Winnetka Falls Far B War Fund Contribu & v ehind i in Red Cross tions; Ask Help T oday ~ A final appeal is being made: to all those who have not yet been reached by the Red Cross members'to send in a contribution to the Third War. Fund. : : Unfortunately, the War Fund was not equally emphasized with the Roll Call early in the campaign, so that while the enrollment for. mem- bership has been entirely successful, donations to the Fund have not been as numerous as should be. Because of this it has been necessary to inaugurate a "follow-up" canvass to ascertain whether it has been com-]. pletely understood that contributions for the vear should begin at the present time. Many such contribu- tions have been withheld in anticipa- tion of the supplementary campaign. For three years the interests of all local charities and relief and edu- cational erganizations have been sub- ordinated to the immediate and com- pelling demands of the war. At present 'an' all- enveloping wave of consciousness is passing over the land that all forms of social service, the churches. the hospitals and 'the universities have suffered and been weakened by the divergence of "the efforts of their supporters into war channels. The consequence is, that the resources of the communities are having such demands made upon them that even the Red Cross is ex- periencing difficulty in 'carrying through its Third Roll Call and War Fund campaign, This is the last appeal which will] be necessary for the needs resulting from the great war, but the work entrusted to the Red Cross must be finished with the economy and effi- : FR va ciency which, has characterized it operation throughout the war. ; The end of the duties of the Am- erican Red Cross abroad: is in sight. The main, objective of the organiza- tion now is to conclude these duties in an orderly 'and businesslike man- ner. The United States government' has placed in the hands of the Red Cross, to be used in needed reliel work in Europe, $35,000,000 worth of medical and food supplies. There is no other organization which could have been entrusted by the govern- .ment with a responsibility of such magnitude. While the overseas work is drawing rapidly toward completion, the after- math of War has brought to the Am- eriean Red Cross new 'and' Heavy domestic responsibilities. In the hospitals throughout the country are thousands of our sol- diers, sailors and marines. They are still disabled as a result of 'the part they 'played in the great' war. The Red Cross must continue to minister, | in cooperation with the: Government, to their comfort and welfares until their discharge is: possible. The' American Red. Cross is "the National clearing house for Disaster 'Relief, and is constantly prepared to rush Supplies and nurses to any dist- rict afflicted by. a great catastrophe. 'If YOU, perchance, have been over- looked in the canvass, will you net AT ONCE: send. in as generous a chetk as your means will allow to the Winnetka chairman, Mrs. Harry 'F. 'Williams, . 650, Sheridan road? Tt is not too late and Winnetka must not fail to live: up to hes obligations! 'That is not.the Winnetka way! Checks should be made payable to the Third Red. Cross War Fund.
