Because of greatly increased responsibilities in the national defense program the Red Cross has appealed to the nation for a 1941 membership comparable to that of the first World War when more than 18,000,000 adult Americans gave their support. Membership in the Red Cross is more than a sentimental indorsement of good will. The fentire machinery of Red Cross peacetime operations has been geared into a vital part of our military and civilian defenses. Red Cross membership dollars thus are transformed into a tangible means of protecting the American way of life. The Red Cross is on the job with the Army and Navy here and abroad, providing an important line of communication between the service man to live they had resided in Free- | and hig famj,y feack home With 2 _ port.
