In Wilkes the campaign to raise

that the public will not be called
on for relief and other donations
until the Red Cross fund is to be
raised, which will be in March
next year.
In organizing the county for
the National War Fund campai.gn
the community divisions used iiy
the extension service were used as
a basis with a choirm-in, a com
mittee and list of workers for
each community. Through this
organization it is hoped that prai’-
tically all the people of the coui'.-
ty will be contacted and will ue
given an opportunity to have ■
part in putting Wilkes over the
top.
Leaders in this campaign point
out that WMlkes county has more
than reached its assigned quota iu
every war effort campaign end
^urge all the people to make sure
^that Wilkes will again accom
plish her full share.
