Probably never before have the people of Hyrum responded more cheerfully and willingly, with the result that a total membership of 438 was This is a considerable obtained. increase over last years membership, and the people of Hyrum are to be complimented and do have the appreciation of those who have this important work the Red Cross in charge.

So it is earnestly desired that every member of the Red Cross will give their time as much as possible to the carrying on of this important work during the coming .months. ist I .
