VOL.3 No. 296 RED CROSS WORKERS DIVIDED INTO TWO All Loyal Americans Urged To Have Their Dol lar Ready When Workers Call. One Half of Every Dollar Helps the Needy Here at Home A large number ot the leading women of Elizabeth City have volun teered their services in connection with the Red Cross Roll Cull, and have Iready entered enthusiastically upou the work of setting mom bein. Chair man Little 1h elated, because the ludies, having taken hold of the Roll Call, .are certain to make it a conspicuous success. The women have been divided into -Ur. teams, under the direction ot rnAXK cahtwMOHT DKAD m. P. G. Jacocks and Mrs. George Williamson, two of the most efficient , , . rarturit ... .,, itedtroe workers in the city." Each team will strive for the honor ot be iag the one to get the largest num ber of Red Cross members during k taUr Roll Call week. But the wiu oinc of the contest for members is not the big consideration with either team. The workers on both sides are giving their time chlelly because of their'deep interest in the Red Croda, and' their desire to enroll all residents of the city and county us members. Then, too, whilo other communities throughout the nation aad state are striving for "Universal Meuibw'jhlp," according to the ex pressed wish of President Wilson and the National Red Cross, they do ot want theirs to lag behind with 4 small enrollment of the people. Convinced that the appeal of the Red Cross is one that touches all Jiearts, and that our people am only waiting to be asked, the women have divided the city, and will make a thorough house-to-house canvass. Not. a home in Elizabeth City will be passed by. There is not u citizen that will not be given an opportun ity to enroll sometime during the week. Booths will be erected down town, and every business houao will 1). visited. Our citizens are urged to 1 pre pared. Have your dollar ready. Don't ask or expect these busy wo men to cull a second time. They have taken no small task upon them selves in deciding to call at every home and business place. Then, too, vemember that oue half of every dollar remains in Elizabeth City, to help finance the splendid work being done by the local Chap- ter. And the Chapter Is do!ng a fljo work right here at home, and will be able to do much more good, when It a treasury has been swelled by its share of the returns from Red t rows Roll I Call Week. Local Red Cross mem bers are right here and now nursing (be alck, clothing the Well nirfh iraked, and preparing llsU of little children, who would have no Christ- I mas but for the interest of these geo-vrous-hearted women. 80, do not forget that your dollar Is going to tremendously help your home town. The team workers are giv a here. Other same will probably be added later, because now women am hour ly Offering their services. Mrs. T. 0. Jacocks' Team: Olive Aydett. Mattie Weatherty. Mrs. A. R.

In the depressing waiting they will lose heart more easily than before when things go wrong at home. Red Cross Home Service to their families must continue we are pledged It shull us long as families are deprived of the support of the soldier's presence. Our tusk Is peculiarly heavy be cause of the large .rural districts our chapters cover. The worried soldier with a letter telling of sickness or trouble at home must often wait days until a Home Service worker can make a visit to a distant place, uud write back that inedicul or other re lief has been given.
