American Red Cross
"We need our Red Cross — and
we must keep it strong," declared
President Lyndon B. Johnson in his
nation-wide radio and television
appeal for support of the 1965 ARC
campaign for members and funds.
"Now is the time that the Red
Cross depends upon us," the Pres-
ident added in proclaiming March
ns Red Cross Month.
Most of the 3.590 Red Cross chap-
ters In all 50 states launched their
annual fund drives on March i
Among these was our Shamrock
Chapter of South Wheeler County.
Most of the chapters have gone all
out In meeting their goals. But
something happened to Shamrock!
With all the appeals from storm-
stricken areas, with unprecedented
demands for Red Cross aid that
already has amounted to millions
of dollars worth of voluntary help
and over $9,000,000 In funds for di-
rect aid and rehabilitation of thous-
ands of affected families, greater
need is still ahead And we are
only In the beginning of our storm
season.
And ARC'S obligation to our boys
in the armed forces policing the
war-tom world must be considered.
Red Cross plays a very Important
role as a medium of contact be-
tween our boys and their homes.
And this is not all. . . as Red Cross
performs myriad other services to
mankind ns an Integral part of its
charter obligation.
Something happened to our fund
drive: In fact it didn’t even get off
the ground. WHAT did we DO
WRONG? Could It be that .some
of our contributors have the idea
that we can raise our share with

The public is Invited to attend
10c and 25c donations, that the
solicitators got disgusted and gave
up hopes of accomplishing enough
to justify their valuable time being
spent for a lost cause? Or could it
be that we Just didn't put. enough
effort in our drive? Actually, the
cause makes little difference un-
less we find out for sure so as not
to make the same mistakes again.
Let's make a comeback and mount
an all-out effort to do our part in
this most important community
obligation.
Have we forgotten what Red
Cross did for our community a few

9 to 11 miles west of Shamrock,
north and adjacent to U. S. High-
