Newspaper Page Text10 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1917. MEMBERSHIPS FDR RED GROSS 76,027 Portlanders Sign Up Rapidly and in Numbers as Cam paiqn "Moves On. CITY'S , FIGURE IS 22,005 TTmatllla County Completes Its Quo ta First of Any, Giving 7 68 0 In stead or Required 75 00 Oth er Counties Coming Fast. ALL MEUCAN SOLDIRR9 GET . WELL SOW," WOSO T03i HAYS. Wong- -Ton, late of China, is now a member of tba American Red Cross. He is sporting: a Red Cross button and two Red Cross service flags. Wong works for the Union Meat Company and, when Roy Elocum, cold-storage manager, tried to enlist him Wong was right there. Slocum had to explain the facts and mentioned that Wong's dollar would go for "the soldiers. Wong dug down for the dollar. "Here," said Wong, all Mellcan soldiers get well now." "I am confident," said Slo cum, "Wong believes his dollar will do the whole Job." With Portland as well as the state at large now adding to the Christmas membership drive total by leaps and bounds, last night's figure touched 76, 027. By a terrific sjive during the day. In which every energy possible was em ployed at the outset of fair weather, the city contributed 22,005 to this figure, while the state at large rushed Its to tal up to 64.022. Nearly one-third of the task before the state is completed, although Fort land has completed one-fifth only of the task before the city: la fact. Port land is far behind Seattle, the total In which Is now f0,000. Umatilla county is the banner county, bavins completed its quota yesterday afternoon. At that time Umatilla had pushed its total up to 7650, with a quota of 7500. . Eight Conattr. Have Net Reported. Umatilla, which still declares It Is In the game, was the first county to "prove up" in. the last liberty loan drive, as well as the great Red Cross war drive last Summer. There are now but eight counties which have"-not reported to headquar ters. They are Crook, Hood River, Jef ferson. ake. Lincoln, Polk, Tillamook and Douglas. - Union County is second with 8600 members and Coos County third, a tribute to the organizing ability of Louis J. Simpson, campaign manager. Coos County has 6030 members. Clat sop County takes fourth place with S500 members, and other high counties are Harney, Gilliam, Curry and Wasco. In fact, op to date, Eastern Oregon has "put it all over" Western Oregon, and campaigners are inclined to blame it, largely, to the weather. One of- the records of the' campaign is reported by Dr. H. C. Fixott, chair man of the Multnomah County district, outside Portland. One small district lying between Parkrose and Rockwood reports 67 members, the number of the Inhabitants, with the youngest mem ber 6 months old and the oldest 70 years young. Out at Rlverdale Mrs. Amedee M. Smith reports 100 per cent results. Seven hundred high school students have been commandeered by the Red Cross for Saturday, Monday and Tues day for the campaign through the co operation of the School Board and Su perintendent L. R. Alderman. Ira L. Biggs presented the request of the Red Cross membership campaign and, It was promptly granted. Workers both In Portland and throughout the state dove into the campaign with vigor yesterday as the totals testify. And the announcement that Umatilla County is first over the top by more than making its quota is calculated to start a contest over the state. When Roy Bishop, Umatilla County campaign manager, called up C C. Chapman he had one hand on an adding machine and the other on the telephone. "We've Just this minute made our 7600." Bishop jreUed. "Ob, hold the wire, Chapman." Unotm Exceeded by ISO. Chapman held the wire Bishop was paying the long-distance tolls. Two or three minutes passed with Just the "Let 'er buck," then called Bishop. We are 160 beyond our quota." Town after town. Bishop reported, had more than reached its quota, one town. Helix, had doubled it. The county campaign has been carried on with speed and efficiency and has set an example to the state. With 108 turned in the Red Cross booth' at Llpman. Wolfe & Co. headed the booth total yesterday. Miss Eileen Terex was in charge. Misses Julia Duffey and Louise Alle hoff at Olds, Wortman & King's made another fine record, totaling $100.

The booth, total for the day was over $500. ' A drive in "100 per cent" efficiency In j Red" Cross was reported by a large number of firms yesterday; "100 per cent" indicates that every employe has joined the Red Cross. Firms reporting yesterday, whether the memberships had been taken, out as a Christmas present by the firm, or by the employes themselves were: . Troy Laundry, Palace Laundry, Pacific Grain Company.

Mrs. Rosemary Schenck. of Toledo, Or., has furnished RedCross campaign ers with a rare example of grit. Mrs. Schenck is county chairman of Lin coln County and at the outset there was a conflict over her appointment. Starting over a week late, she was unable to enlist many men under the Red Cross banner. She perfected an organisation almost exclusively of women. She went into the tiny pre cincts and some of them she could only reach by long-distance telephone. Roads are tied up by the storm, and every automobile In the county is laid up. Mrs. Schenck and. It may be said. state headquarters did not expect a very fine showing, but Mrs. Bchenck's intensive organization :' of every pre-dj oinct -is bringing results, . ana she re ports every precinct will go over itg allotment. Her organization is by towns, school districts and precincts, and is said not to be equaled in the state. Mrs. J. Leach. Harriet and Florence Lfiach. of J056 Williams avenue. Port land, but now on the Orpheum circuit, wrote City Campaign Manager Hol man from Lincoln. Neb., to enlist them in the Christmas membership drive and inclosed the necessary check therefor. Miss Harriet Leach sang at the dedi cation of the Columbia Highway. "Bill" Srrandborg Reports. W. P. ("Bill") Strandborg went a-sollclting yesterday. .Usually, when Bill" is on a mission of that kind, he returns with scalps. But this time. this was his report, although it la true the cashier has a different story to tell of his activities: It Is a cruel world, and the truest words e'er spoke was: Nobody loves a fat man. - - ' Got Insulted twice in different spots. Got sympathised with four times. Got mad five times. Got a rise only twice. Told to come back five tlmea and don't think I can "come back" even once. Had my shoulders cried on all day and am afraid of pneumonia. My seal Is still untarnished and my spirit still burns with noble purpose. Yours truly. BILL STRANDBORG. Seattle's report that it was over the 60,000 mark in the city of Seattle alone was somewhat of a shock at campaign headquarters. ' It is believed that most of this total has been obtained by the Christmas gift membership for soldiers and. sailors.
