RED CROSS ROLL CALL
“A larger. Red Cross membership,
more in proportion to the population
of Texas, is necessary for the expan-
sion of service within the state this
coming year,” J. A. Henry, Chairman
of the Edwards County chapter, said.
He pointed out that Red Cross mem-
bership in Texas represents 2.9 per
cent of the population, while nationally
the enrollment has risen to 4.38 per
cent. Last year, 172,067 Texans ans-
wered the Roll Call of their local
chapters, an increase of 36,000 over the
preceding year.
“Local chapters arc dependent upon
their membership enrolled each year
for funds to carry on disaster relief and
other Red Cross safety, health, educa-
tional and welfare service in their re-
spective communities.” Mr. Henry
said. The greater portion of these
funds are retained by the local chap-
:er, for use locally in its community,
only FIFTY CENTS, not FIFTY
PE RCENT, going to the National
Organization for Red Cross work
throughout the nation. This national
illoVnent also reverts back to the lo-
cal communities’ Red Cross work” he
explained. In the last three ajid one
half years to date, the Nationanl Or-
ganization made $253,773 available to
supplement the $172,146 raised within
Texas for emergency relief-and rehab-
ilitation of Texas families stricken by
disasters occurring in this state. / ♦*;
During the first nine months of this
yeat the Red Cross assisted 3,029 Tex-
as families, which included more than
13,000 persons, who suffered losses
following six tornadoes and t&rec
floods. The $63,125 contributed by
Texas in these.cades was
by $56,087 from the National* 1

ter, 69, road construction engineer,
employed by the State Highway De-
partmenet, were held Saturday at 10
a. m. in the Doran Chapel, Del Rio,
with the Rev. Burton Johnson, pas-
tor of the First Christian Church, of-
ficiating.
The body was taken overland in a
Doran hearse to Rocksprings, where
additional services were held at 3 p.

Mr. Minter died in Del Rio about
4 p. m. Thursday of injuries suffer-
ed when he was run over by a truck
about three-quarters of a mile east of
Brackettvillc on a construction pro-
ject on Highway 90.
He was said to have eaten his lunch
at noon Thursday and lain down in a
ditch, where the grass was high and
the strong wind did not reach him, to
rest. Shortly before 1 p. m., a truck
being driven down the ditch because
the highway is under construction ran
over him, crushing his chest. He was
taken to a Brackettville physician fer
treatment and later brought to Del
Rio to the Medical and Surgical Clinip.

gineer, and worked for the State High-
way department for a number of years,

Rocksprings, later on moving to Uval-
de, where he held the same position
for quite a while, and assisted in con-
structing Highway 4 from Uvalde to

ple were the parents, of two sons. Mrs.
