Morrow Cancer
Drive Tops Goal
With a goal of $728.00 in the
Morrow county cancer drive, vol
unteers brought in approxi
mately $1,034 in gifts from fam
ilies of the county to go some
$300.00 over the top. Other do
nations were sent directly to
the Cancer Society headquarters
without going through the coun
ty's campaign, so the final fig

announces.
The Rev. Robinson expressed
his thanks to the many women
who generously gave their time
to ring doorbells and distribute

'They are too many to list,

of them for a job well done," he
