Tho snow storm last weok, and tho
prevalence of inlluenza in ninny sec
tions of the county, interferred to
qulto nn extent with tho Red Cross
Roll Call meetings booked for the

tho districts are somewhat slow in

tho districts which havo so far re
ported aro showing up woll. One dis
trict south of Brady sent in a 100 per
cent report, another in the east part
of tho county reported that all fami
lies with but one exception had on
rolled, while other districts report al
most as heavy a percentage. In dis
tricts where meetings wore not held
and whero the storm and flu Interfer
red with a canvass of tho residents,
the work will bo performed when
weather and flu conditions Improve
It will therefore be a weok or more
befofe Chairman Souder will bo able

The Magnet of Patriotism
Has Drawn 12,000 Bell Men
When tho call camo for trained telephone men for the Army
Signal Corps, the number of Boll employees who volunteered was
greatly in excess of tho number needed.
More than 12,000 men havo left the Boll Telephone System to
enter military service. More than 20 of the men from our main
tenance and construction forces are now with tho colors. , .
Despite those war losses, the military requirements of the
government and the greatly increased neods for service in indus
trial and commercial work have been met.
It has been diffioult to give continuous and uninterrupted
eervice undor war-time conditions, but it has been done and with
the co-operation of tho public it will continuo.
