Campaign Report of the U. Following is a brief summary of the report on the recent War Work Cam paign by W. W. Wood of Ontario, Chairman of the Committee in charge of the campaign: “ The first quota assigned us by the State Committee was $11,400 for the county. We were thereafter requested to increase this by 50 per cent, making a maximum quota of 317,100. By ag> greement with Mr. Eastham, the county was divided into two parts. The On tario District ineluded all of the snake River Valley, and the Vale District in cluded the remainder of the county. The Ontario District undertook to raise 55 per cent of the county quota and the Vale District 45 per cent. This gave Ontario a minimum quota of $0,270,and a maximum quota of $9,405. The mini mum quota for Vale District was $5 - 130, and the maximum quota $7,695. “ Local committees were appointed in the various districts surrounding On tario, and all of them rendered splen did service “ The work at Nyssa was placed in charge of a committee composed of E. M. Dean, Ray Wilson, H. T Francis, C. C. Hunt, and Peter Tensen. This committee mads a splendid stait, but the “ flu” came along and caught Dean and Wilson, and sent them to bed. so the hardest part of the work was left to the other members of the committee They were equal to the occassion, how ever. and secured satisfactory results. “ A large proportion of the funds at both Nyssa and Ontario were secured by voluntary subscription, without any solicitation.’’ Following are the totals so far re ceived at the time the report was made out: Ontario__________________ $ 5,026.91 Nyssa__________ ____ ____ 1,178.75 Outside districts._________ 2,521.12 A Brief Resume of the Daily Events in a Live Town— What Your Neighbors Are Doing.

Kingman Kolony BY OUR REOULAR CORRESPONDENT Membership in the American Red Cross That Universal Membership is the goal that all Red Cross workers must feel it a sacred duty to work for, is apparent from the fact that henceforth there are to be no more War Fund Drives, thuB making the membership the very foundation of the Red Cross, Every member must not only be en rolled in the Christmas Roll Call, but mako a strenuous effort to bring in a new member. The coming drive is for the $1 00 a year subscription for adult membership only; children of school age up to fifteen years should join thrsugh the regular Junior Auxiliaries, and they will not be solicited from in this Roll Call. Infants and young children are to be enrolled, if parents so desire. There will be no Christmas seala for tuberculosis work sold this year; ten seals will be given with every aubscripiioi , not only awarded t» those joining during the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call Let us all unite to keep the “ Army of Mercy’’ as highly imbued now with the spirit of love, service and personal sacrifice as it was during the war; that resting on the Universal Membership of the American People the Red Cross may accomplish her highest service to humanity during the period of recon struction.
