in your car for one or maybe two
more passengers? Wouldn't you
like to have that space filled by one
or two servicemen on Christmas
holiday furloughs-men who might
not get home at, all if it weren't for
private transportation? BY now
you've probably got some gas and
you're all set-so here's what you can
do s.. telephone the American Red
Gross, Republic $500, extension 50, tell
when and where you're going, the
route to be taken, the number of va
cant seats and the baggage room
you'll have in your car; also when
you're returning. The Red Cross
files this information carefully, looks
over the list OF servicemen who have
applied for transportation and finds
any whose needs coincide with your
schedule, gives him your name and
telephone number, and he contacts
you directly and together you make
the final arrangements.
This Going My Way" project
started last year about this same
time and was such = tremendous
success that the Red Cross Is re-
peating it this year. In charge Of
