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

I have never talked to a Marine, a soldier er a sailer but
who, upon every sccasion, said, “The Red Cross is teps with me. I
have already made my contribution. It is the thing that keeps us
living 6 *

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

The Red Cross drive started March lst, but sinee we had
vacation, I theught it better fer this letter ts arrive at yeur desk
after the semester vacation is ¢ver and you are ready te put first
things first.

To facilitate your giving we are not asking anysne to call
upon you, but we are asking that you mail your denation te Roem 107
Robinsen Gymnasium. Presuming that you will make a eqntributien, we
are enclosing the Red Cross sticker and lapel clip, but if yeu find
it impessible te give, kindly return them to this effice.

The faculty and empleyees of the University have always given
intelligently and respended most genereusly. I knew that yeu will de
your’share. The students are alse — given on epportunity to make
their contribution.

Yours fer a generous and responsive gift.

Very sincerely yours,

 

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