The Jackson herald By John N. Holder. 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. R. S.
