Our Obligation As
Comrades In The Fiftieth
Anniversary Roll Call
•ss
TO
V>+
This Golden Jubilee Year of the
American Red Cross is a stimulus to
richer efficiency and a challenge to
still greater effort in progressive
social activities and humanitarian
purposes. We have by the hundreds
of thousands been working as com
rades in good-will and understanding
in daily tasks centered upon the
betterment of our suffering fellows
victimized by unkind fate. Some
still survive among us who saw the
modest beginning of the Red Cross
50 years ago. Some have been stal
wart in leadership and in the ranks,
loyal and never tiring in good deeds
through all these years, and they
have enriched by their works the
world’s store of the fruits *of unsel
fishness.
Today, as we advance along the
highway which our people have en
dowed with the permanence of their
idealism, we of the Red Cross march
with the strength of a legion of
more than four millions. But this
arm of service has no authorized
strength. Our goal in this Fiftieth
Anniversary Roll Call is for a great
ly increased membership. It is our
task as workers and members to so
regiment our effort for the Roll Call
period that every Chapter goal shall
be attained, and more. It is our
duty to make vivid to all our people
the realities and constructive char
acter of the Red Cross. It can be
done if we all will it to be done.
Ours is not the struggle for re
cognition of 50 years ago. Our peo
ple have through the half century
been in touch with the steady ad
vance of humanitarian service, and
have by their munificence to the Na
tional Organization approved the
work in ever-widening fields. The
national consciousness testifies to
that work, and Americans in all
walks of life associate the Red Cross
with good deeds.
As comrades it is a duty during
the Roll Call period to invite all the
people to accept membership in the
American Red Cross, and the extent
that individual invitations are ex
tended will prove our zeal. To ask
men and women to join their Red
Cross is an obligation of comrade
ship.
Everyone is welcome to join. The
door is open to all who would enter
in unity for the strengthening of
the resources for human welfare,
who would enjoy living the life of
good-will which comes from working
together for an inspiring common
cause.
Chairman Red Cross.
