2 mom Em om =| WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1917. EE BE KN VOLUNTEERS SIGN 600 TO ASSIST RED CROSS Sunday Afternoon Campaign Boosts Winnetka Membership List. The War Emergency union of Winnetka felt that it was up to the men to see that Winentka did her part in the big campaign for new members now being conducted by the Chicago chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross. A membership campaign committee was accordingly organized, and a call for volunteers for a Red Cross can- vass was made at the men's drills on Wednesday and Thursday even- ings of last week. Over 40 men en listed for this patriotic service. The Boy Scouts were called upon, and furnished about 25 additional vol- unteers. These men and boys made a house to house canvass of the en- tire village last Sunday afternoon, and notwithstanding that over 400 of our citizens were reported by the canvassers as having previously joined, about 600 new members were enrolled that afternoon. With the applications and dues that have been turned in up to May 16, the figures stand as follows: New members, 667; dues collected, $1093.00. Several lists are still to be turned in, and we are confident that by the end of the week the total enrollment of new members secured as a result of our campaign will exceed 700. Anyone in the village who has not yet joined the Red Cross can leave his application with money for dues at Community house, and it will be promptly forwarded to headquarters in Chicago. Winnetka will be given the credit for your membership if it is sent in to the office of the War Emergency union, at Community house.
