CESAR ROMERO—CAROLE LANDIS in “DANCE HALL Also A Crime Doesn’t Pay Subject Report Of McCormick County Roll Call Each week now the Roll Call in McCormick is slowly coming up. Since last week thirty members have been added to the Roll Call. I’m sure the spirit in which the neople of McCormick County are loining the Red Cross is of the very highest kind. It is a pleasure for people to come to the workers in this Roll Call and hear them say: “I'd like to join the American Red Cross for I know of the good work it is doing.” Several years ago when the main building at De la Howe School was burned, the American Red Cross sent De la Howe School five hundred dollars and told them to spend the money for the things they needed. We, as citizens of McCormick County, don’t owe the Red Cross one penny for that service to De la Howe, however if the Red Cross is to continue to help those who are in, need it is very necessary that we join so this great work can continue. I would like to take this means to thank our editor of the McCor mick Messenger, E. J. McCracken, for the splendid way that he has helped in the Roll Call this year and in the past years. Remember the Roll Call will officially close Dec. 31, 1941. and each week the names of members of the McCor mick Roll Call will appear in the Messenger. Listed below are the names of additional members to date, Dec. 1st: L. L. Hester, Mrs. Cecil Gilliam, W. A. Scott, Mrs. W. A. Scott, Willie Talbert, Miss Florence Patterson, D. J. McAllister, Mrs. D.
