letter To The Editor
I live in Rappahannock. Today m volunteer' knocks on my door and asks if I would like .to join the American Red Cross. I hesitate a moment and think—another organization, taiore money—why do they hound me—why should I jive them money*—for what have they clone in Rappahannock.
Since I have never bothered to ' read or note in statistics what they hive done, I can only think broadly. Well, there’s the Blood Bank visit each year. I’ve heard that we have used all we’ve given and more too. In the-summer, they organize and carry out i swimming ' class for the children. In the only_ Woodville tornado, they were major disaster, in the county, the there helping. When a house bumsities for the family. That time, ■ <d they provided food and necesjimmy was overseas and had to come home on rush leave—the RedCross carried the message. Tom told be they gave him food on the fropt Ijne and entertainment in the canteens. Strecthers and blankets . were given to the local Rescue Squad. Two home nursing class and a first aid class were conducted, this year—Yes, they haw done •something here. Believe 1 will join after all. ■* And closing die dpor I think: “If they’ve done this much in our county, think what 'they’ve,. I mean, We’ve done, all around the world." ; r ^ ■- > -fcv —A Citizen
