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

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

Audrae Gentry, auditor of freight accounts.
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. Portland, too, is
striving desperately to augment the
city figures in the same manner. Here
are the Portland contributors to this
fund yesterday:

BAKER 'WORKERS SUCCEEDING
Suspicions Persons Believe Malicious
Rumors About Red Cross Drive.
BAKER, Or.. Dec. 20. (Special.)
While the returns for all the Baker
County districts are not complete. It
is stated tonight by Chairman Ellis
that close to half of Baker's quota of
7000 has been secured. He said, how
ever, that the workers were finding
some opposition.
"I m surprised." he said, "that there
should be persons In Baker County who
have no sympathy with the Red Cross
workers. Still workers are finding
few that make such remarks as 'It is a
graft,' 'the solicitors are getting 80
per cent' and I prefer autocracy to
democracy.'

Samuel C May. deposed team ooaofa
and teaoher of civics at the Jefferson
High School, gained little satisfaction
from the members of the School Board
yesterday when, with his attorney,
Frederick H. Whitfield, he met wlth the
directors in executive session. Details
of the conferenoe were not divulged.
but it is known that the Board re
fused to recede from its position. This
makes it necessary for Mr. May to
take his case to the commission au
thorized by the teachers' tenure of of
fice bill passed by the last Legisla
ture. After his altercation with a pupil,
