Support OF Drive.

Urging support of the Red Cross be-
cause Of its big part in sustaining
morale" Harvey D. Gibson, former
chairman of the Emergency Relief
Committee of New York, today sent a
statement to Chairman John Barton
Payne encouraging the membership
drive now being conducted in Wash
ington and other cities.
At the same time. the local chapter
of the Red Cross announced the loca-
tions and chairmen Of its auxiliary en-
rollment booths here.
Two Obiectives Noted.
Mr.. Gibson's statement. said in part:
Because have witnessed here in
New York the practical results of Red
Cross work. I take the liberty to sug-
gest that if Red Cross membership
throughout the country can hold the
line, or exceed its previous wears marx
of 100000 members, two happy
things will be accomplished
First, this support will insure en-
thusiastic alertneSs on the part of
3,70o chapters throughout the nation;
and second, it will serve to lift the
morale of our people through reaSsur-
ing them that benevolence. supported
by private gifts, carrying with it the
spiritual good wishes and sympathy of
all of our people. still plays an impor-
tant part In the life of our nation
Il think that money given to the
Red Cross certainly goes as far if not
farther. perhaps, than through any
other channel. A membership in the
Red Cross has always paid dividends
far out of proportion to the money in
volved"
