For the past twelve months I
have served as chairman of the local
Red Cross Chapter. Last fall we
conducted the annual Roll Call, and
and this apring we gave you an op
portunity to oontributs to the War
Relief Fund. Both times the people
of Farmville responded whole heart
edly. It has been impossible for me
or the local committee to thank each
of you who assisted in either of these
campaigns or those who assisted in
the production of war garments.
Therefore I would like th thank each
of you for whatever service you have
rendered to the American Red Cross
during the past twelve months. It
has been genuine pltesura to work
with you and I.greatly appreciate
the splendid cooperation and enthusi
asm manifested by all the local Red
