Millions and millions of stricken people in' devastated Europe
must depend on the activity of the Red Cross alone for the most
meager necessities of life—just enough to keep body and soul to-
gether. The Red Cross organisation is the universal helping hand
But in order to extend this hand to the sorrowing and afflicted
it must have your support. In fact, if you would do your part to
relieve the suffering in the world, you can do it most directly and
efficiently through the Red Cross. Become a member today.
