23RD ROLL CALL
OF RED CROSS
IS ANNOUNCED
■ ■ The Jackson Coun
.llll Ml ty Red Cross
VjK3.lv Chapter began the
• twenty-third an
nual Roll Call for
membership on last
_______ Monday.
In line with the
IlfcU bnUUU general trend of
preparedness for any eventuality the
speed and efficiency with which the
Red Cross was able to answer the
many demands made upon it during
the last year for disaster relief and
war relief, and its many other ser
vices rendered during peace time,
emphasises why strong membership
support at Roll Call time is essential.
Georgia’s Red Cross membership
last year totaled 104,343, represent
ing a substantial increase over the
previous year, but the goal for
Georgia this year is at least 125,000
members.
The Red Cross means many things
to many people. To the terror
stricken war refugees in Europe it
has been a symbol of merciful as
sistance and of tender sympathy. To
the thousands of men and women
whose lives have been saved by
prompt action by expertly trained
individuals, the Red Cross is an
army of life savers and first aiders.
Still other countless thousands think
of the Red Cross in terms of a nurse
visiting the sick in a lonely rural
section or city slums. To the 9,000,-
000 boys and girls representing the
Junior Red Cross, it offers a broad
er outlook on life, and gives them
an opportunity to help other people.
Thousands of service-connected vet
erans and their families annually re
ceive benefits through generous con
tributions to the Red Cross during
the roll call.
The Red Cross in Georgia this
year has brought relief to people at
Charleston, Albany, Savannah and
Cornelia and because of this, Red
Cross officials say every Jackson
county citizen should do his part to
uphold the banner of the Red Cross
by taking membership during the
drive between November 11 and No
vember 30.
Prominent Jackson county citizens
have accepted appointment as Roll
Call chairman for their respective
communities and have pledged to
make this the greatest Roll Call
since the World War.
