Hershe y Red Cross Will Hold Annual Roll Call The annual Red Cross Roll Call and Welfare drive will be held in Hershe y on Monday and Tuesda y, April 20 and 21. There will be booths at the postofnce , bank and store and every man and woman in Hershey should deem it a privilege to enroll in this worthy cause. The American Red Cross , since the war, has been offered boundless opportunities for service. With thousands of disabled ex-service men still in hospitals , with disasters occurring almost weekly, with hundreds of thousands dying yearly through preven table disease, through accident , through lack of knowledge of the simplest rules of hygiene and health , the need is greater than ever before. The Red Cross meets this need throu gh a group of unified services, to carr y on which it is chartered by Congress. This peace-time work is less spectacular than the war work. Much of it, the public health work in particular , is less interesting generall y, except to those who directly benefit by it. For it is no easy matter to interest a healthy person in health. Yet it is a work that is of vital importance to the American people. America could no more do without the Red Cross in pe* ' than it could have done without it in wai. The far-reachin g organization of the Red Cross, with its thousands of chapters and branches , formin g a close network over the entire country, is well fit ted to bring prompt aid when the lightning stroke 01 disaster flashes down upon a peaceful communi ty, kjjling hundreds , rendering thousands homeless and destitute. Into such a scene of despair and hopelessness the Red Cross brin gs food and clothing, medicine, tents for shelter , blanke ts and all kinds of supplies. Equipped with trained workers , with stores of relief supplies located at strategic points throughout the country, the resources of the entire organi-zation can be brough t to bear within a few hours upon the most remote hamlet. Public Health Nursing The Red Cross has appointed public health nurses in many communities which desired such service. The public health nurse is the guardian of the heal th of all those in her neighbor-hood. She inspects the school children for physical defects , organizes classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick , in Food Selection and First Aid, so that the women and girls may be bett er fitted to maintain the health of their families, and to care for members of their households in time ol minor illnesses. She tells expectant mothers how to take care of themselves, so that the mortality from childbirth may be reduced . Today almost a thousand Red Cross nurses in their picturesque uniforms and small cars are carr ying the chance to live, the message of health , and the good will of the Red Cross to people of mining communi ties, bleak and wind-swe pt mountain plateaus , and lonely rural settle-ments throu ghout the United States and her possessions. The Chapters Durin g the year volunteer workers have produced 150,000 garments , 1,000,000 surgical dressings and 87,000 pages ol Braille. They have made 15,000 motor calls and fed 22,000 persons in canteen service. In 500 communities the Red Cross Cha pter is the only family welfare agency, agency . Foreign Operations While the Red Cross work is lar gely carried on at home, it has in recent years rendered important assistance during times of disas ter in the following countries: France , Belgium , Italy, Austria , Germany, Hun gary, Poland , J ugo-slavia , Czecho-slovakia , Roumania , Bulgaria , Albania , Greece, Turkey, Finland , Esthonia , Latvia, Lithuania , Russia , Siberia , Ja pan , China , Chile, Ecuador , Columbia and Costa Rica. The position of the Red Cross among American institutions is unique in that , while cer tain duties have been placed upon it by Congress , it is at the same time a volun teer organization. Its membershi p is a volun tary membershi p; its work is carried on by volun tary contributions and membershi p dues. The amount of work that it can accomplish , therefore , is direc t ly measured by the amount of support which the American people give it. Durin g the annual roll call on next Monda y and Tuesday, the Red Cross offers the people an opportunity to rea ffirm their faith in the ideal of service for which it stands—to pay their membership dues and become a part of the organization for the coming year. If you—one person in millions—fail to join , it may seem a little thin g. But the Red Cross is your Red Cross—you are a part of it; and if you fail to join, by jus t so much the Red Cross fails of Us high purix )sc. The Red Cross has ke pt faitli with you . Join durin g the Roll Call and keep faith with the Red Cross. Hiss Violet Cassel Hostess at Dance Miss Violette IS.

