WASHINGTON COUNTY'S
RED CROSS REPORT
Total of 4,a7o Members Were Secured in
Christmas Week Drive, According
to the Final Returns.

Forty per cent. of the money received
membership campaign has been paid over
to the local branches of the American
Red Cross in Washington county. This
percentage, according TO the figures pre-
sented by S. Hollistcr Jackson, who di'
rected the work in the county, amounted
to Sl,7s6,32, and is TO be used by the
locals in Red Cross work and relief. The
remaining 90 per cent. OF the campaign
proceeds is divided between the state
headquarters and national headquarters,
the state headquarters receiving 10 per
cent, and the national headquarters 80
per cent A check for S2,6Tg.4S, covering
the 60 per cent, has been sent to the
state headquarters in Burlington.
| The Times prints to-day detailed
summary of campaign which demon
strated again the loyalty of Washington
county folks in supporting the Red Cross
The total amount of money received in
Washington county during the campaign
was S4465.S0, which represents a new
membership of 4,279, and an excess of
29l members over the quota assigned to
the county. That more money was re-
ceived than is equivalent to dollar each
for new members is accounted for by the
fact that some of the new members sub
scribed ", in order 10 obtain the Red
Cross magazine; others subscribed S. TO
become contributing members, while
some contributed amounts without en-
rolling new members.
Some towns previously had obtained a
Red Cross membership up to the percent
age desired at the time of the Christmas
week campaign. Hence the foregoing fig
ures, referring to new memberships, do
not represent the percentage of the pres
ent membership of the several towns and
cities in Washington county. The fig
ures represent only the new members
obtained during the recent campaign.
Some of the towns have gone beyond the
required percentage, even though their
list of new members may appear rela
lively small.
Twenty.three names for total of S23, |
received from Mortified this morning, is |
in the table below. The com |
mittee in charge of the general canvass !
explains that some of the captains in |
the various towns are credited with sums
solicited in towns outside their jurisdic
ton, as in some cases money collected on
the border of one town may have been
diverted to the captain of the adjacent
township. An effort has been made, how
ever, to assign TO each town its proper
percentage of money, and anyone who
Ias contributed may be sure that the
light percentage of money will divert to
he use of the Red Cross in his own
own. The summary of towns, new mem
,ers, money received, state and national
hares and towns shares is given below:
