Young Ranker Who Led Red Cross Hosts
Thanks Army of Helpers in Southwest
Ti e following statement was Issued by J. L. Johnston, chairman
of the Christmas Membership Campaign of the Red Cros.i in the
Southwestern Division. Johnston is president of the German Savings
Institution of St. Louij, being the youngest metropolitan bank p-esi
dent in the United States. He is thirty-one years old. The statement
follows:
As the chairman for the Southwestern Division in the big Red
J Cross Xmas Membership Drive, I wish personally to thank every
worker of the Red Cross who contributed to the
success of the campaign
As hfcs been said so aptly by Louis LaBeaume,
Publicity Director for this Division, we have
shown the Kaiser where true Americans live.
Minimum estimates show that the Southwest
ern Division obtained 3.250 000 new members
between December 17th and December 24th
inclusive, leading every other Division in the
United States. We were asked to get 1,162.000
new members. It will not be surprising if,
when all the returns are in. the figures amount
to 3,400,000. In other words, we obtained
nearly three times the number of members for
which we were asked by Red Cross headquar
ters at Washington.
This tremendous undertaking never could have been accom
plished but for the whole-hearted loyalty and support of those who
already were members of the Red Cross. To each and everyone of
you I wish to express my sincere thanks. It has been not only a
pleasure, but a privilege that I esteem highly, to have been chairman
of this campaign.

Chairman Southwes ern Division
