Our Roll Call funds should meet our
normal needs, and add something to
our reserves for the great disasters.
We must have a large reserve. No
one can tell wtyen a situation may
arise when this reserve will be essen

“The Red Cross cannot wait to
raise funds,” Judge Payne declared.
“Action prompt, instant, is its life
Instant action means the lives of
many.' It mast be strong, it must be
ready; this means a large reserve.”
