Red Cross Notes People will give generously to the Red Cross in case of a great disaster not because they have more money when such disaster strikes, but because the of such calamity is hugely publicized and the suffering of the people in the stricken area is brought home very sharply to the world. Most people don't know that there is a disaster of smaller proportions practically every third day in the year somewhere on this globe, and if the sufferings and privations of. the people in those areas were put together they would greatly exceed the sufferings in a major disaster confined to a smaller space.

It is to take care of these current disasters that the national Red Cross is conducting a regular Roll Call every year. Other news of worldwide importance obscure the occurrences of these minor disasters, but they should not obscure your vision to the necessity of taking care of these calamities. To join the Red Cross membership requires $1.00, but additional contributions may be given in any amount. Receive the workers cheerfully, when they call, or leave your membership dues with the workers at Seitzinger's Drug Store, 608 Centre street. Exaraines Applicants Dr.
