FINAL PLANS FOR
WAR CAMPAIGN
ARE PREPARED
Ten Counties of Central Penn
sylvania Organized to
y Aid Soldiers

from district headquarters in this
city to-day.
| Prominent men and women in the
I industrial, financial, and religious
life of every one of the ten counties
are included in the various units
! of the organization, including Off
GERS, executive committee and advis-
ory council.
These men and women are Civ
| ing every minute possible of their
time to put the big campaign to be
held from November IL to November
IS over with total far exceeding the
| $S00,000 set as the districts quota.
In each and every county of the dis
| trict they are now busy completing
the organization work of the various
cmmunities in preparation for the
whirlwind drive to be held soon.
Every effort will be made to pro-
cure amounts far in excess of the
! quotas set, for these quotas are now
declared to be far too low because
of the rapid growth of the Amer
ican Army overseas.
I'VE simply must try to top our
| quotas by from thirty to fifty per
cent, "7declared e. ]. Stackpole, Har-
risburg, general chairman of the
| district, to-day. "Our boys over
there depend upon the folks back
home to provide the bit of homelike
comfort they receive from the seven
war work organizations cooperating
in the campaign. The money we
give will do more than we can ever
know to brighten the dreary winter
days and nights ahead for our men
in France and on the other war
! fronts. 1t is up to every man and
woman, every boy and girl to give
and give literally, always remem-
bering that no sacrifice we can make
is comparable TO that of the men
in Navy lue and olive drab."
