Cron will open Monday morning
under in® direction of Otto M. Conn
with a group of assistants who will
canvas the city to raise funds to
care for the needs of charity in ‘die
county during the coming year.
Mayor J. A. Horne has inued a
proclamation urging the support of
the people of the community and a
number of leaden have added their
endorsement The following is the
Mayor’s proclamation and the state
ment of leaders regarding the drive:
A PROCLAMATION
To the Citizens of Milledgeville:
The Red Cross Roll Call and Com
munity Chest Campaign, which be
gins in our churches Sunday, No
vember 1th, and continues within
the community at large after the
church memberships have been
thoroughly canvassed, offers an t
portunity to our people to fulfill
evident civic duty.
We feel that no citizen of i
community would be found derelict
in so serious an obligation. We ask,
knowing the dire need that exists,
I that our people not content them
selves with a fulfillment of duty, but
give with the element of sacrifice
attending their giving.
J. A. HORNE,
JOIN THE RED CROSS
The Annual Red Cross Roll Call
commences November 19th, to
town and county this is more than
the Red Cross Roll Call—it is <
Community Cnest Drive as well
Red Cross Roll Call—and the only
agency through which we endeavor
to secure funds to alleviate the suff
ering and distressed during the
dreary winter months. From the best
obtainable information the Federal
Government is gradually withdraw
ing relief and placing this respon
sibility on each community where
it doubtles properly belongs. Bear
in mind that should you become
member of our Community Chest
or renew your former membership
only 50cts. of your membership fee
goes to National Headquarters, the
remainder stays at home for local
relief. This is true whether you sub
scribe $1.00 or $100.00. All subscrip
tions from firms and corporations
are used locally, no firm nor co
operation being permitted member
ship in the Red Cross.
As Chairman of the Annual Rcll
Call I appeal to the traditional gen
erosity of our people to assist all
that they possible can in this great

WAR VETERANS
humanitarian work. Especially do we
appeal to our friends In the districts
outside uf Milledgeville to give of
their substance. All gifts will be
gratefully received and should be
carried to Miss Emmie Riley who
can be found on Hancock street in
the business section of Milledgeville.
This work and sacrifice for others
is our duty and responsibility and
we urge every one to enroll as a
member and have a part in this great
humanitarian and Christian en
deavor.
The drive commences November
19th—a committee will call on you
for your subscription and we ask
that you be as liberal as possible as
the needs this winter will be greater
than ever before.
Sincerely,
OTTO M. CONN
Chairman Red Cross Roll Call and
Local Community Chest Drive.
Mayor, City of Milledgeville, Ga.
If there are any “doubting Thom
ases” in our city and couniy who
question the necessity of a Red
Cross Roll Call and Community
Chest campaign this year I would
ask them to examine the records of
our office for the past year. The
records are there to be seen at any
time by any body. Just a casual ex
amination will prove convincing.
Even the most calloused examiner
after the most cursory examination,
I am sure, would cry out as did the
original doub*er, “My Lord and my
God,” and the cry, I am equally
sure, would be prompted by
science. Certainly there is nc
in so Christian community, a
make bold to assert who can hold
himself indifferent to the chapters
of human sufferings that have been
written into our records this yen-
And the coming year bids fair to
aidd even more tragic chapters to
our records.
It is well for those of us, who
would shirk this evident duty of
relief to our brothers in need to re
member that it was the world’s first
murderer who first asked the ques
tion, “Am I my brother’s keeper?'
There is no doubt in my mind that
the community at large will accept
fully the responsibility that arises
from this evident patriotic and
ligious duty of relief to the poor, the
needy, and the suffering. I
that if there are any anticipate not
giving to this Drive that they do
not from a desire of shirking a i
sponsibility but because they think
