PORTLAND PUTS BAN ON
RED CROSS BENEFITS
Red Cross benefits are tabooed in
Portland. The executive board of the
PrtTfTon/l knn «ln An/l Punl f
definitely on record as determined
not to accept the proceeds of any bene
fit. The only exception made to the
rule is that small local auxiliary bene
fits may still be held, providing the
permission of Amedee M. Smith, gen
eral manager of the chapter, be ob
tained.
The reason the executive committee
has placed itself as so strongly op
posed to benefits is that they are
wasteful, that the energies of Red
Cross members are taken up in other
ways, and that the Red Cross can bet
ter obtain the funds ft requires from
the sale of memberships and from the
proceeds of its war drives.
The resolution banning benefits re
cites that benefits have often a heavy
overhead and that for this reason
alone they should be discouraged; that
the effort expended is not commensu
rate with the gain, but that more im
portant than all, the patriotic efforts
of Red Cross workers, and especially
women, should not be dissipated.—Red
Cross Bulletin.