Hershe y Jury Says Mumford Car Hit Readin g Merchant ' Samuel H. Mumford , 33 years old, of Lebanon , was the driver of the automobile tha t struck Harry M. Albright , Readin g shoe merchan t, on the William Penn highway at Her shey, on the night of March 5. Albright died shortly afterwards from injuries received in the accident. This was the verdict returned by coro-ner 's jury at an inquest at the Hose House of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Co., on Friday afternoon . The text of the verdict follows : "Harry M. Albright came to his death by being struck by an automobile driven by Samuel H. Mumford , of Lebanon , on the night of March 5 on the William Penn highway at Hershe y." Six witnesses were called to the stand by Dr . J. H. Kreider , county coroner , among them Robert Mumford , brother of the man named by the jury as driver of the car whose testimony shed some light on the occurrence. He was with his brother the night of the accident. Two important points were brought out by the questioning of Robert. He said he was seated in th e rear of the car and saw a man step out from between two cars at the point pr evious witnesses had described as the scene of the accident. He said his brother who was drivin g swung the car around and skidded in passing the two parked car s but insisted he did not know that the man he saw in the road had been struck. "After driving on for a short distance ," Rober t testified , "my brother stopped the car and got out. He walked back a short distance and then returned to th e car. He got in and drove off witho ut making any comment. " The witness then related that a short time later Samuel asked him to take the wheel and tha t he dr ove the rest of the way to Harrisburg. Corp. Harr y C. Gabel , of the State High-way Patrol , related the details of the arrest of Samuel Mumford at his home in Leba-non two days after the accident. He said that as he confronted Mumfor d, he asked , "Do you know what I'm here for? " and that Mumford replied, "Yes. " Gabel then said that Mumford said he did not know that he had struck anyone. The policeman then told of inspecting the Mumford au tomobile and finding that the left front fender had been replaced and there was fresh paint on parts of the ma-chine. Gabel located a dama ged fender which the authorities say was removed from the car in the Mumford garage. It was shown durin g the inquest. Raymond Weiss, another passenger in the Mumford car , was called to the stand and said he did not know that anyone was struck . He corrobora ted the testimony of Rober t Mumford that Samuel had lelt the car and re turned without making any explanation. Two women who were in the car were called but their testimony threw no light on the accident. Herman Seavers , a gara ge mechanic , who was summoned by the Albright' s when they had trouble with their car said he was in the Albright car , havin g driven it a shor t distance, when he heard a car approach from the rear going in the direc-tion of Harrisbur g. He said he heard a thump and stepping out of the car saw Albri ght lying in the roadway. He said the car that passed was without lights and was going between thirty-five and forty miles an hour when it passed. Mrs . Albright and her husband had left their car while Seavers made some ad-justments. They were in the highway be-tween their own car and that of Seavers which he had stopped a short distance behind it. Mrs. Albri ght said that as her husband stepped out from between the cars he was knocked down by a passing automobile. Mrs. Albri ght corroborated Seavers ' testi-mony that the car that passed at the time of the accident , which was 10.15 o'clock at night , was wi t hout lights and she said it was going at a rate of forty miles an hour. Tiie jur y which heard the evidence com-prised : J. It. Kreider , foreman ; George Laffer ty, A. W. Flowers , Thomas Black , J ohn A. Balsba ugh and J ohn Snavcly. District Attorney Robert T. Fox attended the inquest and frequently questioned the wi tnesses. Samuel Mumford was present with Edward E. Beidleman , his counsel. Mum-lord is held in bail on a charge of involun-tary manslaughter. District Attorney Fox will set a date for a preliminary hear-ing within a few days , lie said af ter the conclusion of the inquest.

BABY CLINIC THURSDAY AFTERNOON The weekl y Baby Clinic for well babies will be held on Thursday after nsoa, April 10th , from 2 to 4 o'clock , In the Red Cross Rooms.

