DOLLARS POUR IN
FOR RED CROSS FUND
TO AID SOLDIERS
Barre Canvassers Are Going About from
House to House and Are Meeting
with Good Success.

This morning the Red Cross canvass
ers spread out over the city in an at
tempt to give every individual chance
to do his bit for the Red Cross war fund.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
captains and lieutenants for the various
wards and outlying districts was held
IN the city court room and they received
final instructions in their work The
meeting was well attended, representa-
tives from outside the city limits com
ing from Granitevlle, Websterville, East
Barre, South Barre, and the three hills,
east, west and Beckley.. The town of
Washington is to do its own canvassing,
but all that it collects will be turned
into the local fund.
Up to the close of headquarters last
night the total number of subscribers
had reached the number of 204 and their
subscriptions amounted TO S72403. This
is an average of 1886 to each person
and indicates above everything else the
lack OF any big subscriptions. One of
the largest contributions, $50, was turned
in yesterday by the Granite chapter, r.
A. NJ. There have been several other
contributions of $25 and $50.
Reports on the house to house canvass
this morning showed better success, how
ever, for many of the subscriptions were
for So and $40 amounts. Apparently a
good many people have been waiting to
be approached. All persons who are ac-
cidentally neglected by the canvassers
to-day are urged to hand their subscrip-
tions in at headquarters by tonight if
possible and by Monday at the latest
New pledges brought into Red Cross
headquarters up to sharp noon to-day
numbered l46 and the subscriptions, to-
tailed S232.36. These pledges were brought
in from the outlying residential sections,
the canvassers covering the downtown
section not having completed their work
by half. This brings the total for the
first three and half days of the cam
paign up to S937.63.
