City 6hairnlan Mrs. M. E. Scott, of
tho nod Cross roll call, has not, by
reason of tho Christmas season ac
tivities, fully completed hor -work, hut
staged yesterday .afternoon that the
Red (Jross membership In North Platte
would reach nearly, If not altogether,
threo thousand. Nearly nlno hundred
of these memberships wore secured
by ,a ' hoiuae to houso canvass In tho
four Wards of the city, and a little
over 2000 were secured In the business
BOcMon of Uie city, N. E. Buckley
Having chnrgo of tho down town dis
trict While those 3,000 constitute a
larger membership than was secured
for the 1918 roll call, it falls far short
of a one hjundrod por cent campaign;
but It must bo taken Into considera
tion tlmt members of tho Junior Rod
Cross were exempt from membership
In tho parent organization and that
thero are hundreds of members In tho
Junior order. Taken altogether It may
bo said that the roll call met with ex
cellent, success In North Platta
Mrs. Scott feels very grateful to tho
soliciting committees for their juntir
'lng work and requests Tho Tribune
to oxtond to them hor thanks.
