| Universal s I Membership Is j i Herslbey's Goal 1 Jc Fixing quotas has been such a familiar feature of* pre- X | vious campaigns, whether to sell Liberty Bonds or to raise'* 3 1 welfare and relief funds, that the failure to assign a quota « E to Hershey in the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call is arous- ;g I ing discussion. ijj a The reason given by the local Red Cross Branch is « S logical . The Red Cross now is so widely known and so 3 * strongly approved that the goal of the Christmas Roll Call- g I is nothing short of "Universal |Membership." In other It words, the census figures will be Hershey's quota, as they § » will be for the whole nation. . J 5 The week of December 16-23 will see this apparently v E formidable task accomplished, because there will be . an *• ft eager spirit of co-operation. More than 22,000,00.0 present K f members in the United States will answer "Here," and it is % \ the hope of the Red Cross War Council that treble or quad- J g ruple that number will join and so permit a Christmas Eve s £ cable to Europe that the American people are solidly he- » % hind the Red Cross spirit. 8 £ The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call is not an effort to * % raise money, and no one in Hershey will Be asked for ' con- I w tributions. The annual membership duel amount to only \ » one dollar. \ f t Hershey undoubtedly has as many dollars] for the Red f f Cross as there are adults in its population; t 1 fetttt ra «<£«*^<&&££^M&&££&f ^^ No family in Hershey should.be con-tent to display a Service Flag with only one cross. There should be added a small Red Cross .for each member of the family. The aim is to enroll families 100 per cent.

Esbenshade. I. I learn with much interest of the effort g you are making through your publication I to stimulate interest in the membership I for the American Red Cross. This work I is, indeed, a most worthy one. I The good work done by the American £ Red Cross in administering not only to the wounded on the field of conflict , but to the distressed in all walks of civil life, has been of such a pronounced benefit that I believe every citizen will willingly r become a member by contributing the i; membership fee, as well as a little effort, i and thus do much to continue the good work. You have my best wishes in this noble work.—W. F. R. Murrie. Do you remember a poster of abouf^ year ago? A woman in Red Cross uni-form, with all tenderness in her face, holding a wounded soldier lad, battered almost past belief. The poster was called "The Greatest Mother of Them All." To me that typi-fies all I could say of that wonderful in-stitution, The Red Cross. The war now is over, but suffering hu-manity is paying the frightful penalty. The Red Cross, still the tender Mother, moves on and on, and by her care and . God-inspired meroy, strives to bring back hope and faith once more to broken and bleeding hearts. God bless the Red Cross!—-Ezra F. . Hershey. There are certain psychological condi-tions absolutely essential to the making of good soldiers, (a) A worthy cause for which to fight; (b) the assurance of proper support by those remaining at home; (c) positive assurance that those dependent upon them for support are properly pro-vided for ; (d) positive knowledge of the extraordinary sacrifices of the "home guards;" (e) confident that the physical needs will be supplied as necessity de-mands. Of these the one last named is by no means of least importance. The American Army has demonstrated its effectiveness in every way. The mor-ale of our army was well nigh perfect. For this the American Red. Cross Society is mostly responsible. No one can fully estimate the good done by this Society. 1 - As our men return from the front they sing the praises of the A'. R. C. Any con-tribution given to this purely humane society merits the rewards of the Master when He said : Whosoever shall give to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto ye, he shall in no wis:- lose his reward.—R. R. Butterwick. Without question Hershey will mam-tain her reputation for going "over the top" in the approaching Red Cross Drive. The need is so great, the work so wide reaching and the organization and meth-ods so complete and effective, that every one is drawn almost instinctively to its hearty support. Any one need only pic-ture one of the multitude of cases of dire need that is constantly being so efficiently met, as found next door to his own home, or as meeting his own wounded boy on the battle field , to give with willing heart and generous hand, up to the required average, not only, but to the fu1! measure of his ability. May the good news of Hershey's ap-portionment, plus—at least up to her most generous proportionate surplus yet recorded, greet us in these coming days. Every normal American should be a mem-ber of the Red Cross —Rev. R.[H. Taylor. "The only leaven in this darkTpicture of war as I have seep it,- as it has touched me, has been the scarlet of the Red Cross. To a faith that the terrible scenes at the front had almost destroyed, came every now and then again the flash of tjie em-blem of mercy. Hope, then was not dead. There were hands to sooth and labour, as well as hands to kill. There was still brotherly love in the world. There was a courage that was not of hate." There was a patience that was not a lying in wait. There was a flag that was not of one nation, but of all the world; a flag that needed no recruiting station, for the ranks it led were always full to overflow-ing; a flag that stood between the wounded soldiers and death ; that knew no defeat but surrendered to the will of the God of Battles."—Quoted from Kings, Queens and Pawns. (Mary Roberts Rinehart). I Why We Should Enroll to Christmas Roll Call- At a meeting of the Hershey Red Cross on Tuesday evening, an organization was affected in order to render all possible help to sufferers from the present epidem-ic of influenza in this district. For this purpose the town has been divided into districts, for each of which a captain has been appointed to whom all requests for assistance, where necessary in cases of sickness, should be addressed. These divisions, together with the names of the captains follow : West Chocolate Ave., From Center Square West to Implement Ware-house.— Mrs. Cain. East Chocolate Ave.—Mrs. J. E. Snyder. Caracas Ave.—Mrs. Ross Esbenshade. Cocoa Ave.—Mrs. H. N. Herr. Granada Ave.—Mrs. Rhoads. Araba Ave.—Mrs. Whittle. West Chocolate Ave., West of Im-plement Warehouse.—Mrs. Wm. F. Harvey. Derry.—Mrs. Harry Moyer. Spring Creek.—Mrs. Hoy. Work was immediately commenced on a supply of pneumonia jackets and in-fluenza masks, a great many of which have already been issued arid endeavors will be made to furnish all that may be required. It is requested that cases of sickness be reported quickly as possible, where necessary. This is work on behalf of the-local Red Cross which will demonstrate one way of usefullness to the community and even though peace has been declared the-Red Cross will find other ways to confer a boon upon the community in general. Certainly this work is worthy of your support. TO AID &FJb «ENZA SUFFERERS
