TODAY FIRST OF
RED CROSS WEEK
I vocal Committee la Arranging for
I
Campaign la Valdes and Wants
Volunteer Help
Red Cross week begins today. It
has been planned by the national or
ganisation for the week proceeding
Christmas and the program outlined
calls for daily meetings and personal
canvass by volunteer workers for
membership subscriptions.
Printed matter of various sorts in
cluding posters came on the steamer
last Saturday to Dr. Silverman, chair
man of the Valdez Red Cross organ
ization. A local committee had already
been appointed by the chairman to
promote the cause during the week.
The most Important factor is deemed
to be a personal canvass for members
by individual workers. For this nu
merous volunteers are wanted. Ladies
in particular, are urged to devote as
much time as they can spare to the
work, and all who are willing to take
part are requested to report forthwith
to Dr. Silverman and get Instructions
and books of certificates.
Various classes of membership may
be taken, from the annual member
ship for one dollar to a life member
ship of fifty dollars. One life mem
bership was taken today. Valdez has
already made notable records In Red
Cross and Liberty Bond subscriptions
and nobody fears that the town will
become a slacker now.
The program recommended calls
for the following program for the
week:
Monday. December 17—Publica
tion of Governor's Proclamation ar
. anged by the division offices. Public
statement by chapter chairman and
by the commanding officer of any ar
my or navy post wlthfn the district. !
Tuesday, December 18—Civil Em-1
pioyes’ Day. Proclamation by the may
or. liaising of Red Cross flag on the
principal municipal building.
Wednesday, December 19—Wo
men's Day, on which special tribute |
should be paid to the work which wo
men are doing in the Red Cross. Meet
ings of local women’s organizations.
Special exercises in workroom, etc.j
Peak of the house to house canvass, j
Thursday, December 20—School
Day, on which every teacher will
speak- upon the significance of the Red
Cross and upon the significance of the
Christmas ceremony.
Friday. December 21—Employees'
Day, on which special tribute should
be paid to the support which the lab
oring man Is giving to the Red Cross.
Concentrate on certain large factories
on this day with speeches, solicita
tions, etc.
Saturday. December 22. — Boy
Scouts’ Day, on which Boy Scouts will
;e organized for canvass for member
ship.
Sunday, Devember 23—Church Day
on which Christmas sermons on the
ted Cross will be preached in every
church.
Monday, December 24.—Bed Cross
Ceremony Day. At 7:30 on Christmas
Eve candles will placed behind Red
Cross Service Flags in every home.
Workers will carol through the streets
and church bells will chime.
It is plain that the program sug
gested was designed for large cities,
and small towns will only follow so
much of it as Is practicable under lo
cal conditions. For obvious reasons
no attempt at any kind of street cele
bration will be made in Valdez, but
it is hoped that the suggestions for
Women's Day, School Day and Boy
Scouts’ Day will be carried out, and
the committee will aid in every pos
sible way.
