Morey, Manager Mountain Division. "National Headquarters have been asked to decide definitely the attitude of the Red Cross toward raising funds by means of lotteries, raffles, and any other form of appeal which involves in any way the question of gambling. "We wish to state that National Headquarters definitely opposes any games, lotteries, raffles, or any other form of appeal which possesses gambling gamb-ling features. This form of gambling is contrary to the I-iwsof many of the states. Utah has such law Editor "We believe that the appeal of the Red Cross is so great, and that the people of the country are so anxious to have it fulfill its obligations as interpreters in-terpreters of the nation's sentiments that it is unnecessary for any community com-munity to have to res'irt to such methods to raise funds. "We have been asked for a ruling on this subject by several of the Di-vislsiou Di-vislsiou Managers and give it to you for your information and for use wherever it may be necessary. ''G. E. Scott, "Asssistant Gensral Manager." |
