Henry p. Scott, chairman OF the team

The Victory Boys and Girls report
today was also very encouraging. Pu-
pills OF ST. Elizabeth psrochial school

that every pupil between ~ and 20
years Of age, pledges TO earn IS to be

High %, and Friends School 8, all Of
these pledges having been made today.
II Is expected that 10000 pupils In the
State will pledge themselves to earn
s. each for the fund.
In his appeal to the workers 10 put
more pep" into the campaign, Chair-
man Thompson said:
AT the close OF our meeting yester-
day, several captains said 10 me, This
campaign lacks enthusiasm and drive"
/ admit Il. You can give a dozen rea-
sons. l think the principal reason Is
the reaction from the great news re-
ceived Monday morning; after a period
OF tension we have let down. Again,
the magnificent generosity OF the du-
POnt Company and It's officers is push
ing this drive along so fast that people
are holding back on the theory that we
don't need their money. Now II Is up
to the captains and the teams to cor
rect this feeling.
AN analysis OF the subscriptions TO
date. in comparison with the subscrip-
fact. We are getting some five hun
dreds when we should get a thousand;
some one hundreds when we should
get five hundred; some tens where we
should get a hundred In some OF these
cases / think / would be justified IN
saying. "Old man, II won't do. This is
all right for one organization, but re-
member, you are contributing 10
seven"
sThe American Gar and Foundry Com |
pany has given this town a splendid I
example Of what 10 do. This company /
agrees TO contribute one dollar TO every /
dollar contributed by its employees. |
Why can't our Market street merchants
take up this plan?
I'VE need every penny we can Sc
cure. and I want this contribution TO be /
a Thanksgiving Offering, a gift show
ing our gratitude to the boys for what
they have done. They are over there /
and Will be over there for some time,
and they are hOmesick. Let US create /
homes for them, and that's what this
whole movement means. Safeguard
them with home atmosphere"
The big gifts announced at yester-
days luncheon came as a pleasing sur
prise to the workers.
