FIFTH DAY RESULTS,

The campaign for funds which has
been carried on in this city during
the past week by one hundred women
in order that new day nursery
might be purchased, is practically
completed as a result of the ten
teams collecting $1,509.23 yesterday.
This amount with that of the first
four days brings the grand total up
to $7,2S2.60 and as several large
donations are still expected from GER
tain factories as well as individuals
and organizations, the women feel
that the $4,000 mark will be reached
with no trouble.
Headquarters in the high school
have been closed and the campaign
Is practically completed, all donations
now being received by the treasurer,
Mrs. Frank Dorsey.
