September 1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Junior Red Cross Opens New Year of Intensive Activity More than six and one-half million school children in 27,500 elementary and high schools throughout the United States, of which 600,000 chil- dren in 634 schools of the Chicago area, are included, will return to their Junior Red Cross work with the open- ing of school for the most intensive program ever attempted by the or- ganization, according to Miss Verall D. Wright, director of Junior Red Cross work in the Chicago area. Figures recently compiled show that every state in the union is represented in the Junior Red Cross as are the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone, Virgin Islands and Haiti. During the summer vacation 'this year Junior Red Cross members in the Chicago area entertained the ex- service men of the Municipal Tuber- culosis sanitarium and Oak Forest sanitarium, at a circus, the rodeo and the police field day. Regular pro- grams were also held at the North Chicago hospital and favors and other party accessories were forwarded the men at the Fort Lyon, Colo., and Fort Bayard, N. M., hospitals. The 1928-29 calendar for the Junior Red Cross covers a long list of service activities through which the children are taught unselfish service. The or- ganization gained approximately 600,- 000 new members last year and 3,000 new enrolled schools. A like gain is anticipated for this school year.
