The Red Cross Service Flag is used to show how many people in your home are Fed Cross Members. If only one person is a Red Cross Member, you use the Flag with only the large Red Cross on it. If two persons are Members, you add one small Red Cross. If three persons are Members you add two small Red Crosses, and so on, adding one small Red Cross for each additional Member in your home. But if EVERYBODY in your home is a Member, including the baby and the maid, then in addition to the small Red Crosses for each Member, you paste a WHITE STAR in the center ef the large Red Cross. You can secure the small Red Crosses and the White Star at any Red Cress I3oo vou take out your memberships. Hammond Chapter American Red Cross
