A, B , chairman of the Red Cross Mo&b ship and Donation Campaign, Thpre are a very large number, however, according to Mrs. Barker, who have not as yet renewed their membership. There are also in the city a large number of veanle who have come to the city since the last roll-call whom those engaged in the campaign are very anxious to have take a membership or make a dona- tion to the campaign fund. Last year nothing was asked ex- cept the renewal of membership and sufficient was received with what was then in the treasury to carry on the work this year. At the present time, however ,it will require more than the renewal of subscriptions to raise suf- ficient to carry on the civilian relief work and other activities which the Red Cross society has been carrying on during the last year. An estimate of the amount of mon- ey needed for the coming year, which must be secured during this drive, is approximately $1,5600. This, with what amount is in' the treasury, will carry on the work for another year. Much civilian relief has been done during the past year and it is expect- qd that there will be much necessary g hene. British. e this winter. In addition to this, the work of a nurse has been carried by the Red Cross society and will con- tinue to be as long as funds are avail- able for that branch of the work. It is strongly urged by the officers of the society that donations be made in addition to the membership sub- seription in order that the work may not be hampered, especially at this time of the year. Any one wishing to make special donations may do so at any of the stands now provided in yarious places throughout the city, or by advising Mrs. E. A, Barker.
