DIOCESAN ORGANIZATION

The United War Work Campaign
expects to raise $170,500,000 from the
nation and 100000 from st. Paul
The local officers are A. B. Driscoll
chairman John r. Mitchell, secre-
tary, and Ira c. Oehler, treasurer.
The headquarters are the Soldiers
and Sailors Club on Fourth and Ce-
dar Streets.
The College of st. Catherine had a
fully organized Victory Girls team,
which did good work in securing the
full quota for the college. The girls
did this by earning and giving the
receipts of several movies, a beauty
parlor and a carnival. This was
RENTED through the College Section.
The School part of the United Drive
that has been set up to raise money
to maintain the seven welfare agen-
cies for our forces is the Victory Boy
and the Victory Girl campaign.
The object of this effort is to have
boys and girls Earn and Give (not
ask of their parents), $500 each to
support this deserving cause. The
$500 suggested pledge may be modi-
fed to any sum over $1.00 for the
younger pupils who might not be able
to earn more. No money is to be
paid to the school-room captains.
Pledges are to be collected each day
and handed to the school major. The
Victory Girl or Boy chairman for the
parish will receive them from the
school major and give them to the
district colonel, who in turn makes
report to city chairman.
The United Welfare Drive has been
misunderstood in some localities
The generous donor, wishing to re-
serve his pledge for a Knights of Co.
lumbus, or the Guild of Catholic
Women, or some other distinctively
Catholic source, found that the only
method was to give to the regular
authorized War Organization, and so
follow out President Wilson's ex-
pressed desire that the funds col
lected be entrusted to a combined
committee of the seven agencies at
work for the soldiers and sailors.
The seven agencies are the National
Catholic War Council, the Y. NJ. G. A.
and the Y. w. C. A., the Jewish We'll
fare, Salvation Army, American Lib
rary Association, and the War Camp
Community Service.
