This fact was revealed by the chairman of the local roll call, who is in receipt of authentic figures from the Pacific Pa-cific branch office, San Francisco.

' Commenting on the above the lo- cal chairman said, "My attention has also been directed to the fact that for the present fiscal year the national na-tional organization has apportioned apportion-ed the sum of $1,140 for itinerant public health nursing service ii. four rural counties in our state. It is amazing to me to realize that Utah has been a beneficiary of the Red Cross to this extent. While I know that national funds had been furnished to meet our state needs on many occasions, I had no Ua that during the past year we tvid received more than $1,000 over and above our Red Cross investment. "Utah has had some serious problems. prob-lems. That the national Red Crot has appreciated this fact and come to our support is evidenced by th. above figures. Yet at the time of the annual enrollment of members, some objections are always hea :e' to having fifty cents of each membership mem-bership fee leave the community. If the national Red Cross were not supported, it could not do what it i has clone for Utah; other state i have been helping carry our load. "In the roll call between Armistice Ar-mistice day and Thanksgiving, th'-people th'-people of Utah will have an opportunity oppor-tunity to show thir a pprccia I jo-of jo-of what the state has received ia national benefits by building; u;. the membership rolls." |
