The Red Cross has just such a ecall at this nme in far off Japan. But distance is no barrier to good deeds and the helpful hand --they reach across the widest seas and know no distinction of race or color. All branches of the Red Cross socie'y are called upon to do their part, big or little, in this work. Just as St. Croix would e xpeet to be helped, if in distress, so it must do what it can to aid the dis- tressed in other places. We cannot do much but let us do our little part with a hearty good will, The St. Croix Red Cross will npot make a systematic campaign for relief funds for the Japanese sufferers for the rea- son that €economic conditions in the is- land do not justify that course, but it calls for voluntary contributicns from all those who are in a position that wiil warrant the giving of any sum, no inat- ter how smail. Itis not the size of the gift, but the will to do gool that goes with it, that counts. So those who are able to give and who have agood will to oive are asked to leave their contribu- tions in money, in the name of the Red Cross of St. Croix, at the tollowing places: Christiansted: Red Cross Office Mrs Hansen: Kings Hill Station Frederiksted: Mrs. Haggerman Store. Remember he gives twice who gives quickly while the need is great. Hun- dreds of thcusands are hungry and home- less. Let us help them quickly. TELEGRAMS, Bl CRUIN S ATION, * Paiis, Sept.
