Reduced

The Commissioners of Hartford
county, in special session on Thurs
day, fixed the tax rate for 1941 at
$1.10 for County property and 88c
on County property within the limits
of the three towns. This means a
reduction of sc from this year. The
decrease in the tax rate was made
possible by the slight increase in
assessments and the curtailment in
certain expense items.
Hartford county's finances are in
excellent shape and the new tax rate
will maintain its position among the
low tax rate counties of the state.

Red Cross Drive For
Membership
Citizens OF Cecil County Are
Urged To Support This
Worthy Cause

Monday, November 18th, marks
the beginning of the annual Roll
Call drive in Cecil county. AS I
ask you to support this cause, it is
with a thankful heart that we are
living in a country where we can
still give and where we are not
tormented with the thought that we
must receive in order to have a bare
subsistence for ourselves and our
children.
Sometime during the next two
weeks, our workers will attempt to
contact everyone of you for your
enrolment in this great organiza-
ton. Conditions abroad and our own
national defense program necessi-
tates our doubling this year the
quota we have previously raised.
That means that you and l will
each have to do a bit better than we
did last year and If, by chance, you
did not enroll last year, that your
enrolment is necessary.
The Red Cross organization can
use your smallest contribution and
your largest one. Contributions less
than dollaf will not entitle you to
membership but will be the means
of your participation in small way.
You may enroll as member for one
dollar or for any sum no matter how
large. If you are fortunate enough
to be able to give more than a dol
lar, you will be interested to know
that just fifty cents of the amount
will go to the national Red Cross or
ganization and that the remainder
will remain in this county for Red
Cross work here.
We are asking manufacturing
firms and business establishments
to cooperate this year by enrolling
their employees one hundred per
cent and by placing proudly in their
windows the 1909 Roll Call stick
ers.
At the bottom of this article is a
graph showing the place Cecil Coun-
ty has in Red Cross enrolment as
compared with other counties Of
this state in proportion to their popu-
lation. You will observe that oar
percentage Of membership IL low,
and hope that this year every one
OF you will endeavor to improve
that rating and by SO doing help keep
alive in your own heart and in the
world the spirit of Americanism
which has always been to serve hui
mainly wherever the cry Of human
ity may be heard.
