To Be Held in March

A goal Of tl25 5,ooo. 900 for the 1913
Red Cross War Fund was announced

Mr.. Davis pointed out that the
war fund goal is based on realistic
estimates" the sum to cover local,
national and international war
time needs for one year, barring
unforeseen emergencies or disasters.
"Of the total goal" he explained,
"$45 .000, 900 Is the sum required by
Red Cross chapters to finance their
indispensable needs and their ever
increasing local work on behalf of
men in the service. The remain
der. 10000 900, will 60 to the ma
tional organization, which, however,
required 100000, 900 to finance its
national and international program.
The difference will be met by bal
ance of $20,000,00 from the first
war fund Of 1912, which will be ap-
piled to the 1943 budget"
The campaign will combine the
needs of the war fund with that of
the customary annual rollcall OF the
Red Cross, which was not held last
