Never has the Red Cross failed the people of Utah. In view of these facts which are known to all, are Utahns now going to fall the Red Cross?

Are they who have responded so valiantly to the government! appeal for funds going to ignore "the call of that organization which accompanied .their sons and daughters to the far places of the earth and eared for their needs there? Are they going to forget so soon those years of service When as Angels of Mercy the Red Cross nurses stroked the fevered brows of the suffering lads whose names were en the casualty lists of the nation? This is difficult to believe. Salt Lakers are not accustomed to forgetting the favors of the past, nor to overlooking the fact that the exigencies of thq future may bring other disasters whgn the helping hand of this organization will, be needed badly! in our midst again.
