your generous support of the Red
Cross you strengthen a vast program
of mercy and community service
reaching into every part of America.
How well the Red Croea does its job
depends on YOU. When you con
tribute to the 1947 Bed Croea Fund,
you become a member of a great,
working family?a family of Ameri
can neighbors who are pledged to
help each other to time of need.
People everywhere respect the Red
Cross because it knows no boundaries
of race, color, or creed, because its
acle concern is for the good of man
kind, because it serves our men to
the armed forces and helps veterans,
and is ever present when disaster
strikes.
Sam D. Bandy, chairman of the
Farmville Bad Ooaa Drive, states
that every thing is to readiness for
the campaign for funds which will

have been appointed and workers
have volunteered. When the solici

RED CROSS WILL CARRY ON.
