Annual Roll Call In Rosboro
From Armistice Day l/ntil
Thanksgiving /
The annual roll call for ked Cross
membership will take place In Rox
boro and vicinity during the. second
and third weeks of November. The
Red "Cross was the great War Mother
during the-day^ the-World War, as
?he has been In every great crisis that
has occurred within the past several
generations," and this humanitarian
organization Is still functioning In a
world-wide service in times of peace.
The Red Cross Is promoting health
measures and rendering a construc
tive health service to scores of thous
ands of our citizens, and particularly
to the ex-service men twid. their fam
ilies. ' \
The American Red Cross is the
first relief'organization to reach the
scene of every major disaster t ha W
may occur ih our country. During the*
last fiscal year the American Red
Cross rendered relief and' rehabilita
tion Service in 131 disasters. Including
the West Indian and Florida hurricane
situation for which $6.000.000.00 was
collected and expended In work ' of
mercy and restoration.
- Much of the work, of the Red Cross
may be looal In Its application. One
half of the one dollar membership fee
remains In the local community to
carry on health jwork among our own
folk. The objective set for the Per
son county chapter of the Red Cross
for this year is chiefly dental service
for school children who can not get
the proper attention without help.
There is urgent need for some service
of this kind among many of the local
schnol children.
"All you need Is a heart and a dollar."
