This is Roll Call Week for the Amer ican Red Cross in Cabarrus county.. Officers of the local association have de termined to devote the first part of the week' to a publicity campaign, during which time the public will be reminded of the great work of the organization, and then on Friday and Sat array can vassers will go throughout the city to secure memberships. Rev. \V. A. Jenkins, pastor of Central Methodist Church, is director of the local campaign this year. Mr. Jenkins has already secured a number of live indi viduals aud organizations to assist him in the campaign, which will be one of the most active ever rondueted in this county. Window cards, advertisements in the newspapers, short talks in various parts of the county, newspaper articles and other forms of advertisement witll be ' used by Mr. Jenkins and hjs corps of as sistants in getting the message of the Red Cross to all the people of the coun ty. \ It only takes “a heart and a dollar" to become a member of this great o;- ganization. Subscriptions are not lim ited to a dollar, to be sure, but that amount entitles any one to membership, and no greater amount is demanded. * The work of the American Red Cross is known to every American.. When the Armistice was signed. Chapters and Branches requested a peace-time program which should use the war experience and the war fervor to strengthen community life. In many places this was only a * continuation of services carried on dur ing the war; in others, it -was p lap tied to meet a need made apparent by’ the ' war." ■**. The underlying principles of the peace time war work arc these: 1. The primary obligation of the American Red Cross is to disabled ex service men. No peace-time work may be undertaken by a Chapter or Rranch unless the work for disabled soldiers and sailors is being carried on satisfactorily. 2. The service must be selected by the Chapter or Branch according to the needs of the local community, after a study of local conditions. 3. Red Cyoss service must not dupli cate the work of existing agencies. 4. 'lt must be carried on in accord ance with Red Cross standards. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been made in the kind of service which Chapters and Branches cap carry on. 5. The Chapter work must be direct ed by a strong Executive Committee which takes responsibility for the de velopment of the service in consultation with National Headquarters. 6. It cannot be made too clear that Red Cross peace-time service is com munity service, chosen, supported and directed locally. The national organiza tion, through its knowledge of the en tire country, makes possible an exchange of exiierience and the formulation of high standards. With Our Advertisers.

Washington, D.

The gathering meets under the joint aspiees of the. Southern Settlement and Development Organizations, the Florida and Missis sippi Development Boards, file Southern Pine Association, and the several eem-, inerciai bodies of New Orleans. The conference is regarded as filled with interesting possibilities. No se cret is made of the fact that it is a new step in the plans of Southerners to ger a "square deal" or their share of the so-called “pork.” Special attention will be given to the utilization aud settlement of cut over lands of the South, as well as the arid and semi-arid lands of the West. Tlie West has been invited to participate in the conference. Accord ing to the promoters of the movement one more effort is to be .made to bring about a real working agreement between the South and West. If this fails then the threatened fight in Congress is expected to go forward. The new head of the reclamation ser vise, former Governor David W. Davis, of Idaho, is under-stood to be anything but popular with the Southern reclama tion enthuisast. They charge that while connected with the Western States R»-» elamation Association he was opposed to permitting tlie South to share in the Federal reclamation and land settlement program. The dropping of Arthur Davis, who proceeded the present direc tor. may be taken up at the New Or leans conference.
