*®’'vices included in the campaign.
The board of directors of the Eden
pited Fund approved the over-all
J^dget recommended by the budget and
j^'^issions committee. The $105,000 rep-
psents a slight increase over last year’s
and includes an amount of $4,199
'*gned to cover any shrinkage due to
through, stopping only to eat or get gas.
The ditty bags are filled with a variety
of things. Mrs. Lois DeHart, chapter
director of the Winston-Salem Red
Cross, said they have a recommended
list of items to include, but each bag
will vary. They try to balance them
with such things as candy, reading ma
terial, games and grooming items.
Every Red Cross Chapter in the coun
try has a quota of ditty bags, and Mrs.
r
DeHart said most of them usually ex
ceed their quota. The quota is deter
mined by the size of the chapter, and
the military tells the Red Cross the
total number of bags needed.
The Fieldcrest truck carried bags
from chapters in Eden, Madison, Reids-
ville. Walnut Cove, Mocksville, Sanford,
Greensboro, Asheboro, High Point,
Thomasville, Lexington, Burlington and
Forsyth County.
