L CHESTUNTS T0 REPORT TODAY Heavy Sr\})\iv Spurs Workers to Make Good Showing in First Effort. (Continued From First Page) Region Five and Maj. Campbell C. Johnson is secretary. Under the leader- &hip of Judge James A. Cobb, a special gifts committee from this region is seeking contributions of $100 or more from colored citizens. Daily Meetings Scheduled. ‘The determination of the campaign managers to continue the drive beyond February 6, if necessary to complete the budget goal acted as a spur to every | worker. Daily meetings will be held at the Mayflower headquarters during the remainder of the campaign. The meet- ings are expected to develop keen rival- Iy between the hundreds of teams. ‘This rivairy already is manifest. At the meeting of the sg;dal gift committee yesterday, Mr. Noyes ex- plained that it had been felt necessary to lower its quota to $875,000. He stressed the point that failure last year played an important part in the fail- ure of the committee to reach its origi- nal quota. So far, he explained, these increases had amounted to only about | $60,000 or less than 10 per cent, where- as they should have been at least 20 per cent. New gifts of about $60,000, he ex-| plained, had been offset by the fact that some few reduced their subscrip- tions; many gave the same amount as last year, and a number had either died, moved away or were temporarily absent from the city. He concluded by saying that the committee might be forced to go back to some of those who had already given and ask rgain for an increased gift. Gifts of $500 and More, Gifts of $500 and over were reported the special gifts committee yester- day, as follows: Sanitary rocery Co., $6.000; Wash- ington Gas Light Co., $3,000; Peoples Stores, Inc. $3.000; Ogden Mills, $2,500; Washington Times Co., $1,500 National Electric Supply Co $l 250; All Souls' Church, $1,200; Sl 100 John 3 ) R.
