that is
very worthwhile, the family member
ship, under which every member of the
family takes out a membership. Re

only so cents of each is RENTED to our
national organization, so that those who
enroll in other than the annual group
may feel assured that virtually all of
the money will be used for projects by
our chapter.
We have a tremendous task before
us. The load of the home service Is
growing every day, there viii be even
greater quantities of flour to be dis
trlbuted, and were it not for the feeling
that the women are responding most
generously to our appeals for aid, the
production and distribution of the gar
ments which will be made from the cot
ton cloth in this branch, that phase OF
the work would be overwhelmingly ap-
pall1ng. But we do feel that just as the
volunteers in the branch have come for
ward during the past year to help us In
the solution of these problems, they win
respond again. We feel, too, that every
one who can will enroll"
