 When the final meeting of the War Work Council, of the United War Work campaign at Morenci was called to order by the Chairman Dr. F. B. Stanton. it was apparent on all sides that Morenci had lived up to the general precedent set by the towns of Arizona. She had gone over the top with flags flying.
 The grand sum of fifteen thousand dollars had been contributed. In ad- dition to this amount the Phelps Dodge Corporation donated twenty five hundred dollars This enormous sum was not raised without effort. The War Work Council appointed committees of Italians, MeXicans, and Spaniards, respectively, and these committees solicited contributions from their countrymen.