We here-by Issue a challen ge to any team of about the same size and weight , in or around lleiHhey. Any team acceptin g cluillengu will please make all arrangements with Roy Long, manager , Union Deposit. Hershe y Baseball Team Roundin g Into Championship Form The Hershey baseball team had its initial Spring practice on Saturday after-noon on the Park field, with a large turnout of players , who will this year battle for positions on the regular team. It was an ideal day for baseball and after a short workou t they were cutting them over the diamond in mid-season form. Hershe y will be well fortified with base-ball material for a great team this year and some keen competition will prevail in order to land a regular berth on the team. In the outer gardens , Shaub and Miller are almost cer tain of their jobs as these two men are hard to excel in their positions in left and center and they have been hitting the ball with a vengeance. In right either Hefflefin ger, the Elizabethtown star , who has been dickerin g for a place on the Hershe y team and Johnson, the Perr y County star , will have the call. As yet Hefflefinger has not reported for practice so that position is an open proposition. Third-base will be guarded again this year by the "old reliable " Markey Albert. Markey was eating them up in practice on Saturday and his whip is as good as ever so he is prac tically assured of a place on the team. At second , Bordner and Dissney are fighting it out for the assign-ment. Joh nny says his arm , which was the source of much trouble last season, is in excellent shape and he looks forward to a big year. Dissney hasn 't had much chance to show his stuff yet but looks the part of a fast player and will be a hard man to keep off the team. Lester Smith and "Red " Shertzer are out after the first-base assignment and it will be a hard proposi-tion to pick the regular guardian for the initial bag. Smith is a valuable man as he hits from either side of the plate and is a consistent sticksmith. Shertzer , who was one of the mains tays on the Palmyra team last year is a real ball player and has all the ear marks of a great future. At short , Shaffer , of last year's team will be opposed by Dissney. who also plays short as well as second. Mana ger Ream will also be available to fill in at short or second should the necessity arise or in case the pitching department does not require his services. For backstops , "Red " Zimmerman and "Whi tey " Smith will probably bear the brun t of the work. Both are hard hitters and it is a toss up as to who will be the first strin g catcher . To date the pitching staff is composed of seven hurlers , namely . Storm , Books, Prowell , Ream, Long, Stover and Wagner , In the workou ts. Storm , the Hanover boy showed up to good advantage. It is a little earl y to make any predictions as he has been just lobbing them over in practice so far but he has all the appearances and actions of a finished pitcher and great things are expected of him this year. "Letty " Prowell was also seen shooting "em" over and he is sure to be a valuable addi tion to the team this season. Stover , the high school hurler will probabl y get his chance in the big show. This boy is a comer and will greatly strengthen the Hershey staff. Long and Wagner have not yet reported for practice but state that they are in condition and will be seen in the field in the near future. "Vic" Basehore , who was the only hold-out has finally come to terms and has accepted his contract. "Vic " is a star of the first magnitude and is a valuable acquisition to the team. With Shaub , Miller and Basehore in the outfield , the Hershe y team will have a trio of flychasers that will be hard to beat.

Ode to Her First Biscuits (With apologies to Alfred Lord Tenny son.) Break , break , break This thick plate you hit in three , And I would that my knife could butter The biscuits she made for me. O, well forthe bachelor cha p That he eats Wa stylish cafe, O well for the single guy That his biscuits are not like baked clay And that sparks fly from my knife . Like the lightning that breaks on the hill But O, for a small stick of dynamite And the loan of a pneumatic drill. Break , break , break This perfec tly good plate in three , But the tooth I smashed as I bit into you Will never come back to me.

