Mayor La Guardia Opens Red Cross Drive (film #318 on Universal Newsreels). [Category: Public Service]

Mayor La Guardia urges, no, commands all New Yorkers to join the Red Cross in a voice that could peel paint. Then he signs a proclamation to that effect and hands it to Miss Red Cross, a nurse wearing one of those cool old nurse’s uniforms. A blip from charity solicitations of the 30s.
