Asks for Aid.


chairman, issues the following state
ment:
81 appeal to you to help the Red
Cross. We are far behind. Our quota
is $3.50 and thus far we have $62.25;
considerably less than half. To those
who have not given, we ask, won't
you please give what you can? To
those who have given we express
our thanks and though we hate to, we
ask if you will give more if you can.
If you gave 81 and can spare one
more, won't you do so? This has
been the hardest of any we have ever
had to raise. We simply must not
fail. Send your contribution in, or
leave it at any business place. This
is the last chance I will have to ap-
peal to you and I do appeal now.
Won't you help, please?"