The other day Old Man Dusendorfer , who teaches the districk skule at Toad Hollow, re turned to the class room and found a bent pin in his chair. "Good Heavings," he expectorated , "can it be possible I have been setting on that pin all day." Hans, from across the sea, says that the firs t featured bird he shot after he came to this country was a porcu pine. He shot him with a barn shovel. The first time he hit him, he missed him. The second time he missed him he hit him the same place he missed him when he nit him the first time. "Poor girl , now she must shift for her-self", said Hat tie. "So her husband has deserted her , has he?" sympathized Cattle. . "No," apostrophed Fattie , she is'learn-ing to shift the gears on the new roads ter he bought her for her birthday present. " "Well," reflec ted Catt ie," if I had a husband like that I would have a bir thday every year. " Well, they have put the Law of Compen-sation to work again: Dame Fashion has decreed short skirts and short skirts demand longer looks. The Man with the Hoe was selecting the garden tools at the Hershey Store. "Here is a good spade," said the clerk . "It has a good heavy handle and will last a lifetime." "Don't you have something not quite so heavy? " inquired the Man with the Hoe. "I' m afraid that spade will be a litt le toe much for my wife's strength. " Those College Day* I "You have no idea how easil y this foun-tain pen runs ," said Ja ck, giving the pen a wild shake. "O yes, I have an inklin g," said Rabbi t as he applied blott ing paper to his new white flannel trousers. Reports from China show that country is grea tly developing its electric power , introducin g many of the conveniences ol western civilization , such as electric curling irons , vacuum cleaners and so on, etc. Wonder if they have electric chairs over yonder? Says the Man with the Cedar Chest , "A fool and his money are soon parted. " "Right ," concedes the Man with the Wooden Leg, whose daughter has a case on the village blacksmith , "bu t it 's a mighty hard job to part two fools with no money. " Along about the time the garden sass gets prime , the family doctor will probably warn us of the dangers of auto intoxica-tion. To our warped way of thinking, there are at least three kinds of auto intoxica-tion, namely, to wit , viz.: The auto-intoxication Doc Drake warns his patients against , and which he defines as poisonin g of the body from within , that is, by poisons of the body itself. Then there is the auto-in toxication more commonl y called Car Fever , which can only be cured by the purcliase of a car. Thirdl y, there ia the auto-intoxication resul ting from mixing gasoline and moon-shine. Here 's another Irish one we exhumed. It deals with our old familiar friends , Pal and Mike: Pat , while wanderin g through the Hershe y Cemetery, saw the followin g inscri ption on a gravestone , "I still live. " Turnin g to Mike , he remarked , "Well , believe me, If Oi was dead , Oi would have sense enough to admit it. " Liber ty Cross Roads has contributed several distinguished iiersonnges to the political life of our country, among whom we cite : Philander B. Vcedec, who, before en ter-ing politics , was a prunin g and graf t in g expert. He finds his knowledge of graft-ing an indispensable part of his political equipment. Abraham Whattam . former president nnd engineer of the Liberty Cross Roads Mutual Telephone Company, says he would find it impossible to do anything worth while at Washin gton were it not. for his exigence at wire pulling while in the service of the telephone company back home.

