THE HOME PAPER
RED CROSS NOTES
Then' end of this war is itear but
with that end the.work of the Red
Cross will lye needed more than be-
fore. We in Red Cross have a par-
tieular. duty toward all men who
are casualties of this war. Those
who are so unfortunately going to
need many months, possibly years of
hospitalization, must never be for-
gotten.
The work must continue through
the next years for relief in Great
Britainand on the continent and
this will he limited only by the
amount of roon0 available and the
mount of VIA the, branches are
willing to do.
Clinton Branch has a record of
which it may well be proud. We
hope to carry on with all our ingen-
uity, courage, and interest just as
long as a need exists.
