In a plea to all persons in Seattle
who have not yet been reachd by
Red Cross drive workers to send in
their contributions directly to Red

this was the only way the Seattle

goal of 100000 could be reached
without a lengthy continuation of
The campaign.
The drive was scheduled for the
month of March, but with the
goal not achieved, Red Cross
workers are planning to continue
the campaign until each person
in the districts assigned to them
had been contacted.
Our hard working volunteers, "
Moore said, have made a valiant
attempt to thoroughly cover their
districts, but in many instances the
workers have not been able to find
anyone at home, even with as ma
ny as three or four return calls.
More calls will be made, for we
must reach the goal set for us
Red Cross services mean too much
to too many for us to fail.
IF those who have not yet donat-
ed would send in their contribu-
tons, bearing in mind that all Red
Cross services-like everything else
cost twice as much to maintain
now as before the war, we would
go over the top in a. short while"
