Red Cross Campaign Week May 20-27
From Clark County (IL) Democrat, 22 May 1918
Submitted by;
Cindy McCachern
During the week above mentioned the American Red Cross will conduct
its campaign to raise a fund of One Hundred Million Dolars
($100,000,000.00) for the purpose of carrying on its activities
among
the soldiers in this country and abroad and in giving civilian
service as well.
It should be unnecessary to remind you that the Red Cross organized
under Federal authority is the most important agency for relief in
war conditions in this country and abroad. Its manifold
activities
all have a direct bearing on the welfare of our men in the Army and
Navy and families and on our Allies.
The State Council of Defence urges every member of every committee
to
assist in this campaign to the extent of their ability.
Anderson, Darwin, Douglas, Marshall, Melrose, Wabash and York
townships are working under the direction of the Marshall Chapter.
Headquarters are in the States Attorney's office and in case you
want
any information or suggestions, they will be gladly and promptly
furnished.
These townships will be worked by school districts. Committees
have
been appointed in each school district that will have in charge the
raising of your school district's quota of the second Red Cross War
Fund.
The amount given each district to raise was set after careful
consideration of the conditions governing. Every effort was
made to
have all quotas as near equal as possible after all points were
considered.
You can readily see who your committe consists of and every resident
in your district should do all they can to make this work a complete
success. The responsibility for this work is yours
individually so
far as results are concerned.
Subscriptions will be solicited by the Committee after plans have
been formulated by which the money can be raised. You are
expected
to give cheerful support to the plan in your district. In case
you
cannot pay cash with your subscription, you may pay one forth of the
amount monthly for four months.
This paper will next week publish the list of the districts and the
results in each. You will want your district to show your
quota
raised in full of course. None should be too busy to help, and
everyone in the district should make it a matter of deep concern to
see that your full quota was raised and promptly.
The work should be pushed to successful completion as quickly as
possible and your report sent in to Headquarters promptly on its
completion.
This is a big job and it is up to you to see that it is
finished
right. This matter is urgent, the time is short, the money
must be
had. Let us have a quick, snappy campaign and put it over.
Ben T. Baird Chariman.
