In announcing the Christmas Roll Call the American Red
Cross is not seeking to raise a large amout of money. What it
must do, however, in order that its work of relief at home and
across the 8C3. may not stiffer in any way is the earnest. 00-
operatior: of the American public in red~blooded membership.
So great. is the faith of the Red Cross in the American people
that it has set no quotas. for Red Cross Chapters for the enroll-
ment of members in the Roll call, The limit for each Chapter
is the number of people in its Jurisdiction.
That means for Norwalk that the Roll Call here will not be
complete until every person, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled; The chief end in enrolling is wt to raise money
but to increase. membership. 'Membership in the greatest or.
ganization of mercy in the whole wide world costs but $1.00
and there is not‘a single person who loves humanity and cares
for its welfare who cannot afford to give. If there is the heart
there will be found a way to get the dollar. Every 100 per cent.
