"The annual Red Cross mem
berShip roll call will be closed
Saturday" stated Mayor A. V.
Edwards, membership chairman,
today.
Mayor Edwards stated that un:
favorable weather had prevented
q cleanup before Saturday. He is
appealing to the workers to thor
oughly work their territory and
make final reports this week to
his office or that of Thos. IL.
Franks, general county chairman
of the local Red Cross organiza-
ton. :,
Mayor Edwards stated that it
was the desire of the workers to
cover the territory thoroughly,
but that if any section had been
overlooked he would appreciate
having such information with the
view to having it worked. some
of the workers have covered their
original territory and volunteered
for additional fields of work. May
or Edwards said he could use a
few new membership solicitors to
good advantage in winding up the
campaign. He said that it was inn
portant to cover the territory be-
cause the local funds were badly
needed for very meritorius work.
Half of the dollar memberships Is
retained for local use. A donation
of $25 was received during the
campaign, $24.50 of which will
remain here for local use.
