"It isn't surprising" Mrs. Aspin-
wall went on, that the workers
themselves want to contribute as
generously as they do. They know
how much good this money can and
does do. They hear it directly from
the men themselves at the report

week. We have wonderful group
of men and women on our teams, /"
she said. They are, of course, all
volunteers and they give not only
their time, but their money as we'll.
And do I admire those volunteers

for contributions" she added. They

Have you made your contribution
to the Red Cross yet? And If so,
have you given just as much as you
can possibly afford? Perhaps you'll
say you couldn't afford as much this
year-everything has gone up in
price and with the increased taxes,
ETC., you're sorry but you just
couldn't increase your contribution.
Well, now, just listen to these rea-
sons why you MUST increase your
contribution! The Red Cross oper-
ates not only in times of war but
in peacetimes as we'll Added to
the regular burden of domestic needs
and disasters that may come to us
right here at home such as floods,
train wrecks, enormous fires, ETC.,
are the war needs of our fighting
men throughout the world. These
home obligations cannot be dropped !!
These war needs must be met if you
and I want our sons and our hus-
bands and our brothers to come
back to us.
Whenever you buy yourself a new
dress or a new hat or something
pretty for your house just think
what even a portion of that money
will do if it's given to the Red Cross.
Do you know that even after blood
contribution has been given there
is the expense of preparing and stor-
ing and shipping the plasma, which
amounts to about $5 for each pint
of blood? Wouldn't you give IS if
you knew that that SIS might be the
means of saving a mans life? Well,
there is no more direct way of saving
a life than by giving to the Red
Cross right now.
Yesterday afternoon we sat before
an open fire in the drawing room of
the Clarence ASpinwalls' house and
talked to Mrs. Aspinwall, who is
captain of one of the special gift
teams for the Red Cross War Fund
drive.
Isn't 1t difficult to ask people for
money!" We asked her.
In the beginning. yes" said Mrs.
Aspinwall, sit is. But as you 60
along you have a feeling that is
almost that of going into battle.
You know the Red Cross needs that
money. You know all the wonder
full things the Red Cross does with
that money and you realize it's up
to you TO help get it!'
