S. White as head of the Lakeview sec tion. The group held a meeting Sat urday to lay plans for the campaign, which Mr. Stutts hopes to make as thorough as possible.' The Vass-Lakeview community is asked to raise $1,600—more than five times its quota for last year when $971.45 vlras actually collected. The committee plans to divide the en tire territory into blocks or sections, with a manager for^ each, who will see that a systematic canvass is made in which every person will be urged to contribute as generously as possible- Before the war when the usual re lief and disaster work was all that had to be done, annual contributions of $1 each from the rank and file of the citizenry were sufficient, but with the multiplied calls resulting from the war, it was imperative that every person do his utmost. Practically every home has one or more of its members in the service, so it is felt that the drive for funds will meet a hearty response. “Not one of us would fail to dig deep into our pockets if we knew that the money wbuld save the life of one of our own or our neighbors’ boys,” said Mr. Stutts, “and that is .just what Red Cross money is do ing, rushing medicine to the wound ed boy that may be yours or mine, bringing comfort and cheer to those an desolate prison camps, shut off from loved ones except for this chan- aiel of mercy.” “Do you think you’ll be able to raise the quota?” Chairman Stutts was asked. In his quiet way and with his usual smile, he replied: “Fm sure we will.” But its going to take the support of every man, woman and child in the Vass-Lakeview section, so let’s think the matter over and be ready trucking business from that place.
