Other Towns of Delaware and Ma
tion-Canvass to be Made Here
The new Red Cross campaign for
500, 900, 000-''one hundred merci-
full millions will open in Delaware,
along with the rest of the country,
next Monday and continue for one
week. Smyrna will, as usual. en-
deavor to do its bit. The American
Red Cross War Chest needs replenish-
ing. The work accomplished during
the last year has been so wonderful
and so helpful in upholding clviliza-
tion and relieving the distress caused
by the barbarous "Hun' that the
managers of the campaign have every
confidence that the new fund will be
raised with little difficulty. Every
effort will he made to allow every
person in the State an opportunity to
join in this great work. DR.. G. Lay
ton Grier, of Milford, is organizing
teams in every hundred and every
district of the two lower counties.
Kent and Sussex made large rontribu-
tions last year and there is every ex-
pectstion that they will exceed the
! the amounts this time. In rural New
Castle, L. Scott Townsend has charge
of the organization work. He will
have sixteen teams making a canvas
of this county. Mr.. Townsend threat
ems to give Wilmington a very hard
race for first place in this canvas for
contributions. Wilmington itself will
be organized under ten team captains
and most thorough canvass is to be
made there. Next Sunday every con-
gregation in the State will hear the
message of the Red Cross presented by
its pastor. The preachers have en-
tered most enthusiastically into the
work of the campaign and will devote
part of the DAYS services to an eX-
planation of the great humanitarian
work already accomplished and the
great need for continuing the effort.
The campaign will continue for one
week, and the nation is looking to
Delaware to keep the first place in
the movement which she has taken in
all patriotic ana charitable efforts.
