A rating committee will estimate
the income of every potential contrib
utor in the county and, with this as a
basis, determine the equitable pro-
portion of each contributor. The gem
eral rating committee is composed of
/ G. NJ. Rice and w. L. Thompson, heads
of the two Pendleton banks, Assessor
/ c. p. Strain, Tax Collector A. C. Funk

/ in his district.

To Publish SIackers.
A publicity committee, with Z. b.
Aldrich as chairman and consisting
sof' the publishers of every paper in
Umatilla county, was appointed and
among other duties prescribed is the
publication of all contributors in each
drive together with a list of those
whom the executive board or general
committee adjudge slackers in war
giving.
The general committee will be COM
posed of the executive board, district
precinct and committee chairmen
and the members of all committees
specified above.
Only Three Drives.
The plan as adopted provides that
there shall not be more than three
drives, exclusive of Liberty Loan
drives, each year. If greater num-
Der of requests are passed upon ia
vorably drives will be combined.
The general committee also as
sumed the duties of passing upon all
other drives for funds, except lodge
and church drives confined to their
own members, and went on record as
opposed to the conducting of any
drives for funds except for war pur-
poses.
In this connection the proposed
statewide campaign for funds to build
a woman's building at the University
of Oregon, as explained TO the COM
mittee by Mrs. r. T. Bishop, was not
favored, the general sentiment being
that such drives are inopportune at
this time and should be the more dis
couraged because the government has
asked that all building operations ex-
cept those absolutely necessary be
stopped.
The request of Mrs. Robert Tate,
chairman of the child welfare COM
mission for permission to raise $1,000
in Umatilla county for the Boys and
Girls Aid Society was referred to the
county court with the recommended
ton that the court appropriate for
the support of the orphanage such
amount .as it deems to be thesshare of
this county.
Y. w. c. \. Drive Endorsed.
The committee endorsed the pro-
posed Y. w. c. A. drive in this county
for $500 and left the fixing of a date
with the executive committee. Rev.
Alfred Lockwood and Judge Lowell
explained the purposes of the Y. w. c. |
A. fund.
1t was decided not to conduct any
general drive for the sale of Smile
age Books but it was decided to send
the books to district chairmen and let
them establish selling stations. This
plan was deemed all that would be
necessary for the selling of Umatilla
county's quota.
The executive committee of the or
ganization will at once complete as
near as possible the list of the poten-
tial contributors in the county and
send the proper lists to each district
where they will be checked over and
supplemented. Committees will take
the attitude Of collecting rather than
soliciting bodies. Receipts will be
given for all funds and reports will
be made by each committee on re-
fusals.
District chairman have been given
ten days in which to agree with the
chairman of adjoining districts on the
boundary lines of their territory and
report to the executive committee.
The meeting was fraught with much
discussion and. while there was some
differences of opinion as to methods,
there was a unanimity of approval for
the purposes of the committee. Among
those present from over the county
were ]. H.sPrice Sim Culley and
Chance Rogers ot Weston; Lou Hod-
gen of Umapine; George Strand of
