Chief among topics to be dis- jcussed are plans for the annual | Roll Call, arrangements for serv- > to the greatly increased num- jber of men in military forces, an jobligation delegated to the Red Cross by Congress; the necessity for increasing enrollment of Red Cross nurses, both as a reserve for the Army and Navy and for service in emergencies at home; jthe training of thousands of ad- ,ditional first aiders as a man the expanding industrial activity; ' The prin-| At Three Regional Conferences 1 and numerous other questions re- lating to the services of the Am- erican Red Cross and the nation’s preparedness measures.

The meetings will start at 10 A. M., and adjourn at the end of the luncheon sessions. Particular emphasis will be | placed on the need for a sub- jstantial Red Cross membership increase this fall in order to fi- nance the expansion of service activities necessitated by the or- ganization’s preparedness meas- ures.
