be conducted on an intensive scale
such as that used In the recent hos

been worked which should result IN
almost every resident of this city be-
ing reached in an effort to secure
donations. There will be no teams,
assignment cards or allotment OF
certain territory to certain teams.
There Will be, however, small COM
mittees working in each factory,
church. organization, among tho
merchants and professional men to
approach everyone In an effort to
have all do their bit In order to
further stimulate worltmen to make
voluntary donations members of the
local Red Cross chapter in uniform
of that organization will be stationed
at the various factories. They will
also be at the ferry and county
bridge to stop automobiles passing
through this city In an effort to se1.<
cure subscriptions additional from
those which will be given by the resi-
dents of this city.
The campaign will be explained IN
the churches of the city, the factory
officials will bring it before the em-
ployes and all organizations will be
