There have been many campaigns
in Harrisburg, for many purposes,
since the United States entered the
war in the spring of 1917, but it is
doubtful if any three of them-any
three rolled into one-had as many
enthusiastic workers as will take part
in the drive through which it is pro-
posed to give Harrisburg Red Cross
Chapter membership eqtial in
numbers to the population of the
district
This campaign has two begin
nings."
1t begins for volunteers on Decem-
ber 8 and continues through De-
cember 10 and IL.
1t begins for others than volun-
teers on December 16 and continues
for one week.
Quarters mi Every Block
During December 8, 10 and II,
residents of the district may hunt
up the Red Cross representative in
their block and join through that
representative.
1t is planned to have a Red Cross
place of registration on every block
in Harrisburg and on every block
in every municipality in the entire
district.
In the city the three colonels will
be in charge of all the workers.
over each ward and it's workers will
be major. This major will name
captains in each ward precinct-or
voting district. The captains in turn
Will select lieutenants in each block,
and these lieutenants will name the
privates who will canvass the four
sides of the block. In this manner
the city will be Thoroughly covered
ithin forty EIGHT hours of the OPEN
ing drive on December Is. This will
be more easily possible, too, because
on December 8, 10 and IL the volun-
teers will enroll.
A Big District
On each block there will be house
so decorated that it will advertise
itself as the Red Cross headquar-
ters for that block. The expectation
is that 80 per cent. of the block
population will be enrolled during
the first three-day drive. Then the
balance of the population will be
looked after during the week of De-
cember 1923.
The registration of new members
ana members who renew is expected
to be so large during the volunteer
days that no industrial campaign
will be neeessary-as has been the
case in other war work campaigns
in this district.
The district covered by Harris
burg Red Cross Chapter is compos-
ed of the following:
All the river towns in Cumberland
county.
All of Perry county.
All of Dauphin county except
Steelton and Middletown, which
have their own Red Cross Chapters.
All of Harrisburg.

money to distribute. With that
question the states attorney is ask
ed to say whether there is any legal
objection to paying Dauphin county
an additional twenty-five per cent.
of her apportionment out of unused
state moneys which is available be-
cause other counties in Pennsylva-
MIA have not accepted the pension
or assistance law.
Entitled to S4,459.01
Under the state law Dauphin
county would be entitled to receive
$4,459.91 annually from the state if
the county puts an equal amount in
the pension fund, and for the next
six months of the pension fiscal
year" the eounty's share would be
one-half or $2,229.95.
May Begin With $6.6S0.S6
With that amount and an equal
sum appropriated by the county. the
trustees of the Dauphin county fund
would have $4,459.91 to work with
until next July but the commission
ers all said they would like to have
large amount provided. There
fore, they decided to petition for
L
of the unused moneys which would
amount to $1,114.9S. If the state
allows that and the county gives a
like amount the pension fund trus-
tees will be able to start off with S6,-
$3.50.
The Commissioners said they de-
cided to take up the Mothers Pension
proposition because they were given

were told that the trustees could and
likely would have their headquarters

ties in the city and that there would
be no overhead charges.
Cost to County to BE Low
Before a vote was taken on the
resolution this morning the Commits
sioners all spoke on the subject and
they one and all said that the Moth
ers' pension law was not accepted
before this because 1t seemed to them
that only a trifiing amount would be
available for work in this county.
The assurance that the administration
charges would be very low stirred
them to action, they said.

They afterward expressed the like.
