Red Cross is
Closing Drive
Drive to Wind Up Thanksgiving Bay
Louisville Leads the Various
Chapters of County.
Roll Call for membership in Red
Cross closes Thanksgiving day. The
Cass County Chapter officers wish to
thank those volunteers assisting with
the roll call for their splendid serv
ice. Some communities found only
one volunteer for this service; others
secured groups who assisted them;
some members renewed their mem
bership without special contact.
Surely it is most gratifying to those
officers who are striving to build
carefully ard efficiently for emer
gencies to have the support of such
loyal volunteers and substantial
membership. As tragedies and dis
asters occur and the newspapers
carry items of Red Cross taking
charge of relief, may each one of you
fcsl that satisfaction of spirit that
your membership has helped to make
such Red Cross service possible. Red
Cross of the world is your Red Cross,
Cass Cci nty Chapter is your Red
Cross chapter.
Louisville leads the chapters of the
county with some 200 paid up members.
