It was not until she was nannea

The letter, from a woman m

Is believed the county goal of
$19,400 will be "In sight," is was
learned from Johnny Johnson area
chairman this morning.
With what we have in hand, and
with what we have been told "un

izations have on hand, we will be
within $1,000 of the goal, Mr.
Johnson explained.
The members of the Secretaries
Club on Wednesday faced the bad
weather, and collected $569 in the
campaign for Polio. "We found
many porch lights awaiting us, and
the people were generous in the
response," Miss Mary Medford,
president, said.
In commenting on the work of
the secretaries, Mr. Johnson paid
high tribute for their manner in
going after the money, and work
ing so hard In the bad weather.
Reports 'from Edwin Haynes, of
Canton, indicated that donations
in the Canton area were about on
a par with those In this end of the
county. Several major committees
are yet to make a report, Mr.
Haynes said.
Mr, Johnson pointed out that
White Oak was the only Commu

complete report to date. "We have
heard indirectly form others, and
have estimated their gifts from all
of them in arriving at the total of
near I he coal," he explained. "We
arc still counting on these contri
butions in order to reach our
quota.'
Miss Medford said she wanted
to pay tribute to the mcmbeis of