The Smokestack j &y T>ee J ay Qee \ "Wages of Virtue " Colorfull y Stars Gloria Swanson Without question , the most colorful of all Gloria Swanson 's starrin g pictures for Paramount is "Wa ges of Virtue ," which will be shown at the Hershey Central Thea tre on Saturday evening, April 18th , at 6.30 o'clock and 8.30 o'clock. Most of the action of the production takes place in the litt le Algerian barrack town of Sidi-bel-Abbes where the French Forei gn Legion is stationed: It is in this sequence of scenes that you see splendid Spahis , roman tic looking Chasseurs d'- Afrique , burnoosed Arabs , and swaggering Turcos , arro gant in fez and frock coats, mingling with the soldiers of the Legion. In the bazaars are the merchan ts, the Greek "kuskus " sellers , the coffee vendors , the peddlers of water , the bootblacks in their French "ber ets ," and the little black newsboys, naked except for white trousers , carr ying their bundles of "Echoes d'Oran ," and scut tling put of the way of huge, clumsy wagons piled high with purple stained casks of Algerian wine. In the doorways are crouched the miser-able mendican ts, whinin g piteously for alms, the singers , and the pious holy men "playing their way into heaven " on one-stringed instruments. And at night, on the balconies , appear the veiled and bang-led women, holding candles under then - faces to illumine their charms . It is against such a back ground that Miss Swanson , as Carmeli ta, and Ben Lyon, young American recruit in the Legion, carr y on one of the most delightful romances that has ever reached the screen. Norman Trevor and Ivan Linow also have prominent parts in these scenes. Trevor is Marvin 's (Lyon) guardian , and Linow has the "heavy " role of the regi-mental bull y, Luigi, ex-circus stron g man. Joe Moore , the youngest of the 'movie Moores '; Arrnand Cortez , Adrienne d'- Ambricourt and Paul Panzer complete the all-star cast. High School Girls Finish Successful Season Hershe y High School Girls Basketball team closed a successful season last week , winnin g a majority of their games. Dur-ing the season the Hershey Girls met some of the strongest girls teams in this section and while not always on the winning end put up exceptionally strong games against older and more experienced teams. A schedule comprising twenty-five games was completed of which the local team won 13 and lost 12. Much of the success of the team is largely due to Miss Helen Crozier , whose untiring efforts as coach did much to give the Hershey girls a winning combi-nation.

The hall was tasetfully decorated with palms , presenti ng a Spring-like appearance and the large number of dancers present were deli gh ted with the strains produced by Phil Fisher 's Peerl ess Orchestra , which seemed to get better and better as the evening progressed . After intermission a touch of zest was added to the affair by the throwing of serpentines , whjjch swirled thru the air hangin g on chandeliers or enmeshed the dancers in their coils. The ca rd party which was held in con-nection wi th the dance was taken cure of by the Ladies ' Auxiliar y, and attracted about forty people , the prizes being award-ed to the following winners: John Shay, Merle Harris , Mrs. Merle Harris , George Hills , Miss Erb and Mrs. Thomas Black .

HERSHEY VOONL TUHNET EJEORB FIRE CO On Tuesda y mornin g an alarm was sent In that the chimney at the home of J . H. Potta , on Cocoa Avenue , was ablaze. Chief Hoyer nnd Assistant Chief Seavers were booh on their way wi th the chemical to the aceiio of the fire , wiiere they expediouuly and efficiently extinguished the flumes. Hershe yites Hold Their Own Little Fashion Parad e Not to be done by the thousands who wended in one stead y stream to shore resorts for their Easter parades , Hershe y staged its own little parade under a perfec t sky. Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues, and Hershey Park , each held its quota of gayly-gowned women and immacula te men, viewing with one another in the splend or of their att ire. Pretty girls, three in a row , four arm-in-arm , in couples, and even alone , were glorious splashes of color against the arrivin g green of spring in the trees , the bushes and turf. Hats and coats in light , flashing solid colors seemed to predomi-nate. Bright reds , canar y, buff, Alice blue, henna , tan , gray, brown black , all had their propoaents , so long as solid colors or contras ts in solid colors were main tained. The forecas t that gowns are to be worn shor ter this year was more than justified. They may be wearin "em higher in Hawaii , as the popular song has it, but the hems were not as high as the mode-makers have have been predicting. All the skir ts extending some inches below the knees. Ensemble dresses were worn by young and old alike. Confections of georgette , crepe de chine , serge, kasha , satin , maro-cain, and all the newest materials elabor-ately embroidered were seen everywher e. Pigeon egg blues and various shades of tan seemed the more popular colors. A feminine jieadgear varied anywhere in