I wonder what became of

suppose they are now Present
War Veterans, and what I
would like to know is, what
they think of their past when
they used to call themselves
‘Future War Veterans.”

RED CROSS
Kendall County makes good
on Home Front Again we go
over the top and make our quo-
ta. We respectfully present our
sincere appreciation to the local
Red Cross Officials, to the
workers, and to every person
who so generously made this
success a possibility. Your gen-
erous work and contributions
will give you consolation in
knowing that you have helped
to relieve pain, have saved the
lives of our sons, brothers, and
fathers, who some day will a-
gain unite with their families,
and will again be able to enjoy
the love and laughter of peace
when freedom and progress
will normally be dominant
throughout a better world.
The Red Cross needs money
this year as it has never needed
it before. Every advance that
has been made in fighting the
war has meant increased re-
sponsibilities for the Red Cross.
The recreation centers main-
tained by the Red Cross’ for our
servicemen in foreign lands are
indeed worthy of commendation
