Y. VIC. A. AND REGISTRATION

-
Thirteen of the twenty-five counties
in this district are already lined up in
the Y. w. c. A. organization prepara-
tory to the United War Work Cam
paign November IL, according to an
nouncement Monday by Mrs. L. j.
Luethi, Toledo, chairman of this dis
trict. County chairmen have been ap-
pointed who will serve in the united
campaign on a general county COM
mittee having representation from
each of the seven organizations in the
drive: The Y. M. C. A., Y. w. G. A.,
National Catholic War Council, Jew
ish Welfare Board, War Camp Com
munity Service, American Library
Association and Salvation Army. The
committee will work under direction
of united campaign director for the
county.
Organizations under the Y. w. G. A.
have been effected in 63 counties of
the state.
The last registration for the ma
tional army was increased by work of
the War Council of the Y. w. c. A.,
Mrs. Luethi said to-day. She ex-
planned that work among non-English
speaking women is conducted in ff-
teen foreign community centers and
translations are being made into
eighteen languages of government
bulletins. Many of these women op-
posed their husbands registering un-
til the draft law was explained to
them. The Y. w. c. A. corps of trans
lators and interpreters also help for
eign-born women whose men have
gone into service. One secretary at
New York headquarters has a type
writer on which she sends out letters
in eight languages.
This is one of the branches of the
Y. w. C. A. war work that speakers
in this county will explain in detail
during the campaign.

CITY HALL REPAIR
IS PROGRESSING
COuncilmen Consider Bids and Award
Contract for Plumbing and Heating
City Hall - Repairs on Building
Progressing.

In the midst of shavings, bits of
lumber, fallen plaster and other de-
bris incidental to building repair, and
in a chill atmosphere that necessi-
tated the wearing of overcoats and
hats, Mayor Bulger gathered the
members of the City (Square) Table
last Monday evening for the regular
bi-weekly legislative tournament.
Following routine business the
council considered plans and specifi-
cations for plumbing and heating the
City Hall building with the aid of
Mr.. L. u. Wallace, who has the gen.
eral contract for the repair of the
building. Bids were received from
Clark Mohr, Earle H. Hill and
Bryan firm on the plumbing and heat
ing contract and the contract for this
work was awarded to Earle H. Hi for
50 2,825.75. An ordinance was passed
declaring the existence of an emerg
ency and awarding the contract to Mr..
Hill.
It must not be supposed for mo-
ment that the council are giddily and
recklessly spending money in these
times of national emergency to
/ RTdIlly q WIuu W repair CHS SlLy
| Hall, for that is farthest from the
truth The council is acting in this
matter under direct orders from the
State Department of Health and
State Building Department, who have
peremptorily ordered these repairs.
Toilets were ordered placed in the
building and the placing of toilets
necessitates heating plant and other
repairs were ordered, which the coun-
ell, if left to themselves, would prob
ably have struggled along without for
the duration of the war at least. But
the State departments seemingly are
not aware that there is a war on or
that national emergency exists. Mr..
Wallace is making good progress in
the repair of the building. A large
window has been placed in the west
side of the council chamber insuring
adequate light during the daylight
hours and the entrance has been NOV
ed to the north.
No other business of Importance
was transacted with the exception
of the passing of a resolution to make
settlement with Harry Anderson for
special assessment on lots owned by
him for street improvement. Claim
ordinance, which included bills for re-
pair of Shoop avenue, was passed
and council adjourned. After adjourn

OHIO LEADING IN SALES

Ohio continues to- lead all states IN
the aggregate sale of War Savings
stamps, the cash sales to September
l amounting to total of $50, 100000
according to the Ohio War Savings
committee. The campaign gains in
impetus and the "roll up" during the
last few days in August indicates
that Ohio people who pledged to pur-
chase are making good ther promises
to buy.
Nine counties-Ashland, Morrow,
Morgan, Knox, Highland, Seneca,
Warren, and Noble-have exceeded
their cash quotas of $40 per capita
for the year, and 35 more counties
are on the road to the victory list
within the next few weeks. Morrow
leads with cash sales of $40 for every
man, woman, and child in the coun-
ty. Ashland was the first to exceed
it's quota.
Muskingum, Butler, and Clark
counties have each absorbed more
than $1,000,000 in War Savings
stamps. Lucas county is tagging in
the campaign, having sold less than
montgomery county ana Sl,oUU,OUU
behind Franklin county. Cuyahoga,
Hamilton, Franklin and Stark coun-
ties have sold from 81, 100000 to more
than $5,OO0,000. The sales in Rich
land, Athens, Licking, and Columbi-
ana counties are nearing the $1,000,-
900 mark.
Recent activities in Youngstown
and Akron are bringing these COM
munities in line with the success in
all parts of the state. Sixty-five
counties have sold in excess of $40
per capita to September 1.
The record in Ohio in aggregate
sales, which exceeds that of either
New York state, Pennsylvania, or
Illinois-each with twice the popula-
tion-is attracting the attention Of
the nation to the Buckeye state.

RED CROSS ASKS
HELP OF US ALL
Lake Division Issues An Appeal to All
Chapters to Aid In Collecting
Clothing for Ten Million Imprisoned
People In Belgium and France
Campaign September $3.50.

Chairman Wolf, of Fulton County
Red Cross, has received an appeal for
cooperation in a campaign to collect
clothing for the ten million people i'm
prisoned in the occupied portions of
Belgium and France. This appeal
grows out of the following cablegram
from Herbert Hoover to Henry P.
Davidson, chairman of the Red Cross
War Council:
"The ten million imprisoned people
in occupied Belgium and France are
facing shame, suffering, disease and
some of them death for lack of cloth
ing this winter. They must be helped.
"Your first campaign yielded mag
nifcent results, bringing in fully s.
900 tons of clothing in good condi-
ton. But much more is needed if
these war-ravaged people are to get
through the winter in decency and
saiety.
"In the face of brutal coercion and
spiritual suffering they remain splen-
didly courageous. This courage chal-
lenges our charity. Let US match the
courage of Belgium by the generosity
of America.
"HERBERT HOOVER"
Chairman Dawson answered this
call for help by the following letter:
"My Dear Mr.. Hoover:
"Your cablegram regarding the col
lection of used and surplus cloth
ing for 100000 imprisoned people
in occupied Belgium and France is a
call to the Red Cross to assist again
in the relief of this stricken popula-
tion.

September 1880 for a special cam

GAS the need is greater than ever
it is certain that the people of the
country will respond even more gen.

chapters through our divisiona or
ganization. and our workers. we feel
sure, will be glad to know that they
can again be of service in this way.
Cordially yours,
al. P. DAWSON"
The allotment to the Lake Division
is 400 tons and the Fulton Chapter
will of course do its full share; the
need is great and urgent.
