last avala bic af3r endless detail work
in compiling reports and separating
the membership campaign from the
Red Cross war defense campaign,
which was ordered after the first cam
paign had been started.
Marshall county raised in the two
campaigns $3S,S94 which was almost
$4,000 above its allotment of 5 per
capita on a hundred million dollar fund
for the nation. OF this about $4,000
was turned in as membership dues,
and s32S94.15 as war fund contribu-
tons, but in some OF the precincts
the war fund includes memberships
which could not be separated, as the
local committees did not keep sepa-
rate records.
In the accompanying table is given

the per capita basis which was the
apportionment used Also the amount
credited to the war defense fund and
the allotment which would have been
made upon the assessed valuation OF
