A good sum has been reaiized Moderate south | Moderate southeast Col. J. A. Atwood, Vice President of State Red Cross Organi- zation, Visits Local Headquarters — Standard Oil Co. Contributes $300—-Norwi:|\ Munc Association $100— Chairman Eben Learned was in an optimistic mood when questioned last evening about the progress of the sdc- ond campaign of the American Red Cross for war funds. *“Upon the Nor- wich chapter,” said Mr. Learned, “has been placed the taek of raising $40,000 in this drive, and while a consideradle number of additional subscriptions must be eecured béfore that sum is realized. we are determinefl to exert every available effort in our desire to attain the end for which we are worlk- ing. Norwich has not yvet neglected any similar patriotic project and we have no reason to feel that the cam- paign now in progress will be allowed to go on record-as a failure. Enthusiastic Workers Everywhere. “It is simply wonderful,” said Chair- man Learned, “how well everybody is working. The house to house can- vassers,/the committees to canvass the mercantile and industrial plants, the women workers in the theatres, the various church organizations, in fact, every agency engaged in this drive are doing wonderfully well. And the out- lying districts are responding gener- ously, too. Without their good work, going over the to Everyone Should Give Something. Continuing, Chairman Learned said: “In this campaign we want to reach everyone. The Red Cross wants every man, woman and child whose heart is in this war to contribute something in this campaign, no matter how small It will be a reproach not to give some- thing; joy to give generously. Some can contribute very little; therefore others should give more liberally, when they can. In the day of final victory, when the work of the American Red ! Cross in this world conflict shall be a matter of record, everyone of us who has given to this means, will feel proud to think that our contribution at this time, no mat- ter how small it may be, has been a factor in the winning of this war.” Athletic Games Today. In connection with the lawn fete to be given under the auspices of the Helping Hands of the First Spiritual union, which is to bé held on the lawn back of the Plaut-Cadden buijlding to-, v, there will be games under the su- at the booths and a whirlwind windup to the campaign is expected today.
