D., Sept. 22—(2)— Determined to shoulder its own re- sponsibilities as far as resources per- mit, North Dakota, through its state drouth-relief committee, Tuesday ac- cepted a quota of $200,000 to be raised in a state-wide campaign beginning Cct. 11. That announcement was made here by William M. Baxter, Jr. manager of the midwest area of the American Red Cross upon his ar-, rival from St. Louis. Baxter came here to attend the first of a series of Red Cross regional conferences, called for the purpose of perfecting the Montana-North Da- kota drouth-relief program. With the assurance from state of- ficials and business leaders that “the state can deal with its local prob- lem,” Baxter pledged the resources of the national Red Cross to com- plete the task of relief. Ordinarily the Red Cross conducts its annual roll call in November, Bax- ter said, but in order to concentrate the efforts of every group and indi- vidual in the state upon the $200,- 000 quota, the roll call is being com- bined with the fund appeal in this) instance.

He issued an appeal to the citizenship of the state to bend every effort in help- ing the relief agency provide for the drouth sufferers. “As a result of the serious drouth conditions in the northwest section of the state, North Dakota is facing the greatest emergency in its his- tory,” the governor said. “Distress has spread over 11 counties and gives promise of growing even more acute during the winter months. Without outside assistance suffering will be- come widespread among the state's thousands of drouth-stricken fami- lies. “For many months the American Red Cross has met the needs of those affected.
