Ist, 1940 RED CROSS ROLL CALL STARTS ON NOV. 11th The annual Roll Call for mem berships in the American Red Cross will be made during the period between November 11th and November 30th. It will be nation-wide, and will doubtless re sult in the largest membership ever enrolled. While Tryon peo ple are keenly interested in the many admirable projects for the aid of Britain which are enlisting their sympathy and support, the permanence and the necessity of the Red Cross will not be forgotten. Here is an illustration of the sort of thing the Red Cross does. Some months ago, Harvard Uni versity decided to do something to aid Britain. After conference with the British government, it was found that a medical unit for the study and cure of infectious diseases was most needed. For this purpose, a fully equipped hospital of about 125 beds and an adequate laboratory was necessary. Har vard could supply the medical ex perts, but had not the funds to build the hospital. They conferred with the officers of the Red Cross, who their Medical Ad visory Committee, of which Dr. David V L. Edsall of Tryon is the chairman. On Dr. Edsall’s advice, the Red Cross will provide the hos pital, and send a corps of 50 nurses to care for she patients and . assist the doctors in their re search. This hospital made up of units of about 15 beds each will be pre-fabricated. in the United States, sent over to England and there erected and equipped, at a cost of more than $150,000.
