We do not believe our failure to meet the quota set for our community is due to any lack of appreciation of the Red Cross nor because we are not sufficiently benevolent. We are behind our goal, we believe, simply because of too few contacts. An examination into the campaign to date reveals that an excellent response has been received from all individuals and firms so far so licited. It is quite reasonable to assume, therefore, that not enough individuals and firms have been canvassed. This premise is further supported by the fact that less than one half the business concerns and industries listed in the tele phone directory have so far been approached by Red Cross workers, This Is not a new situation. In fact, many of our financial drives have bogged down in recent years because too few people were able to give enough time to the job of solicitation. It requires a good many hourp to canvass from door to door, either in the business district or in the residential area. When business conditions are normal it is not too difficult to find enough workers to do the job. But in such times as we now are experiencing voluntary help is hard to obtain. Our business men are exceedingly busy. Most of them have insufficient help in their stores or offices. In a boom town the problems of business managsment become involved and require constant attention. Consequently, it becomes harder and harder to find help heeded in civic activities requiring donated time. Roseburg, in our opinion, is ripe for installation of a pro motion bureau. More and more of our growing communities have found it necessary to place solicitations in the hands of paid workers. Larger cities work by this method almost entirely. Professional firms are funds. They employ paid workers and are given compensa tion in proportion to the amount of money raised. This plan of operation usually occasions some criticism at first. People who donate to a worthy cause want their money used for the purpose for which they contribute and object to paying out a part of the sum, even though the percentage is small, to hired solicitors. But, as the size of a community increases, this plan is about the only one that produces re turns and the public learns to accept and approve it. We do not believe anyone Red Cross because he is hot work. Lonir experience with of its accomplishments has resulted in universal prestige. It is alwavB prepared to serve in munity suffers disaster trained are among the first to respond has been spectacular, but, for behind the, scehes, doing many is not acquainted. The Red Cross docs not cease its war work simply because the shooting has stopped. Instead it goes on giving help to needy veterans in cases not otherwise covered, helping them solve their problems, working on behalf of their dependents. It is constantly training volunteers in first aid and conduct ing schools in accident prevention. It is teaching the nation to swim through the medium of annual swm schools in all cooperative communities. One of its present major tasks is that of building up a nation-wide blood bank and reducing the cost of blood plasma to the person who requires it. It is hoped that enough money will be raised in the current roll call to expand tho blood bank program to include every major community on the schedule of a mobile unit. Douglas County's Red Cross quota is only 62 per cent sub scribed. Certainly tho effort to raise our quota should be continued until at least tho goal of $12,000 has been reached. In fact, our contributions should surpass that figure con siderably. Because of the shortage of workers it is quite probable that a great many persons will not be contacted for contributions. Those who may desire to donate volun tarily may send checks iO the Red Cross chapter head quarters in the Roseburg Armory. 3.64t, while Miss Kviclera's grade point average was 3.H25.
