Thornton Women Democrats Plan State-Wide Fund Campaign Portland Mrs. Robert Y, Thornton, Salem, is general chairman of a project to be run by the Democratic women of Oregon from now to December 1 that will, she says, keep them busy as Oregon beavers. According to Mrs. Thornton, women of the party will under take to raise a tidy sum to be expended in 1956 for newspaper ads, radio broadcasts and TV programs in behalf of Demo cratic candidates and issues. Each county will raise its money in the way it thinks best and half of the money will re main in the county to be spent locally in the coming campaign. The other half will go to the Democratic national committee for use in the presidential cam paign. Counties are preparing to "sell pies for publicity," "run rummages for radio," give "teas for TV" and so on. The various women's commit tees can have one big money raising affair, she said, or give a series of events in various communities. She stated that the project emphasized sociability as well as money-raising. "We want every Democratic woman in the state to be a part of this program," Mrs. Thornton said. "No contribution is too small not to count." Mrs. C. H. Lusk of Medford, vice-chairman . Of the Jackson county Democratic central com mittee, will appoint a commit tee of women here to plan and run the project for this county.
