November 10, 1941.

The annual RED CROSS ROLL CALL is on, In the midst of numerous drives
for worthy causes, the call goes out for the RED CROSS, which is perhaps the
world's greatest organization for the mobilization of human service for emergency
needs, The RED CROSS does not recognize the boundaries of race, creed, or nation.
It is always ready to give aid to all types of human disaster where and when it

Occurs.

The local RED CROSS chapter has again given the University of Kansas
permission to carry out its own drive in whatever manner is most convenient to us,
The last two years the K, U, RED CROSS DRIVE was successfully conducted without
the usual nuisance of door-to-door canvassing, The whole—hearted cooperation of
the University faculty and employees made this possible, For this reason, we are
using the "honor system" type of drive again,

The plan is very simple. Each faculty member and University employee is
asked to do his part by direct response through the campus mails, There will be
no personal canvass or call on you, You are asked to write your own ticket, Here's
your RED CROSS button, sticker, and membership card, together with a self~addressed
envelope and a blank check, Send money or check payable to the Douglas County
Red Cross, Fill in the specified amount on the enclosed membership card and keep
the card as your receipt. A complete record of all contributions and the names and
amounts will be made for the files of the local chapter.

We wish to point out again that the RED CROSS has no connection with the
recent Community Chest Drive or any of the current British war relief organizations.
This drive is purely for charity purposes. lost of the money for the RED CROSS
stays here at home, to be used by the local chapter, In contributions of one dollar,
half goes to the local chapter, the other half to the national organization, But
all above one dollar goes entirely for local use. Contributions for less than one
dollar, without membership privileges, will go to the local chapter.

The days from November 11 to 18 have been set aside for the K, U. Drive,
Do your part now, We ask your cooperation.

Sincerely yours,