size and contour from soup dishes to minia ture sunshades. Tightly fitting per-ruque hats, with loops of gathered silk or crepe coiled about the ears like a cone-shell were popular with younger women, while mammoth brims of lace and straw shaded the features of many of the matrons Buck Jones.Coming in "The Trail Rider " It wasn't so many years ago that the strife between the cattle men of the north-ern and the southern ran ges was savage and long drawn out—the reason being that nearl y all Texas catt le were infected with the Texas cattle fever tick. Tha t disease was almost always fatal to cattle , and when the Texas herds started Nor th , Kansas ranchers barred the way at the border. Man y a cowpuncher "went West with his boots on" durin g the resultant gunfights. The powerful story of "The Trail Rider ." writ ten by George Washington Ogden , has that old cattle war as a basis. It is a tale that develops thrillin g situations and gives the dashing Buck Jones ample opportuni-ties to show that the man who lived longest was the fellow whose gun leaped from its holster first. The escape from the fore-fron t of a herd of stampeding cattle is wildly pulse quickenin g. It is a William Fox production , and will be shown at the Hershe y Central Theatre on Tuesda y evening, April 21, at 7.30 o'clock. No-Foul Basketball Game Frida y Night On Frida y evening an extraordinary game of basketball will be pulled off at the Hershey Men 's Club when a team com-posed of ten members of the Industrial League will wind up the basketball season in Hershe y by playing a game in which no fouls will be called and every thing goes. The game will be kept on the jump at all times and if at any time the game should slow up new players will be injected into the fray. Toss-ups will take the place of fouls and the game should be fast , rou gh and full of excitement at all times. All the teams will be represented and will be in uniform for a group picture which will be placed on the shield that will be awarded to the winners of the league. The Indus trial League has been a big success this year and the managers are now contemplating having a baseball league composed of all non- professional players , makin g the teams evenly matched so that the competition will not be one-sided. The game on Friday night will be a bene-fit game, the admission being 25 cents , and it is hoped that the balcony will be crowded The people have been waiting for a game without fouls and here it is. Thrill after thrill can be expected. At this game the mana gers will submit a list of players who have played in four or more (fames and who will be entitled to participate in a banquet , that will lie given in the near future. The Wra pping department are the league winners (or the 1924-25 season and they deserve a lot of credit for organizing such a strong and well-balanced team.

Zoll, manager ol the Hersh ey Dept. Store , offers a lew umely suggestions about your next winter 's supply oi coal. Save money by placing your order now and secure tne Spring red uction prices, is Mr. Zoli's advice. Do you know that the two-year contract between the anthracite miner s and the operators will expire in September 1st? Considering the lact that thousands of miners were on strike for weeks last winter , disregarding their working agreement ,' it-would natura lly lead one to think that something is going to happen on the first ol next September. You insure your property against loss by fire or theft , why take a chance on your coal supply which so vitally affects your comfor t.1' The coal as sold by the Hershey Dept. Store is selected only from the best of mines and is carelully screened before delivery to the consumer. Not only the best ol coal, but also the best service is turrushed to its patrons. Mr. Zoll states that he was fortunate in obtainin g 35 cars of coal of the old sizes, and the prices will be as follows : Mahono y or Shamokin White Ash— Egg, $13.50; Stove, $13.80; Chestnut . $1.5.50; Pea, $10.50; Buckwheat , $8.00. Lykens Valley Red Ash—Egg, $14.60; Stove, $15.00; Chestnut , $14.60; Pea, $11.30. The above schedule will apply until the 35 cars are sold, when the new standard-ization will be in effect. The resizin g of the screen under the new classifica tion means that in every ton of pea coal will be found 15 per cent of buck-wheat ; in every ton of chestnut will be found 15 per cent of pea, and so on through all the grades. In every instance sizes tha t previously had been standard , will be mixed with a smaller size and sold under the name 'of the lar ger. With 15 per cent of the smaller used in every instance , the re tail reductions of from 50 cents to $1 a ton will mean nothing. Mrs. J. R. Kreider Entertains at Brid ge Luncheon Mrs . J . R.

Hershe y Red Cross
Will Hold
Annual Roll Call
The annual Red Cross Roll Call and
Welfare drive will be held in Hershe y on
Monday and Tuesda y, April 20 and 21.
There will be booths at the postofnce ,
bank and store and every man and woman
in Hershey should deem it a privilege to
enroll in this worthy cause.
