ANNUAL RED CROSS ROLL CALL
The Annual Red Cros3 member

ends November 30, The Goal of the
Anchorage Chapter, of which the
organization in Palmer is a branch,
is $5,000.00.
To attain this goal it ni.ll

were lifted by its help, its fields

everywhere, why this Roll Call will
list more names than over before.
