Haywood Reaches
$6,287 Collected
In Waynesville
Area In Drive
"We have $6,287.09 reported in
hand, and several industries and
schools yet to report," A. P. Led
better, polio campaign chairman,
reported at noon yesterday for the
Waynesville area. "We will meet
our quota," he added.
The quota is $6,500 for this area.
Two bank clerks were still busy
counting small coins at noon, as
proceeds from schools, the dime
board and individual contributors
rolled into the treasury of the
polio fund, of which Mrs. Win. Nor
ris is treasurer.
The Beta Sigma Phi dance on
Friday night added some $1,500 to
the fund, with possibly a few dol
lars above that figure, it was re
ported. Plans are to keep the books of
the campaign open for the re
mainder of this week so that late
contributors may have a part in the
drive, it was announced.
Every means for raising money
have been employed by Mr. Led
belter and his large staff of co
workers. The Rotary Club sponsored the
dime board, as well as general
solicitations. The dime board net
ted -.$1,219,77. Besides personal
solicitation, and working through
the schools, money was raised by
the dance Friday night, through
sporting events, radio programs,
the dime board, and pay roll de
duction plans in several industries.
Mr. Ledbetter said yesterday: "I
want to thank everyone who work
ed during this campaign, and to all
contributors. Whil it has been a
hard Job, we all realize ft was for
a good cause; and that makes us
doubly happy now that we have
reached our. goal. Many thinks for
your help and money."

Beekman Huger
Says Canton Will
Pass $6,500 Goal
The $fi,500 polio quota in the
Canton area will be passed, it was
predicted at noon Monday by Beek
man Huger, general chairman, in
making a joint statement with Ed
win Haynes. campaign chairman.
"We do not have that much in
the bank as yet,' Mr. Huger ex
plained, "but with several schools
to report, and one or two areas
staging special events Monday
night, we have every reason to feel
we will go over the top by the time
we get all these funds together."
"We have deposited $5,CO9.90 in
the bank, as of noon Monday, and
four schools yet to report," Mr.
Huger said.
The dime board in Canton is still
operating, and no count has been
made of the funds on the board.
"We feel we have met the quota!
with a safe margin to spare," Mr.
Haynes said.
The North Canton school, with
300 students, turned in $500 to the
fund. This action gave other
schools an incentive to pass their
dollar per student goal, and Indi
cations are that the record will be
broken in several schools in the
Canton area.
Campaign workers felt that by
Wednesday most all reports would
be completed, and the final figures
completed.
