For the contributors, both business and residential, and, more particularly, for the wonderful solicitors, you can; catch spring fever with the pleasurable assurance that you have contributed to a very worthy cause without the dire specter of an Ohio river flood, of a Kansas tornado, or an Alanskan earthquake to help you to see the big picture. "As chairman of the McHenry Red Cross drive, it seemed a little unnecessary to order in a major emergency to remind you that your subscription of about a dollar a year to relieve heartbreaks will come back to you in a feeling of "being human" even more than the solace it offers you as a major tax reduction. It is a memorable pleasure to have had the backing and the help of the many businessmen and residents of the town in this drive. "The business area of this city was canvassed completely, thanks to the volunteer assistance of eleven fine business men and two business women. A few businesses -- like catching fish -- got away. Their contributions will not be scoffed at if mailed directly to the American Red Cross, McHenry County chapter, Woodstock, Overall, according to my reckoning, business contributions in McHenry were up 33 percent over last year -- a figure in which you can take pride! Parts of the residential area were better canvassed than be-- fore -- namely, Center street, Cooney Heights, and Edgebrook Heights, with dollar-warming results. For the most part, much of the residential canvassing was delayed, and in some areas missing, so the overall results are not as good as anticipated. "The help of teen-agers was the salvation of the solicitation. They did the job quickly, thoroughly, and with a dedication that is most commendable. This brings to light the fact that just as adults have outgrown certain responsibilities in this modern era, the sacrifice of their time is too much to ask, For, those adults who helped wholeheartedly -- you need no reminder, your conscience is warmly relaxed. For those who maintain that the same ones do it every time; that it is tOQ much bother; that there are too many fund drives -- can you live with those excuses, when each hour of your time in Red Cross solicitation will add $10 to the annual drive? All that is needed is enough: solicitors so that no area is a major burden. Can you defend your position as an adult i(| your area in not helping a recognized good cause and allow an often, much abused teenager to out-enthuse and out* work you? "Will you please make up your mind about Red Cross, Either it is deserving or it is not. It is not necessary to take up a solicitor's volunteered time to elaborate on an excuse. The old bromide that cigarettes were mishandled and that some serviceman didn't get his free is a little limp compared to the Big Picture of a major organization equipped to do things. "Red Cross •-- in McHenry, in McHenry county, in the world -- has survived over a long period of time for one, reason -- it has accomplished big jobs (and a lot of little ones) that you, as an individual (no matter how humane) cannot do alone! "Your eager anticipation for participation in the Next Red Cross drive in 1965 will be ap» preciated. William E. Plctor Chairman, 1964 McHenry Red Cross Drive."
