Wilmington will have ten strong
teams OF workers. Every man and
woman has agreed to devote a great deal
of time this week to canva ssing for
funds. Individuals will be visited and
given an opportunity to contribute, and
later in the week, shops. factories stores
and other organizations OF workers will
be called upon. Plans have been made
for accepting partial payments ON sub
scriptions which will allow four months
in which subscribers may pay their con
tributions. This feature is expected TO

anxious to aid the cause materially hut

sums at one time. The teams as COM

There is a strong team which will
operate in Kent and Sussex counties.
This is headed by DR.. G.. Layton
Grier. of Milford. and it's membership
touches every section Of rural Della
ware. Members OF that team VIII
make an auueal for small sums as
well as large. Delaware's share is to
be onehalf a million dollars and the
sentiment Of the people leads the ex-
ecutive committee TO believe that this
will be made up or probably over
subscribed by the rush Of small con-
tributiOns
Il is expected that at the dinner TO-
night announcement will be made of
some substantial contributions by
leaders in the movement No general
canvass has vet been started because
the campaign managers have given
team members binding instructions 10
ava { the signal. This, however. will
not prevent individuals from sending
in their contributions without waiting
for the call.
