Show Annual Red Cross Roll Call Drive Scheduled For Monday, Nov 10 Everything is in readiness for the annual Red Cross Roll Call which will be conducted in Cedar City and other communities of Iron County Monday morning, November 10, according ac-cording to Elmer B. Quist, Roll Call chairman of the Iron County chapter chap-ter of the American Red Cross. The Drive will be a concentrated one again this year, according to Mr. Quist, with an attempt being made to contact everyone on Monday, Mon-day, rather than stretch it out over a period of two weeks. "We have found that we accomplish more by making a concentrated drive on the opening day," said Mr. Quist, "and this year the same procedure will be followed." In pointing out the necessity for a bigger effort being made in the county to enroll every adult this year, Mi'. Quist stated that due to I the national emergency and the millions of dollars in Red Cross relief re-lief which has been sent to England and other European countries, the quota for Iron County has been set at 1,219 adult memberships as compared com-pared with 785 collected last year. "One-half of the memberships collected during the annual Roll Call drive are kept in the county for local relief," said Mr. Quist, "while the other half Is sent to national na-tional headquarters. Thus, If we ave successful in securing our quota of $1,249.00, $624.50 of that amount will be kept in Iron County for local lo-cal use. Any special contribution, of which we have had many in the past, is kept at home, none of it being sent to the national headquarters head-quarters of the Red Cross. AU those people who are assisting assist-ing in the drive this year will gather gath-er Monday morning at 7:30 o'clock at the Escalante Hotel where they will have breakfast and receive their instructions and materials. Immediately Immed-iately following the breakfast, the workers will scatter to various places in the community and start soliciting solicit-ing for Red Cross members.
