Mr.. Yergey briefly outlined
the purpose and aims of the
Red Cross and the work before
it in a statement as follows:
Throughout their entire his
tory, Americans have hoped fol
"a warless world and a lasting
peace, and as a people we still
cherish these hopes. But the
gigantic struggles going on In
the world today have blasted
our aspirations, and while not
at war. we are going through
times that try mems SOULS
$50 today, on the eve of the
drive. I want to call attention
to one of the most important
sentries the American Red
Cross. You and I need the Red
Cross more than ever this year,
and the Red Cross needs you
more than ever.
"Of primary importance is the
Red Cross program in its work
With the army. navy. marine
corps and coast guard. Last
year, the Red Cross field dir
ectors aided $4,000 service men
solve al kinds of perplexing di-
lemas.
"Now, with the call to train
ing quarters of a million men.
the work of the Red Cross will
have to be greatly expanded and
each adult man and wife can
best help by Joining during the
roll call.
"And of first Importance is
our local health work, the
checking and examining of pre-
school and school children. the
daily supervision with its exam
nations, clinics, suggestions and
instructions and training, with
medical help on the follow-up
program where help Is needed.
There is also the constant guard
against communicable diseases.
Big Horn county is proud to
maintain a full-time health
service"
Money from membership fees
is used for domestic purposes
A part is retained in the coun-
tY where it is received, and a
part is sent to national head
quarters for general use such
as disaster relief and similar
purposes. None of this member
ship money goes for war relief
War needs of the Red Cross are
taken care of by a direct wal
relief appeal which is not a
part of the membership drive.
