 ON RED CR0SS WAR FUND DRIVE

| A proclamation, issued today by Gov. Ernest Gruening, and attesJed to by Lew Nj. Williams, Secretary of Alaska, regarding the coming American Red Cross War Fund drive, is as follows:
 In dark, war-torn world, one bright emblem has emerged as a symbol of mercy the Red Cross The emblem signifies civilian army of mercy whose services to our armed forces abroad, to vet eians and families here at home, are an amending story.
 Tn wartime and in peace, this civilian army's battle is continually being fought. There is no con ceivable turn this war can take which will lessen to any great degree the responsibilities of this army, the work of the American Red Cross. In fire, famine, tornado, flood, the Red Cross is ready with emergency relief, shelter, food, clothing and rehabilitation pro- grams for the destitute. To fight tthe battle of injury and disease, the Red Cross has expanded to mann moth degree it's home nursing, nurse recruitment, first aid, nutri- ton, and disaster service. The Red Crcss has saved the lives of count less wounded through it's blood donor service.
 ! To fight the battle of loneliness and anxiety, the Red Cross has stationed many thousand men and women with our fighting forces at home and abroad. Red Cross club workers provide entertainment and relaxation to servicemen on leave Red Cross hospital workers admin ister to the sick and wounded. Through it's Home Service program, the Red Cross assisted $500 ser vicemen and families last year. Re- lief to prisoners of war and to refugees in occupied countries is another manifestation of Red Cross mercy.
 The month Of March has been
 set aside for this annual appeal tc i the nation. urge all people of
 Alaska to give generously, for only l through your volunteer contribu- tions can the American Red Cross
 continue it's great work GIVE lNOW-GIVE MOREi"
