Workers.
Mobilization of tbe vast array ot
Red Cross workers Las begun. Re-
ports reaching Red Cross division
headquarters in St. Louis indicate that
plans for the Third Roll Call. Novem-
ber 2 te 11, are well under way in
almost every one ot the 685 Red Cross
Chapters in the states-—Missouri.
Kansas, Texaa, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas — comprising the Southwestern
UfTisfoa.
Chapter Roll Gall Directors have
tie*!, appointed In virtually every etty,
town and county and with but few
exceptions working organizations are
process of formation at each place.
b'iate Directors have been appointed
to take charge of the rapidly forming
machine. Added impetus has been
given to the preliminary campaign by
the holding of State-wide Roll Call
conferences recently at St. Louis,
To.peka, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma
City and Little Rock, at which definite
campaign plans affecting every section
each State in the division were
decided upon.
Meanwhile, responses to the call for
1,000.000 volunteer workers to serve
during the coming drive are pouring >
In by the hundreds to Red Cross
headquarters. "Once n Red Cross
worker, always a Red Cross worker"
is the slogan adopted. Soldiers,
sailors and marines, some of whom
were in {he th ick of the fighting*
overseas, are offering their services.
JIany of these men will be utilized
as speakers to describe some of the
benefits accruing to the fighting men
by reason of the presence of the Red
Cross In the field of hostilities.
During the first part of the cam-
paign there will be a house-to-house
canvassing for Red Cross member-
ships under a distinct arrangement;
but on the last two days diatrlct lines
will be disregarded and former service
men as well as wojilftn volunteer
workers will take up their tasks wltli
roving commissions. Not only art'
discharged service men wanted, U
Red Cross canvassers but State and
National Guardsmen are urged to
«nroll as quickly as possible. The
Red Cross welcomes assistance of all
former Army and Navy officers and
men who approved of the work of the
Red Cross during the war.
Speakers and writers art being
tomtit by the organization and asked
ttfpio their bit." Numerous accept-
ances already have been received from
speakers and at present a determined
effort is being made to obtain the
services of all newspaper men who
aaw service overseas and are qualified
to speak or write of their adventures.
A Preliminary campaign 1a being
waged through text posters and other
printed matter that has bean aent to
throughout the country.
Red Cross officials ara atraaalng
the point that the drive la to be made
for membershlpa only and that a*
appeal la contemplated wherein the
general public will be asked for fnnda.
An encouraging number of pnblte
aplrlted man and women through the
dlvfcloo already have applied at Red
GrdS Chapters asking a renewal of
memberships Mr neat year.
Soldiers, sailors and m*rlne , many
ot whom saw active service overseas,
are responding la appreciable numbers
to the call of the R^ti Crows for volun-
teer workers In ths Third Red Cross
Kail Call, November 3 to .11.
These service men, who felt- the
Wildly care of the Red Cross from tb«
day they auswered the call to arms,
are Pager to sipress their gratitude to
"the Greatest Mother" by becoming
members of ths American Rod Cross.
The Red Cross fed thsin when they
were hungry, aside them laugh whaa
they were tired and worn out, eared
for their wonads and their disease*,
and helped then readjust themselves
to civilian life. Is It any wonder they
want to show the American people

Our Red Cross Section
For the benefit of our Canadian Chapter Ameri-
can Red Cross and to boost the membership drive
to be held next-\\ eek. the Record this week, in co-
operation with Mr. Will Crow, publicity chairman
of the Canadian Chapter, issuing a Red Cross Mem-
bership 1 )rive Section of the paper.
The purpose of the Red Cross Section is to get
people to have, more definitely on their minds the
Membership ])rivc, to educate them to expect to be
Red Cross Alcmbcrs tor 1920. People can know a
tiling but miles- they talk; it and read it and think
it. they do not consider it seriously. This edition is
to g'et them to consider seriously the opportunitv
to become a child ot "The Greatest Mother in life
\\ orhl," and to put Canadian's campaign over the
top 100 per cent.
Those who contributed to advertising this drive
deserve the thanks of the public lor giving- the cam-
paign suq1| wide publicity.
We believe thai this edition will give the Red
Cross Member.-hip Campaign a start that will en-
able them to quickly complete it. The reading
matter in this section will give you a wide fund of
information about the Red Cross and its work.
We are glad of this opportunity ol helping the Ca-
nadian Chapter. It has given us a big task this
week and the remuneration is small, but knowing
that we have been engaged in a work that brings
cheer to so many hearts in the world in the minis-
trations of the Red Cross, is a reward in itself.
Soldiers to Direct Drive Red Cross Drive
Will Open on
November 2nd
Returned soldiers and Bailors In a
large number of Red Cross Chapters
of the Southwestern Division of the
i Red Cross—Missouri, Kansas, Texas,
■ Arkansas and Oklahoma—have ac-
! cepted the directorship of the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, Nov. 2 to 11, ac- '
cording to a recent announcement I
That this willingness not only to be-
come members of the organization but
to engage actively In tbe campaign to
perpetuate the American Red Cross'
for future work indicates the high re- j
gard in which service men hold the
Red Cross, is the belief of Alfred Fair-
bank, Division Manager. |
"The fact that the young men who
have served their country bo cour-
ageously, and who have seen the Red
Cross at work, are willing to assist so
actively in its continuance should ap-1
peal to every man, woman and child
in the country.

When the Third Red Cross Roll Call
of members Is completed on Armistice
Day, November 11, it is expected that
2,000,000 persons in Missouri, Kansas,
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma—the
states comprising the Southweetetq
Division of the Red Cross—will have,
answered "here" and have been en-
rolled as annual members at the
organization.
Inasmuch as this Is a decrease ot
3&3.619 members under the record of
last year, when 2,386,619 members
were obtained during the Christmas
Roll Call from a population of approx-
imately 13,928,000, Red Cross officials
look forward to putting the Division
first "over the top" with comparatively
little difficulty. The nation-wide cam-
paign this year Is expected to yield
more than 20,0,00,000 members. As in
all previous campaigns, the fee for .
yearly membership Is fl. '' ■

Reports rcac'hing the Division office
in St. Louis tell also of the co-operation
being extended by hundred of sol-
diers, sailors and marines, who are
able, many of them, to tell "first per-
son" stories of what the Red Cross
did for them while the fighting was
going on. These chaps are being en-
rolled aB speakers, writers and active
workers. In addition, "four-minute"
men, lawyers, newspaper men and
others qualified are scheduled to
address audiences during the campaign
on the subject of the Red Cross appeal.
Advertising Campaign.
Enthusiasm in the campaign is be-
ing stimulated by the appearance ot
thousands of posters, window displays,
Red Cross flags and other adjuncts ot
the country-wide advertising campaign
now being carried on. Newspapers
are carrying page, half-page and
smaller advertisements bearing the
Red Cross message, while periodicals,
magazines and billboards, as well as
street cars, trains, mercantile estab-
lishments and department store win-
dows, all carry their quota of Red Cross
.advertising. Moving picture shows are
exhibiting Red Cross films in a gigan-
tic motion picture campaign that hag
for its object the education of the
American people to the present-day
needs of the American Red Cross.
Red Cross campaign officials have
announced that the present drive is
one for membership, not funds. In
view of the large amount of work still
to be completed abroad and the re*
newed activity Incident to the incep*
tion in America of the Red Cross
