Red Cross Roil Call Opens Next Monday to Meet Community Need The annual Roll Call o.‘ the Red 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 TRIBUTE PAID 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 (Continaed on back page) CATHOLIC PLAN WEEK’S MISSION Father Hardy to Coadoct Si-mcn at Sacred Heert Catholic Church.
