GREATER EFFORT Harriman Lauds Services Of Red Cross at Ogden OGDEN (Special) — Red Cross j representatives from 34 Utah and two Nevada chapters Friday heard E. Roland Harriman, president of the American Red Cross, urge them to greater effort for a country which may "have grad¬ually been losing the ability to shape the course of its own des¬tiny." The New York banker and rail¬road executive, speaking at the noon luncheon meeting of a day¬long conference of Red Cross workers, said: "No longer are we sure we can take a war or leave it alone. It is becoming clearer each day that decisions reached by will¬ful men in the capitals of other na¬tions may be the determining fac¬tor whether we shall be forced to fight for our way of life, if not for our very existence." Meets Ogden Leaders Presiding at the noon luncheon was Olin H. Ririe, chairman of the host Weber county chapter, who also was in charge of a breakfast at the Ben Lomond hotel at which Mr. Harriman met a number of prominent Ogden business and in-dustrial leaders, including George S. Eccles, a director of Union Pacific Railroad Co., of which Mr. Harriman is chairman of the board. The Red Cross has a tremendous part to play in the national mobil¬ization program, said Mr. Harri¬man, and he listed the three top priority points as follow: Rapid expansion of the Red Cross services to the armed forces to meet the needs of a 3,500,000- man fighting force. Another Priority Point To procure blood to meet the needs of the fighting fronts and for other military and civilian defense requirements. Taking a leading part in train¬ing millions of civilians in first aid to provde volunteers to assist civilian defense. 'If we play our part as Red Crossers—-if we act like true Americans—we can gear our Red Cross into the nation's mobiliza¬tion to help make America so strong in peace no one will dare attack, and so impregnable in spirit and might that in war we may be assured of victory."

Red Cross Gathers Forces For Extensive County Drive Marshalling forces for one of its most important fund campaigns in many years, Weber county Red Cross chapter held one kickoff meeting last night and announced two more, one tonight and the other Thursday. Campaign Chairman E. LaMar Buckner also announced that the most extensive radio coverage in history will carry the Red Cross rally in Madison Square Garden tonight. To be heard over KLO at eight-thirty, it will feature Ed Sullivan, Broadway columnist and television star, as master of cere¬monies; Hollywood and New York stars and talks by Gen. George C, Marshall and Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff. President Truman will be presented from the White House during the last five minutes. Supplies Issued Workers in the Weber county division kicked off last night, re¬ceiving supplies and information and instructions from Chapter Chairman Olin H. Ririe and from Mr. Buckner. Tonight the industrial, com¬mercial, public employes, public service and transportation divis¬ions will kick off at the chapter house at seven-thirty. Thursday night at the same time contractors, business and professional men will receive their briefing, Buckner said. They will all take the field March 5 in the annual solicitation to help attain the $53,934 over-all goal. The campaign already is under¬way at the military installations. This year's quota, which exceeds last year's by $10,000, is based on actual local and national needs, Buckner explained. Quotas Explained "The individual quotas of firms are based on an equitable distri-bution of what must be obtained and the sources from which it must come," Buckner added. "All the various organizations which will play roles in the fund collection have been reviewed as to the number of employes, type of occupation and type and size of the firm." "In the course of this study, the quotas of many businesses had to be raised while others were low-ered. Every effort was made to avoid inequality," Buckner con¬cluded. Executives of the various firms are asked to feel free in asking Red Cross workers what the quota of his firm is and for an explana¬tion of that quota. 26 Feb. 51 Mercy Drive Kickoff Set For Tonight The Weber county division of the 1951 American Red Cross cam¬paign will kick off today at sev¬en-thirty p. m. in the chapter house, 1961 Washington, E. LaMar Buck¬ner, chairman of the fund-raising operation, reports. Tomorrow at seven-thirty p. m. there will be a similar start-off meet for the unit divisions; indus¬trial, commercial, public service, public employes and transportation. Seven-thirty Wednesday at the same location, the contractors di¬vision and the business and pro-fessional divisions will get started. Mr. Buckner said it was very im¬portant for workers in these va¬rious divisions to be on hand when their units get underway because at these initial meetings, supplies will be given out and instructions will be given regarding the visions and the work that is planned for them. Hill Roundup Ends With Goal Topped Dramatizing the campaign by likening it to a big roundup, Hill air force base officials today an¬nounced the Red Cross campaign goal has been topped by $1085.46, making a total of $7835.46 col¬lected. Those are the "roundup" fig-ures given by drive coordinator First Lieutenant Oscar E. Heuser, base public information officer, Friday. When compared with oth¬er figures, it showed Hill AFB as they only military installation and one of two units in the area drive already over its quota. The roundup began February 28 with a drive for funds from mili¬tary personnel of the base. The civilian drive began Monday, 1 March 5. Slogan for the base was "give one hour's pay to mobilize the Red Cross for defense." Also mixed up in the cam¬paign were a crew of "rustlers" who raided the corrals for those "dogies" minus their brands. The rustlers hit on the windup of the whirlwind drive Thursday. When an employe (or dogie) contributed he was given a Red Cross tag to wear which showed he had been branded in the initial roundup. Dogies not wearing a brand were solicited by the rus¬tlers. Top ranch hand Brigadier General N. B. Harbold, com¬manding general of the base, complimented his crew of "cow¬boys" Friday for their successful termination of the drive in such a short length of time. He also singled out for praise the work of the rustlers and their mop-up ef¬forts. 27 Feb 51
