Banker Urges 'Double Push’ To Weber Red Cross Goal OGDEN (Special) — Having reached goals for Ogden and Weber County only once in the 'past four years, 1952 Red Cross fund drive workers Tuesday were urged to work "twice as hard" to raise the sum for this year, amounting to $85,000. Speaker was George S. Eccles, Ogden and intermountain banker, appointed by. John S. Sinclair, national chairman of the 1952 drive, as regional vice chair-man. Occasion was the first report meeting of workers held at the Weber County chapter house, where Mr. Eccles recited some of the accomplishments of the Red Cross in peace and war. He pointed out "how com pletely the Red Cross acts as th channel through which millio of Americans fulfill their desir to serve others, as shown in the following two simple statements: One out of every four persons in the United States is a Red Cross member, and one out of every 90 persons is an active Red Cross volunteer worker."
