Lack OF Goal In
Chapter Means
End OF Services

First reports from the Madison
County Red Cross fund drive are
not pleasant according to Chapter
Chairman Murray Lohr and Fund
Drive Chairman Walter Allison.
Indications are that the drive may
fall short of the final goal of So
GOA set at the beginning of the eff
forts. 1t was also pointed out that
more than half Of the amount
would be spent in Madison County,
plus any other needed services.
In pointing out the need for the
contributions, Lohr pointed to the
Red Cross Blood program, which
costs the county chapter about ST.
400 each year, for the local visits
and the chapters share in operat-
ing the Regional Center in Colurn-
bus. Lohr emphasized the need to
reach the goal so that none of the
Chapter services will have to be
curtailed.
In listing the services rendered
by the local Chapter Of the Red
Cross, Lohr said they provide dis
aSter service, services to the Arm
ed Services and families of service
men, Blood services, nursing serv-
ice, First Aid Training and service,
Water Safety Training and serv-
ices, Community services, Interna-
tional services and Junior Red
Cross Services. He emphasized
that the services are voluntary,
making possible the custom of
"neighbor helping neighbor"
In some areas, contributions have
been exceptionally slow, and in
others house to house collections
have been gratifying, according to
the report. Lohr said contributions
are still being accepted, and may
be given to any district represen-
tative or mailed directly to the
Madison County Chapter, The
American Red Cross, Courthouse
London, Ohio.
Last years continued work by
the chapter was made complete
only through a contribution made
in a viii by an outstanding com.
munity leader. So far, the contri.
buttons total less than ten per cent
of the amount actually needed fol

vers, tails like opossums, front
paws like monkeys and back feet
webbed like ducks.
The space required for growing
the animals is very small, with
four living comfortable in a 7 by
Is foot pen. They have very little
trouble with health problems, being
immune to practically every dis
ease. They will take pneumonia.
They are very attractive in their
habits and living activities, but
are judged most attractive when
fashioned into coats, stoles, coll
ars and other accessories to aid

America possesses an abun-
