Need Your Help
Perhaps the people of Cleburne
and the nation are having more
calls from organizations and the
government for money than they
have ever had. The Red Cross
needs $50,000,000, The American
government wants us to buy De-
tenae Bonds and Stamps
We nad an opportunity to talk
to Miss Iva Hendrick*, field rep-
resentative for the Red Cross yes-

that every dollar given to the War

fullest extent, you are mistaken
