Red Cross Quota
Not Yet Reached
As you recall the quota for F#rm
rille was $2904.00 much higher than
in previous years due to the increased
iemands on the Red Cross. Regard
less of this; the workers set out with
great enthusiasm that the goal could
tie reached, would be reached, and
must be reached.
For the most part they were re
vived with a warm welcome and con- ,
ributions were cheerfully given. The
nain obstacle that many encountered
vas a misunderstanding that Red
Dross was included in the Community
Dhest Drive last Fall. This was in
ieed unfortunate, for even when re- 1
ninded that it wasn’t, many citizens i
'ailed to make a contribution. Let’s
tot let this happen ' in 1952! The .1
jreat work qt the Bed Cross has to go 1
in day after day and we must not 3
'ail it. In many instances it is our
inly rheans of doing for our servioe
nen, our veterans, filling our blood 1
leeds, assisting in disasters, and help
ng our neighbors at home and far
iway. Let’s keep it ready to answer
mr call!
If you haven’t done your bit to help
farmville meet its quota it is not too
ate! Mail your check immediately j
;o your chairman.
Since it will be impossible for me
:o thank each person who made a con
ribution and each worker who gave
if his time I wish to express my sin
cere appreciation to everyone who had
iny part in the 1952 American Red
Dross Drive. — V. Elizabeth, Davis, ]
hairman.
