HAPPINESS

RENSSELAER. INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 17. IS2O

KEEP WHEELS OF MERCY MOVING

BY RENEWING 4 OR TAKING NEW MEMBERSHIP IN THE RED CROSS. The Red Cross fourth roll call is in progress over thb country, and members are responding to their names with renewals in .’a manner that proclaims this great organization of mercy to be no less revered in peace than it was in war. It is one of -the great anck needful organizations that functioned in the war without-the slightest indication of a breakdown, and wince the war it has been functioning in the same efficient and helpful manner. Indeed, it may be recalled that the Red Cross was a great and powerful organization for good m the world before ft was tested in war. And so it is again, functioning as it did when we used to support it exclusively .by the purchase of Christmas seals. The war gave us an opportunity to become shareholders in the institution with a voice and vote through county auxiliaries in its management. Three times the memben have been called upon to enroll and they did so with a surprising willingness, old members bringing into the organization many new ones. Now the fourth calling of the roll is being made and voices everywhere are answering “heje!” which interpreted means that they renew their allegiance for another year. - A slogan was used by a group of Red Cross enthusiasts who bought a page in one of the widely circulating of the country to boost' the fourth roll call. They make use of a slogan or catch phrase, to define the work of the Red Cross membership which we think is sufficient to arouse the generous ’spirit that is withip the heart of all of us. It is this: \ “The Rbd Cross membership keeps the wheels of mercy moving at home and abroad.” \ That covers the importance of a membership completely. And here are a few facta that Red Cross members ought to know, if they do not already, which are calculated to make a prouder member of the one who has never let the opportunity slip when he. had a chance to keep himself enrolled under the banner of the “mother to misfortune”: I Last year in the United States, your Red Cross aided more than 80,000 victims of flood, fire, tornado or other disaster in 150 stricken communities. ~ - * ' Last year 92,000 women andgirls, under Red Cross instruction, completed courses in home care of the sick. The Red Cross health center teaches the people how. to keep well. A ‘ Red Cross first aid instruction courses have been taught to more than 1,000,000 persons in this country. Each one of these is a potential life-saver and many have been actual life-savers. On July 1, 1920, there were still 28,414 men in the army, navy and gublic health hospitals in the United tates receiving Red Cross ministrations. . . Ever since demobilization your Red Cross has kept in constant touch with tiie families of 800,000 soldiers and sailors and marines. This service has embraced almost everything from supplying first aid to seeing a man through to the best job his disabilities will permit.
