For Hillsboro Family in the Red
Cross Membership Drive
SENDS CLAIM TO CAPITOL
Orton S. Goodwin, of Portland,
Sends Interesting Letter to Argus
Ilillsboro is on the map in a fa in
ly record of Red Cross Christmas
Drive membership. Last week
week the Argus mentioned the
family of Chits. E. Wells ns the
banner home for membership in
the big drive in this sector, and
as a result the following letter
was received by the publishers
Sew Year's morning:
December 31, 1917.
"The Ilillsboro Argus:
Will you permit me on behalf
of the American Red Cross to
send you a word of appreciation
for the showing the Argus made
in the recent Membership Drive?
I am inclined to think that
when you pointed out that the
banner flag to date belonged to
.Mr. C. E. Wells, you were enti
tled to claim a national record;
in fact, as n matter of fact, when
saw this, I sent it to Washing
ton and claimed a national record
on behalf of Ilillsboro nnd Wash-
ton County.
With very hearty appreciation
of your efforts on behalf of the
Campaign, I am,
V ery truly yours,
Orton S. Goodwin,
Manager Press Rureau."
