BARNWELL IN THE LONG AGO. The plan of the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call, briefly stated, is to see that every man and woman in every city in the United States is asked, face to face, to join th» Red Cross or to re new his or her membership and take out as many additional membershVs as he or she may care to pay for. Primarily, Red Cross was meant for every man, woman and child in America and in the world. It is a humane agent created by your dol lar, your neighbor's dollar for the sole and single benefit of humanity. Very few people appreciate the ramifications of American Red Cross work in peace time. For example, did you know that— Every hou r since demobilisation your Red Crons has been in constant touch with the families of M0.MO j M well as its facilities and me thuds mm formerly in the service of Uncle Som —soldiers, merinos, sellers.
