EXTEND RED CROSS DRIVE
UNTIL LAST OF THE MONTH
Chairman Ygnacio Carbo-
nell Makes Announces
menl; Point To Local
Phases

The local Red Cross Fund
Drive will be extended until the
last of the month according to an
announcement by Ygnacio Car
bonnell, campaign chairman and
Mrs. Opan VanDuersen, local
chapter head. 1t was decided to
extend the campaign in order to
secure more contributions. AS has
been announced previously the
goal is $4,000. 1t is imperative
that the entire amount be raised
to make possible the increased
demands on the local chapter and
on the Red Cross nationally and
internationally.
If there are any questions or
if the contributions are to be
called for please phone 1856.
Mr.. Carter of Atlanta, Georgia
in a recent speech in Key West
to Red Cross workers, pointed
out the fact that the Red Cross
is local. 1t is financed and direct
ed by local citizens. The local
chapter has the privilege Of de
termining, within certain limits
what shall be done. Key West,
situated as it is in an Naval and
hurricane area, has great de-
mands.
Rather than decreasing, the
work of the local chapter is in
creasing. The work with service
personnel and veterans alone is
tremendous job.
Key West must support the
local program. Your contribu-
tons make possible the Continu-
ance of the good work.
