GREAT RESPONSE TO
CALL OF sORGANIZA-
TION FOR FUNDS.
Ranchers Are Reported to
BE Doing Exceptionally
Well in the Matter of Sub
scriptiOns-Brawley Re-
ports $4,000 This Morning

Imperial county has subscribed
more than 200 per cent over the to-
tai at the fourth day of the first
drive land still the work of corraling
the dollars for the merciful work sue
cessfully goes on.
"Turn in all Red Cross funds Sc
cured from benefits and auction sales
for this drive" is the message of
Campaign Manager Reed to outside
auXiliariese today. ~
Ell Centro's total today, as report
ed by Frank Erzinger, was $7865.71
in cash, and total of $10,984.76. This
total does not include the "'49 Camp"
funds. There seems to be some ques-
tion now as TO what manner this fund
will be turned in to the Red Cross
Golfers.
County Chairman James w. Glass
ford states that the outlook is for a
geo per cent subscription all over the
county.
Campaign Manager Reed issued the
following statement today:
"'Going over the top the middle of
the second day of the Red Cross War
Fund drive, the Imperial chapter is
now carrying on The work goes
on with unabated interest throughout
the county. To date, $4,000 has
been raised, and many reports are
still to be recorder, and the work has
only been completed in two auxiliar-
les. McCabe was first to report, with
the Acacia district coming in soon
after. These enterprising auXiliaries
each report nearly 5000. Brawley,
with the help of the outside school
districts, reported $4,000 in this morn
ing. Holtville is going strong and
will turn in about $4,000. Most of
this sum has already been collected.
Imperial is going strong under the
efficient leadership of C. w. Wait
inland reported $3.50 raised with
much more to come. Calipatria went
over the top several days ago, and
will doubtless double its quota of ST.
800. Heber is doing well in her eff
fort to keep up with the other aux
iliaries. One of the gratifying fea-
lures of the campaign is the large
amount of cash that is being turned
in. Some of the district went out to
raise their allotments strictly upon
a cash basis. Many sales and other
benefits are being scheduled which
will greatly swell the total fund for
Imperial county.
"The results of this campaign will
go we'll over 200 per cent more than
the same territory raised in the first
drive for the Red Cross. The general
spirit of enthusiasm and patriotism
is a credit to any section of the Unit
ed States. The response of the ranch
ers deserves special mention. There
are just four more days to go. Don't
let the time go by without making
some contribution for the boys over
there ~
"Bard has just reported that it will
raise we'll over $500. Silsbee, one of
the new auxiliaries. will raise over
5000 The advertising features of
the drive throughout the county de-
serve much credit and were ably
done by A. C. Johnson. Mr.. Sawyer
also very kindly devoted much free
advertising space on his sign boards"
