Red Cross Campaign and War Proposals Stir Local Hope
A community column urges Gillespie County to join Red Cross membership on November 11 led by Lester Kester and a group of assistants. It defends the Red Cross as vital and notes funds will stay local for health and safety projects. The piece reflects on war, public duty, and a mirrored call for Congressman Johnson to volunteer as a private in the infantry.
