To the Faculty and Employees sf the ry

We do not need an iainaiek: as to why we should give to the
Red Cross, ner do we need to specify reasons as to hew much we can
give. You kmow the answers to both.

 

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer but
who, upon every tccasion, said, "The Red. Cross is t«ps with me. I
have already made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
. living." | oo? gine

‘I like this slegan: IF YOU CAN'T GO -- GIVE. And anether
hits me right in the midile: GIVE TO THOSE WHO GAVE. Why sheuld I
say more?

The Red Cross drive started March Ist, but since we had
vacation, I thcught it better fcr this letter ts arrive at yeur desk

after the semester vacatiosn is cver and you are ready to put first.
things first.

‘To facilitate your giving we are not asking anyene to call
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your dsnation to Room 107
Rebinson Gymnasium. Presunming that you will make a «:ntribution, we
ate enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu find
it impessible to give, kindly return them’te this cffice,.

The faculty and emplsyees of the University have always given
intelligently and responded most genercusly. I knew that yeu will de

your share. The students are alse — given an oppertunity to make
their contribution.

Yours for a generous and responsive gift.

Very sincerely yours,

 

Chairman, K.U. Red Cress Drive fer 1945.
