PEACE-TIME ACTIIVTIES
OF RED CROSS WILL BE
EXTOLLED IN PULPITS
Washington, Nov. 7. (AP)—
Clergymen throughout the land
will extoll from their pulpits
tomorrow the humanitarian peace
time activities of the American
Red Cross.
The day has been set aside as
Red Cross Sunday, observance of
which is a preliminary to the
society's annual roll call, which
begins Armistice Day, November
11, and'is the period during which
__the people are given oportunity
,to endorse the first aid movement
by joining the ranks of the Red
Cross.
Because of its memorable scr
vice in the world;, war, said a
statement by the Society, there is
a disposition to regard the Red
Cross as “primarily a war ma
chine, and to overlook the fact
“that it has a peace mission of
-equal importance.".
Still Fighting
Recognition of this feeling, the
society said, has led to the de
signarion each year of a Sunday
be devoted to the Red Cross, and
ministers, in their sermons to
morrow, are expected to empha
size that the organization, “un
like the great military forces it
served in war, is still
mg, atkf has been fighting every
year sir.ee the Armistice, with
with the same zeal it put into its
war work.’’
“In fact the end of the war,”
the society -continued,' “in many
instances imposed new and
♦^ligations upon it, and in the
F>ast few years there is scarcely
a country in the world where it
has not acted in behalf of the
American people.
“Congress, through charter, has
designated the American Red Cross
as the volunteer relief agency of
the people. In this guise, it has,
in the name of the whole nation,
shouldered burdens at home and
abroad, which in magnitude are
comparable to those of the war. tf

Baby Cecil Kreiser, aged 2, of Stamford, Neb., owes his life to the heroism of Fireman Jac*
Hardy. Cecil had toddled out on the railway track near his home. The engineer was unable
to stop. So Hardy climbed out of the cab and went ahead to the pilot. Leaning forward
he grabbed the child from the locomotive's path and held him clear of the rails. Then
his balance, he had to toss Cecil flat between the rails to keep from falling with him.. Cecil
was unhurt, though the engine and two cars passed over him. Hardy is shown above beside
his engine, with Cecil in the inset.
