PROCLAMATION To The Citizens of Key West: Few appeals to the charity of the nation are as worthy of our endorsement, encouragement and support as the campaign for the American Red Cross, which is about to be launched for the current year. This marvelously conceived enterprise of benevolent aid and humane service is in iis scope not merely national but international: ifs services are equally important and well-nigh indispensable in time of peace and in time of war: the ministry which it dispenses touches the lives of un- fortunate human individuals, «brings solace to alleviate misery and ‘suffering in areas-that lie’ prostrate under the impact of disaster from -the. elements, the -overilew :of: waters: and’ the { terrific tremors that sometime shake this-earth of! ours to its weny: Cores ‘Actually -there:seems;to. besno form of humen suf- fe¥ing Gr ontisery which: the: emissaties, ofthe ‘Red: Cross; are otnotrtraind rtocmeet: to cope with and! to: conquer: Fa A § of personal sacrifice ¢ven: to. the: point-ef risking life itself ‘Inis‘for these reasons that I:commend the Red Cross Cam- + paign: to: the generous consideration and support of my. fellow citizens regardless of race, creed or social distinction.
