Headquarters Now Open
Christmas rollcall headquarters
have now been opened in the old
post office building, Third and Lo
cust streets. Entrance is on the
Locust street side. This structure
was to have been taken over by
slate draft headquarters, but the
sudden termination of the war and
the forthcoming dissolution of the,
draft organization made it possible
for the local Red Cross to secure
a portion of the building for the
membership campaign workers. i
Mercer B. Tate is in charge at
headquarters and is being assisted
by some of the draft board force.
The telephone number at this head- ■
quarters is Bell-4939.
Mr. Tate to-day began sending out'
tlie posters which are to be used in'
the campaign.
Returned Men Enthusiastic
The really enthusiastic "boosters"
for the Red Cross are the fighting
Pennsylvanians who are returning
daily front overseas.
How the Red Cross was to be
found right up behind the line of
battle, day and night, and how its
workers braved death continually is
part of the story being told by the
overseas men.
The Red Cross is not only the
favorite organization so far as sol
diers are concerned: it is also the
favorite war work campaign so far
as Dauphin and surrounding coun
ties are concerned.
What the District Is
The quotas given above do not
include those for Perry county and
the river towns of Cumberland coun
ty, which are part of the Harrisburg
chapter district. In addition to the
two sections named the district in
cludes all of Dauphin county except
Middletown and Steelton and ail of
Harrisburg.
