BATES MAKES REPORT
ON RED CROSS WORK
Continued from Page one)

would attend to the house to house
canvass.
Mr.. Demeritt then called for
volunteers to canvass business
houses and the following mem
bers volunteered: v. A. johnson,
Joe Valdes, S. Cabrera, Andy
Miller, w. w. Demeritt, w. L.
Bates. They were given zoned
sections.
It was decided that Mr.. De-
merritt would take care of all gov
eminent employees; Mr.. Miller
would look after the P. and o.
boats. Other members who had
volunteered were to take other Sec
tions as zoned.
A complete list of all who joined
the Red Cross this year and
amount paid is herewith given.
Regarding Canvass
The Junior Woman's Club in
formed Mrs. Grace B. Phillips that
beginning the new year members
of this club would make a house
to house canvass, also call on such
business places that put off the
Rotary members when they
called.
Mr.. Bates calls attention to the
fact that there was only one sup
porting membership for $25 re-
ceived; two sustaining member
ships at $40, and only one lodge
or society that made donation of
SIS and two donations of So and
one of So were received. Then
there were eight contributing
members who paid SIS each, and
only three business houses that
opened their hearts and took a
contributing membership.
The treasurer states that those
who contributed seemed of the
opinion that one dollar was all
necessary to keep the office open
and to operate the chapter. That
when an individual joins and pays
his dollar membership, such a
member is doing his duty, but, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bates, he thinks a
business house should do little
more, and if these business places
would ask their employees to join.
it would help greatly.
1t is suggested that everyone
go over the list carefully and if
his or her name does not appear,
call any member of the commit
tee, and their membership will be
called for.
Mr.. Bates expressed surprise
that there were only four from the
customs service listed on the cards
turned in by Mr.. Demeritt.
AS treasurer of the local chap
ter, Mr.. Bates promises to publish
from time to time, names of those
who have taken out memberships
in the local chapter.
