Red Cross Notes
Sadte K. vonTresckow
American Red Cross operatiops at
home and abroad will reach their war
time peak in 1945, Mr. Basil O’Connor,
chairman of the American Red Cross,
said recently in announcing that the
minimum goal for the Red Cross Fund
to be raised ip March, 1946, bad been
fixed at 1180,000,000.
Tbe Central Committee set the goal
following careful review of budget
estimates for American Red Cross
work in the United States and over
seas for the year'beginning March 1,
1945 campaign. ..
“Our new budgets,” *Mr. O’Connor
said, "represent an appreciable in
crease in the services we will render
in Ehirope, in the Pacific and at home,
but we have been able to keep the
total 1946 goal slightly under the one
for 1944 because of over subscription
of our. earlier campaigns and certain
economies in this year’s operations.
“After personally inspecting our
operations in England and on the
Continent, and ^ after conferring with
Generals Elsenfiower, Bradley, Patton
Hearty and cheeiy '
And happy and tnie,
An ever so feivent

of Camden have responded to tbe
urgent need for women to serve in
the Women's Army Corps. A greater
response is needed if the war is
brought to a successful close any time
soon. All women between the ages of
20 and 50 years of age, either married
or single, with no children under 14
years of age, with high school-educa
tion, in good health and of excellent
character, are urged to see Sgt. Greer

MEETING
The Oakland and Cassatt Dem club
met with Mrs. John H. Watkins on
Tuesday night, Dec. 19, at 7:30 o’clock
with 13 members and their husbands
present. Tbe meeting was called to
order by Mrs. P. R. Hall. Christmas
gifts were exchanged and all^ enjoyed
singing Christmas carols. Refresh-
.menU were aerved by the hostess.
It is with regret that announcement
is made of the resignation of M. L.
Mays from the gasoline panel of the
Kersnaw xounty war rrice ana- -tta»--
tloning board.
The press of business at his office
makes it necessary for Mr. Mays to
take this step.' His earnest and un
tiring work in carrying out tbe regula
tions of the Office of Price Adminis
tration are greatly appreciated, and
his services will be a distinct loss.
Holiday Closings
Announcement is made to the
effect that the First National
Bank and Commercial Bank of
Camden will be closed Monday
and Clark, I foresee an increase rather
than a decrease in the need for Amer
ican Red Cross services on the Con-
tincnt from now and for some time
after the F^uropean fighting is over.
Likewise, it is obvious the American
Red . Crois must expand Ue Pa4:lfie
and Far Eastern operations during the
coming year.
‘ It iH our intention that Red Cross
Rtay with otir t-roops ttnHlttR nf them
are returned home and continue to
serve them through their adjustment
hack to civilian life. For this reason
we luUHL ask the Amor.lcan public to
consider our goal of 3180,000,000 as
an absolute minimum.”
Advance gifts from corporation and
individuals who wish to reduce Income
taxes may be sent in before December
