Have you joined the Red Cross? It costs just one dollar. Can you (io more with vour dollar than this? . - A GOOD SUGGESTION. The following communication to The Chronicle from June of the city’s most public-spirited citizens, nets forth a splendid suggestion and we are glad to give it publicity : i Editor The Chronicle: Clinton is a pretty big town to be without a name. This may sound ridiculous but it’s true and should he remedied. What is meant is this: The writer having had Occasion to be at the passenger station at the time of passing through of the “ Vestibule” and other passenger trains several times lately, was reminded of this fact forcibly. Passengers, de siring to ascertain what this good tow n was when they were passing through, leaned from their seats and peered around through the windows at the end of the station for a glimpse of the name but none greeted them. There has never been any there, though it seem* strange. European »a it road systems have name posts on both sides of towns at begin ning of yards and several at stating itself apd it is strange the United States has not adopted this too. This is only a suggestion^ with the hope that it -wiU-gst— the propeV parties interested. Why not an upto-date electric sign on the top of the station ? Our Commercial Club would not bo going wrong in consid ering this as it should be a matter of civic* interest. ‘‘Citizen.’* The suggestion of “Citizen” is The complete accounting to the American people of money contributed and ex pended, as _well as the work done by the American Red Cross during the period In which the war council was In control" of Its affairs. The war council was appointed May 19, 1919, and went out of existence February 28, 1919. “It was the practice of the war council to give complete publicity to its policies and finances, but it is only now that a ^picture of the war period as a whole can be presented. It la the feeling of the war council that a report In this summarized form should be made directly to the public which provided the money and gave the ef fort which made the American Red Cross a success. “A statement of the American Red Cross effort and finances since the war council relinquished Its control will be made to the public through the executive committee, and it is 1 im portant, therefore, that the fact that this report coven the period only until March 1, should be carefully noted." Following are certain round figures covering American Red Cross partici pation in the war, as revsaled by ths war council’s report: Soma Outstanding Figures. Contributions received (material and money). $400,000^00 Red Cross members: Adults, 20,000,000; Children, 11.000,000 ... 81,000,000 Red Cross workers 8,10^000 1 Want While You Can You Will Find Some Real Bargains Below. 37L5fr,000 500,000 40,000,000 Relief articles produced * hr volunteer workers..

Chronicle has called the piiblic’s attention to this matter of “ naming Fine building'lots north side of town on Broad and Elizabeth Streets at real bargain prices. 2 Nice sized dwelling lots on South side of Cent ennial Street for $850 each. 1 dwelling lots on Cleve land Street facing east for $1150 each. 2 dwelling lots on Cleve land St. facing west for $750 each. 2 residence lots on N. Owens St. facing east for $500 each. the town” on several occasions, and a short while before the death of the late President Livingston of the C. N. & L. road, we took the matter up with him in the hope of having an attractive sign placed on the building by his road since the city has never provided an etectrhrsign near the station. The suggestion of “Citizen” that the Commercial Club interest itself in the idea is a good one too. It may sound like a little thing but it means a ‘great deal. It is just as essential for a town to advertise as it is for its business houses. - If the Commercial Club Wants to render a public service worth while, it will See that this long- talked-of need is supplied., 155,000 Of the $400,000,000 In money and supplies, contributed to the American Red Cross during the twenty months the war council was In existence, $263,000,000 was alloted to national headquarters, while $137*000,000 went to the chapters to finance their ac tivities.
