DRIVE The final count on the Red Cross Christmas roll call has Just been Completed tor this county and totals 2,229 members with $2,248. This Is a little better than 120 per cent of the subscriptions taken In the drive last year. Considering the number of removals that the county has suffered In tho past eight or ton months this Is a record of which Jo sephine county can be Justly proud. The splendid success that has marked this effort has not been duo to the work of any one person or committee, but because, from begin ning to close each did his or her part with a full feeling of responsi bility, no tiiat to mentton-those who proved splendidly capable would be to name the whole personnel of workers, solicitors, team captains, and executive committee. Nor was the liberality of tho Daily Courier In giving Us space unreservedly to pub licity work a small part In the suc cess of the drive. Furthermore the willing response ot those solicited made the work a dollght throughout. There seems to be a full under standing In the mluds of the people ot this county that the Red Cross has been a faithful steward ot tho resources that have been placed at Its disposal and that Its work as an organisation Is not completed until thore Is no more a need for deeds of mercy to be done.
