(By M. W. Skipworth)
As the .Fourth Roll Call of ta
American Red Cross progresses It la
appearent that the people of Crook
county have somewhat lapsed froaa
that generous, sympathetic, and
highly patriotic standard which they
acheived and maintained throughout
tha recent war.' I am satisfied that
ineir reversion back to their owi
thoughts and Interests in derogatlom
of their duty to the American Red
Cross is solely due to lack of un
derstanding as to what the Red
Cross Is doing today. I ass Sur
that f I am capable of holding tha
attention of the people of Crook
county tor ust one minute, and la
that minute, of directing their at
tention to, not only the high Ideals
and aspirations of the American Red
Cross but, to the work which it
actually doing In every-day life, then
will tbey respond with that whole
hearted generous spirit which so sig
nally typifies this country. Many
people believe that when, two yean
ago last Thursday, the last defiant
projectile was hurled at humanity
and peace settled over the world,
that the work and dutlea of tha Am
erican Red Cross ceased. I wish to
saoat emphatically call year atten
tion to the fallacy of that belief.
That marked the time when one of
the greatest works and dutlea ever
faced by any organization or nation;
was just beginning the duty and
work of caring for all onr discharg
ed and disabled service men and
their families. You all know at leaat
one ex-service man. . Ask him.
Aside from the military relief and
after-war-clean-up work which tha
American Red Cross is doing, it Is
also carrying on other humanitarian
and public service duties along var
ious channels which are ot such in
trinsic value to thousands ot us aa
Individuals, and all of us as a nation,
that we cannot properly estimate
their value.
However, as I wrote above, I feel
that whatever lack of response Is ap
parent, that it is due to lack' of un
dedstanding, appreciation, and con
sideration, and I truly hope that by
these few words, which have only
hit the high spots ot my subject that
I have been able to bring you to real
ize in some measure the . tremen
duous obligation which each one of
us owes to the American Red Cross,,
and just as surely as I (have been
able to do that, then have I been
able to do a small part toward bles
sing all mankind with a furtherance
of the progress of the greatest hu
manitarian organization in the world
the American Red Cross.