The American Red Cross , since the war,
has been offered boundless opportunities
for service. With thousands of disabled
ex-service men still in hospitals , with
disasters occurring almost weekly, with
hundreds of thousands dying yearly
through preven table disease, through
accident , through lack of knowledge of the
simplest rules of hygiene and health , the
need is greater than ever before.
The Red Cross meets this need throu gh
a group of unified services, to carr y on
which it is chartered by Congress. This
peace-time work is less spectacular than
the war work. Much of it, the public
health work in particular , is less interesting
generall y, except to those who directly
benefit by it. For it is no easy matter to
interest a healthy person in health. Yet
it is a work that is of vital importance to
the American people. America could no
more do without the Red Cross in pe* '
than it could have done without it in wai.
The far-reachin g organization of the Red
Cross, with its thousands of chapters and
branches , formin g a close network over the
entire country, is well fit ted to bring
prompt aid when the lightning stroke 01
disaster flashes down upon a peaceful
communi ty, kjjling hundreds , rendering
thousands homeless and destitute. Into
such a scene of despair and hopelessness
the Red Cross brin gs food and clothing,
medicine, tents for shelter , blanke ts and all
kinds of supplies. Equipped with trained
workers , with stores of relief supplies
located at strategic points throughout the
country, the resources of the entire organi-zation
can be brough t to bear within a few
hours upon the most remote hamlet.
Public Health Nursing
The Red Cross has appointed public
health nurses in many communities which
desired such service.
The public health nurse is the guardian
of the heal th of all those in her neighbor-hood.
She inspects the school children for
physical defects , organizes classes in Home
Hygiene and Care of the Sick , in Food
Selection and First Aid, so that the women
and girls may be bett er fitted to maintain
the health of their families, and to care for
members of their households in time ol
minor illnesses. She tells expectant
mothers how to take care of themselves, so
that the mortality from childbirth may be
reduced . Today almost a thousand Red
Cross nurses in their picturesque uniforms
and small cars are carr ying the chance to
live, the message of health , and the good
will of the Red Cross to people of mining
communi ties, bleak and wind-swe pt
mountain plateaus , and lonely rural settle-ments
throu ghout the United States and
her possessions.
The Chapters
Durin g the year volunteer workers have
produced 150,000 garments , 1,000,000
surgical dressings and 87,000 pages ol
Braille. They have made 15,000 motor
calls and fed 22,000 persons in canteen
service. In 500 communities the Red
Cross Cha pter is the only family welfare
agency,
agency .
Foreign Operations
While the Red Cross work is lar gely
carried on at home, it has in recent years
rendered important assistance during times
of disas ter in the following countries:
France , Belgium , Italy, Austria , Germany,
Hun gary, Poland , J ugo-slavia , Czecho-slovakia
, Roumania , Bulgaria , Albania ,
Greece, Turkey, Finland , Esthonia , Latvia,
Lithuania , Russia , Siberia , Ja pan , China ,
Chile, Ecuador , Columbia and Costa
Rica.
The position of the Red Cross among
American institutions is unique in that ,
while cer tain duties have been placed upon
it by Congress , it is at the same time a
volun teer organization. Its membershi p
is a volun tary membershi p; its work is
carried on by volun tary contributions and
membershi p dues. The amount of work
that it can accomplish , therefore , is direc t ly
measured by the amount of support which
the American people give it.
Durin g the annual roll call on next
Monda y and Tuesday, the Red Cross
offers the people an opportunity to rea ffirm
their faith in the ideal of service for which
it stands—to pay their membership dues
and become a part of the organization for
the coming year. If you—one person in
millions—fail to join , it may seem a little
thin g. But the Red Cross is your Red
Cross—you are a part of it; and if you fail
to join, by jus t so much the Red Cross fails
of Us high purix )sc.
The Red Cross has ke pt faitli with you .
Join durin g the Roll Call and keep faith
with the Red Cross.
