To conserve time, labor and
expense, all Auxilaries at-Lto-ge
have been asked to form Chap
ters or bscoms an auxiliary to a
near-by Chapter. After discus
sing Jhe situation from every
view point, .it has been decided
to extend the activities of the
Plymouth Red" Cross to all cf
Plymouth Township and organ
ize as the Plymouth Chapter.
Five committees began a canvass
of the entire township on Wed
nesday. We hope that every
person who is not a member of
the Red . Cross will -become one,
in order that we may more than
secure the necessary number,
(200) for a Chapter, and that we
may enlarge our scope of work.
Any man, woman or child may
become a member by paying
$1.00. There is no obligation up
on any one joining, .other than
to render what service they may
desfre.
If the committee should fail
to see )ou, or vou should "decide
to join after being seen, band
your dollar and name to Mrs- M.
G. Darden, Treasuicr, or Mrs.
