Oregon War Chest
Campaign Next on
County Schedule
Better Than $4,000
To Be Raised for
Various Charities
Organization work for the forth
coming Oregon War Chest -fund
'"T-iqn is nearly completed, ac
cording to Blaine E. Isom, county
chairman. The campaign to open
the first of October is designed to
raise sufficient funds to cover the
needs of 17 agencies, thus eliminat
ing 16 different drives.
Isom has named Mrs- Lucy. Rod
gers to direct the campaign in the
residential district of Heppner.
Frank Turner will have charge of
the business district. At lone, V. L
Carlson of Gooseberry will be in
charge, while O. W. Cutsforth has
the Lexington territory. .Directors
for Boardman and Irrigon have not
been named and Isom is trying to
get these appointments made in
time to start the campaign on
schedule.
Morrow county will be asked to
raise better than $4,000. This sum
will cover the quota of Oregon War
Chest as well as provide funds for
local needs. This does not include
the Red Cross and the tuberculosis
seal sale. Funds for these agencies
are raised on a membership basis
on the one hand and purchase of
seals on the other. County quotas
-on them amount to more- than one
half of the OWC quota and pro
per division of funds would pre
sent too many difficulties At pre
sent it is believed the Boy Scout
program will not need to come un
der the chest, but Girl Seout3 or
Campfire Girls could be included-
"Life is getting to be just one
fund campaign
Isom stated, "but
the Oregon War
after another,"
in the case of
Chest we have
something worthy of consideration
by all charitable-minded people
Funds raised through this means
will be used to bring relief to
millions of people throughout a war
torn world, people who are unable
t care for themselves now and who
will be confronted with the neces
sity of starting life anew when hos
tilities cease. Entertainment for our
boys in service is another feature
not to be overlooked, and the nice
part is that when you have given
generously this one time you will
not be called upon for another
year."
GREENER HILLS IN OREGON
Cpl- Melvin "Pinky" Allyn writes
his sister, Mrs. J. W. Cowins, dated
Aug 22, that he hasn't had a chance
to write or receive letters for quite
awhile, but by rending the pnpors
the home folks will need no expia
tion as to what he's been doing.
"Sicily is now under control
what next? No one knows. I mis.jed
the last battle in Africa by a day
but I didn't miss this one- We really
gave them 'Hail Columbia'. I've
seen my share of war and will
sure be glad when it is all over.
Can't get home quick enough, and
the more I see of these countries,
the better I like Oregon The fellow
who said there are greener pastures
on the other side of the hill never
saw Sicily or Africa."
