The Mattoon chapter of the Red Cross is making final arrangements for Joining, the numerous other Red Cross chapters of the United States In an annual roll call of members. The current roll call will start on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, and end on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 30. Mattoon's quota this year Is $900, the same as a year ago.

The smallest membership fee Is $1. The "sky is the limit" for larger memberships The National Red Cross will receive 50 cents from every membership whether the membership subscription be $1 or $100 or more. Thus, the larger the membership subscribed, the larger the amount will be left in the local treasury. "Service to Community'' will be the slogan In this year's roll call. The Red Cross undertakes no permanent relief work.

Locally It gives relief only to. former soldiers and former sailors, thereby not conflicting with cr overlapping services of any of the local relief agencies. Prepared for Emergencies. The National Red Cross so far has always been prepared for any emergency disaster relief and is asking generous subscriptions to prepare It for all emergencies during the ensuing fiscal year. Durln; the past year It contributed to three Illinois disasters.

In the past year the National Red Cross distributed flour from government wheat, and cotton goods from government cotton, at tremendous expense to its treasury. It expended $212,171,54 in the distribution of wheat, which it had ground Into flour or cracked Into breakfast food. Distribution of the government cotton cost the Red Cross $324,440.13. None of the flour and none of the cotton went to any person except tb the needy unemployed or the seedy sick or disabled. The Red Cross disaster relief during the past year, Including the distribution of wheat and cotton goods for the government, cost a total of $1,106,504.82.

Here in Mattoon the expense of distribution of government wheat products and government cotton cost the local chapter considerable money, as Investigators had to be employed so that these products went only to those deserving of them. Activities Unlimited. Activities of the Red Cross are almost unlimited, the activities of any community being limited only to the available working funds. The Mattoon chapter of the Red Cross last year, through Mrs. Thomas Walkup, distributed 894 dozens of ready-made cotton garments, 8,720 yards of cotton cloth, 380 blanksts and 120 comforts to the needy of the six west side townships if Coles county.

After expressing pleasure on seeing so many delegates present and commenting upon the early hour for the meeting, which was necessary because of the long distance some of the visitors had to come, Mrs. Oleckler paid tribute to Mat-toon and Mattoon people. "Mattoon Is a home city," said Mrs. Oleckler.

"It is progressive, ambitious, ready to please, cautious at to new enterprises yet ready to welcome them. Its history shows few business failures. It has, In fact, been more successful from the business standpoint than most cities of the state. "Mattoon's citizens are free In giving, careful in living, progressive In thought and ambitious as to the future. The city is noted for its hospitality." Mrs.

Oleckler spoke briefly of the organization of the Coles County Democratic Women's Club and of the Interesting meetings the club has held. She also spoke briefly of the organization of the state league and paid glowing tribute to Mrs. Pearl Chrlstman, temporary head, commenting upon the splendid work which she has done for the cause of the Democratic women in this state. She said' that much of the success which the Democratic party has attained in doles county and the state arid nation has been due to the women, and she predicted till greater success in the future.

Derklts, Coles county Relief Administrator, has recently received a number of Inquiries from groups In Coles and Cumberland counties regarding the Alton dam project. Interested persons wanted to know whether these counties are entitled to send men to Alton to be employed on the Alton project The relief admlnlstraton communicated with the State Department of Labor, as well as with the Federal Re-Employment Commission, without obtalning any definite answer to the "Can Ooles county send men to Alton?" Most Care for Unemployed.

Mr. Derklts, a few days ago, visited Mr. who is in charge of public works and federal reemployment for this. area Mr. Jacobson said, "One of the laws governing public works Is that there shall be no migratory labor used on such projects wherever local labor is obtainable." If the people of Mattoon are Interested in finding employment for their unemployed, they may start a public works project of their own.

Mattoon is very badly In need of a sanitary sewerage system, and the federal government is willing to extend help to Mattoon for building such sewerage system. Only one thing' stands In the way of Mattoon having Its own work project, and that Is the lack of courage of Its elected officials to go back on their election promises of economy False Economy. "Mr. Jacobson, and others feel that this is a false economy or no economy at an," said Mr. Derklts.

"Eventually, Mattoon must build a sanitary sewerage system, and there will never again be a time when it will be more economical to build. The federal government advances one-third of the money needed; building materials are cheap and labor Is plentiful. A public works project in Mattoon would reduce unemployment, increase buying power of the working people and bring about generally better business conditions. This project should be started in the interest of economy and not held up by ideas of false economy."
