RED CROSS DRIVE
FOR MEMBERSHIP
CHRISTMAS WEEK
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. — A na-,
tionwide Christmas membership drive
is planned by the Red Cross war coun-j
i-il. The building up of a Red Cross*
membership to the 15,000,000 mark;
in the United States is the goal. This j
means an addition of approximately
10.000,000 names to the present mus-j
ter roll, now a little over 5,000,000.
The drive is to start December 17
and continue unceasingly until Chri.>t
mas eve. The general features which
were worked out at the conference,
in which representatives of each Red
Cross division of the United Stales
participated, include a national mem
bership drive committee, which has
l>eon appointed by the war coun ii.
The membership committee, of
which Theodore N. Vail, president of
the American Telegraph & Telephone
Company is chairman, and D»* H. N.
McCracken, president of Vassal* col
lege is executive secretary, will have
general charge of planning and later
conducting the whole campaign. The
other members of the committee are:

“Make It a Bed Christmas"
The recruiting slogan is to he
“Make It a Red Christmas.” The
idea is that every one who takes out
a membership in the Red Cross during
the drive period will be known as a
“Christmas member.” The effort will
practically be limited to securing
members paying annual dues of $1 or
$2 in the case of subscribing or maga
zine members.
During Red Cross week in June, the
$100,000,000 mark set by the war
I council was oversubscribed, giving
I assurance of national interest in Red
[Cross work which should make the
[Christmas membership drive equally
successful.
i Division membership Christmas
| drive committees are to be selected by
division managers. These committees
) will work under general direction of
j the national committee. Each of the
I 3.000 Red Cross chapters will also ap
point committees to co-operate under
j the guidance of the respective divi
I sion committees.
“This is the country’s first Christ
| mas in the world war, and I believe
that the people will be thinking of
service rather than of festivities,'”
said C. D. Stimson, division manager
of the Northwestern division of the
American lied Cross. Mr. St’mson
believes that the three states of Ida
ho, Oregon and Washington, and
Alaska, all in his territory, will res
; pond to the appeal, and roll up a
; membership three or four times its
i present number.
“This Northwest territory,” con
tinued Mr. Stimson, “is practically
untouched, but is making enormous
membership gains daily. The Christ
: mas week drive will bring a new im
| petus to the people, because they will
• want to express their sympathy and
pledge evidences of support and loy
alty to their government, the Red
I Cross and the boys in France at
j Christmas time.

I do not ask 50 per cent profit to other
goods to sell some at cost in order to make
the public believe that 1 am giving them bar
gains. The size of the package or can will
speak for itself.
