#2 November 21, 1925 WINNETKA TALK ANSWERED THE ROLL? Red Cross in Second Week of Annual Appeal for Memberships; Thanks- giving is Final Day The American Red Cross, 516 S. Michigan avenue, is in the second week of its roll call for 300,000 mem- bers at $1 each. Mrs. George A Mec- Kinlock, chairman of the roll call, Chi- cago chapter, says: "There are five good reasons why every good citizen should be a mem- ber of the Red Cross. "First, it is the most far-reaching dollar you can spend. "Second, it expresses your gratitude to the thousands of men who can never leave their beds; it pays for rent, food and clothes of the men's families; and it is enabling thousands of men to get their government com- pensations. "Third, your dollar works for the civilian. Through classes in home nurs- ing, first aid and life saving, it reduces loss of life from preventable diseases and accidents. "Fourth, fifty cents of your dollar goes to the national Red Cross. In case of disaster it may return to your locality one hundred fold. During the past fiscal year, the Red Cross gave relief following more than 90 disasters. Only one special appeal for funds was made to the public, and that was for the worst disaster that ever occurred in the United States. "Fifth, your Red Cross dollar works for future generations. Through the Junior Red Cross, 5,000,000 young peo- ple in this country and 4,000,000 in 30 ~*her countries have a chance to be- come acquainted with each other through international school corres- pondence. The hope is that one gen- eration will grow up in intelligent friendliness." Mrs. McKinlock paused, then added, "I repeat, these are five good reasons why every good citizen should have on a Red Cross button, and don't for- get the drive is over on Thanksgiving day. Join early."
