The mobllzatlon of the nation's military and civilian resources for security has brought a call for Red Cross services on a scale unpre cedented in peace time. March has, been designated as Red Cross Month with the Duplin County fund raising drive planned for the first ten days of the month. The county is responsible for the raising of $4,976.00 for 1951. $2, 23a will remain in the county chap ter and 32,746 will go to the nation al quota. The 1951 campaign slogan Is "Mobilize for Defense". It is this mobilization that necessitates the large sum of money for te carrying on the work of thte Red Cross due to: (1) Increased service made nec essary by the large expansion of our armed forces; (2) Procurement ot blood for the armed forces and civil defense; (3) Necessary in crease in training in first aid, home nursng and nurse's aides; (4) High er costs of all materials and ser vices as compared with a year ago. , Community chairmen . are now being selected in the county.
