The American Red Cross needs $50,000,000.00.. The quota of the Chicago chapter is $3,750,000»â€" The Highland Park branch of the Chicago chapter has been assigned a quota of $20,000.00. This community has a reputation for completing its allotments, no matter what the project. We have never been asked to do anything of greater importance or to meet a more pressing need than to see to it that the Red Cross quota is filled promptly. In the event of air raid attack or Highland Park, it will be the Red Cross that will succor us, provide food, shelter and medication, and help us to carry on. It is otgonght and just that we do our share for this splendid organization. Governor Dwight Green will visit Highland Park next Saturday afternoon at 5:30 p. m. to make the dedicatory address at the formal opening of the USO Service Mens Club, Governor Green is making a fine record as Illinois‘ wartime governor, and is extremely busy. Our community has every right to feel itself highly honored by the The women of Hfi::d Park have responded splendidly to the opportunity offered to 1 Red Cross first aid: So great has been the response that it is now necessary to ask for additional instructors, who are needed so that the Red Cross may have the assistance of as many trained workers as possible. After a period when lipstick, rouge, etc., were forbidden to the girls and women doing war work in England, it was noticed that unâ€" adorned feminine faces added little to morale, so the ban was lifted. Today English girls carry their lipsticks and powder puffs as legitiâ€" mate war equipment. The improvement in their appearance and morale has been noticeable. Here in Highland Park we have the Girls Service Organization, made up of young ladies who attend dances and other events held for the service men, so the soldiersâ€"and sailors can keep up their social contacts and maintain morale. These girls are doing an unselfish, helpful job. When the USO club was hufi. provision was made for their convenience by the addition of a powder room. We are told this room is coldly unattractive and unadorned. Seems this offers governor‘s visit. e RED CROSS QUOTA e â€" A SIGNAL HONOR That Little Soul Relation I’venntv‘vithm_lnyygppk From many walks of life I‘ve quickly formed conclusions Of Aheir share in joy and strife I‘ve rated some folks happy When maybe they were sad And others I have pitied When maybe they were glad.
