More Than Half of Total
Collected by Women
Workers
ATLANTIC CITY. Jan. 80.

General Chairman Edward L. Bader
and other campa ign leaders in the drive
to raise 10000 here for the war work
of the l;nights of Columbus have an
nouced a successful termination OF their
task. Something more than $500 was
collected in cash by interchangeable COM
mttees made up very largely of loyal
women workers. Pledges aggregate more
than sufficient to take the campaign
"over the top" to victory
very considerable part of the cash
receipts Of the drive was realized by the
woman's auxiliary Of the city Hospital.
of which Mrs. John l.. Kelly was chair
man. They held card parties and other
social side issues Women who did not
care TO take a hand at the card tables
were invited to come around and bring
their knitting" They paid cheerfully for
the privilege of watching the others play
and ply their needles at the same time.
A report in fun will be presented at
q meeting Of the general committee on
Wednesday night.
The next morning twenty teams, cap
tanned by shore captains of industry.
having waited patriotically TO give the
Knights of Columbus a clear track. will
launch three days drive to raise s12.-
600 TO maintain the Boy Scouts at the
shore for three years. The slogan is
1000 scouts and $4,000 year Four
years ago Atlantic City had 600 scouts
and a wide-awake organization. with
Governor Edge as the head of the Scout
Council lie had to surrender that Office
to take charge of the affairs of the
State. Since that time the scout enroll
ment has dwindled to about $50, and
teamwork is necessary to save the cause
here.
