Red Cross Chapter S
Needs Are Greater,
Manager Asserts
Larger Enrolment
Necessary to Meet
Demands, Lund Says

Chapter activities in all phases of
Red Cross work have increased con-
siderably this year as result of last
years Red Cross Roll Call, Otto S.
Lund, District Red Cross Chapter
manager, asserted today in COM
menting on reports that this years
enrolment is tagging behind total
membership for the same period
in 1898.
"Only through large member
ship enrolment this year. he de-
0ared, can the chapter continue
this work"
Enrolment in the Red Cross
mounted to 51045 yesterday, ATT less

The Roll Call now only has seven
days left to achieve 40 per cent
increase in enrollments.
Edgar Morris, general chairman
of the Roll Call, pointed out that
the Washington Roll Call goal of
125,000 represents the greatest in
crease of any chapter quota in the
country. These quotas, he pointed
out, are determined by the extent
of services the chapters are required
to render in the coming year.
Describing these services, Mr..
Lund said, Service to veterans as
we'll as men with the time
forces and their families plays an
important part in the chapter. The
family work is done by well-quali-
fed workers. Volunteer case work
aides assist in this work. More
Than $1,000 a month is expended
for family relief of this type of
beneficiaries.

on the chapter since September l
in order to comply with requests
from the International Red Cross
Committee in Geneva. The commit
tee has requested garments and

Plans for Redwood Falls parti-

ton week activities will not be
announced until Monday, Fire
Chief Joseph M. Corbett stated
this week.
The city always observes the

several MONDAY parades of the

fire officials who also urge resi-
dents to make inspection of their
homes and business places for
fire hazards.
In proclaiming October 8-14 as

much of the loss of life and pro-
perry attributed to fires annually

contribution to that end in every
community.
