County Outside Ogden Has Red Cross Drive Outline Mechanics of the drive for funds in the Red Cross roll call and war relief campaign throughout Weber county, outside Ogden, were explained and discussed at a meeting of district chairmen held in community chest headquarters, Hotel Ben Lomond. L. Wesley Robbins, chairman of this phase of the Red Cross-Community chest united campaign, explained that this group is expected to raise $15,000 of the total county quota of #31,250 for war relief and work of the local Red Cross chapter. He said that 85 per cent of the war relief fund will be sent to national headquarters and 15 per cent will be retained here for use in connection with local war relief production which is carried on by volunteer workers. In answer to questions he emphasized that not a dime collected for war relief will be used for administrative expenses. Also he pointed out that of funds allotted the local chapter by the community chest for last year only $1450 was spent for completely maintaining the administering of its office. This record, he said, is exceptionally good when compared with that of any other chapter in the country of similar size, and scope of activities. District chairmen present were instructed to mobilize their groups of workers and hold meetings with them immediately in order that all may be given full instructions by a delegated representative from local headquarters. Also they were asked to report to Mr. Robbins the number of families in their districts and the number of workers they will have available. Norton Bowns, chairman of the Slaterville district reported that he already had lined up his workers, and that there are 75 families in his district. He said his workers are Mrs. Amelia Holley, Mrs. Millie Slater, Mrs. Laura Bowns, Mrs. Sylvia Knight, Mrs. Ella Allred, Mrs. Edward Field and Mrs. Iva Tucker. Mr. Robbins quoted to those present the following from Norman H. Davis chairman ofhte national Red Cross: “There are millions of our citizens who desire today to demonstrate their will to victory over the enemy. Not all can be in the armed forces, and not all can volunteer their services for humanitarian work, but all can volunteer their dollars to arm the Red Cross to be their representative at the scene of battle and distress. “Today is the day to demonstrate our high morale, our unity, our determination not alone to support our president and our fighting men at the front, but also to insure to our wounded, homeless and suffering fellow citizens in our Pacific islands that we stand 100 per cent ready to aid them through the Red Cross. “Our challenge to the dictator nations can be made also through our support of the Red Cross-in terms of money and supplies, sacrifice and hard work. “Let the Red Cross be the spokesman for every community in America, so that what we do and what we give may be the triumphant expression of our humanitarian spirit and our faith in victory.” NICHOLS NAMES DISPLAY AIDES Appointment of a vice chairman and members of his committee on window and outdoor displays marked the beginning of this phase of Red Cross-community chest publicity activities under chairmanship of George L. Nich¬ols. Mr. Nichols said Saturday that Harry Coughlan, U. S. forest service, will serve as vice chair¬man and the following will be members of his committee: Miss Ethel Wright, U. S. general supply depot; Blaine B. Richards, Rich¬ards Sign Co.; Allan Johnson, U. S. forest service; Lawrence W. Han¬sen, Star Printing Co. Placing of campaign posters throughout the county got under way Saturday, Mr. Nichols said. A survey has been completed of avail¬able window space for displays throughout the business section of the city. "Our plans contemplate the most extensive display program ever attempted in connection with a local community chest program," he said. SPECIAL RADIO HOOKUP ASKED Upon request of the Weber coun¬ty Red Cross chapter's communi¬cations committee, Mayor Harman W. Peery was authorized today to apply to the federal communica¬tions commission for permission for the chapter to operate nine ama¬teur short-wave radio stations. The stations would be used in case of emergency, particularly so if telephone and other facilities were put out of order. In making the request, W. D'Orr Couzzens and Francis W. Wood said operation of short-wave sets without special government au¬thority has been banned since out¬break of the war. |
