''Over the top in fOrty.eight hours"
That is the slogan under which Sa-
lem's veteran war-fund workers will
20 forward on Monday morning next in
the second Red Cross War Fund cam
palgu.
The quota to be raised in Marion
county is 100000 and in Polk county
$1,000, these two counties being COM
bined in the drive as they are under
The jurisdiction Of Willamette chapter
All arrangements preliminary to be-
ginning tho big drive on Monday are
practically complete. All territory en-
braced by the two counties has been
carefully distTicted and ably manned,
thanks to the zeal and leadership de-
veloped IN the several similar campaigns
Of the recent Iast.
The canlpa gn will be preceded by a
special meeting for drive workers of
every capacity at the First Methodist
church, Salem, at 5 p. m. tomorrow. The
Importance of This meeting for workers
cannot be oS or estimated and absence
il equivalent to desertion or sleeping on
duty. The penalties for these offenses
arc will known and executive cien.ohcy
alone will mltigate the sentence.
Noon lLuehoons will be provided on
Monday and Tuesday as in former
drives and will be given at the First
Methodist church.
One hundred million dollars is asked
from the nation in this drive 5000, 900 of
which is allotted to Oregon. Portland
will raise $3.50 900 and the state outside
of Portland $350,000
1t is the ambitious determination Of
local drive leaders, headed by Chairman
Kay and Manager Gingrich, to put Mar
AZ hours, thus conserving for other val
liable purposes the remaining two
thirds Of the time officially allotted.
Both the honor of such an achievement
and the value of the time thus to be
saved throughout the field covering two
counties, constitute q mighty incentive
TO such a laudable enueavoi.
To achieve such a result depends upon
O very simple pledge each and every in
dividual is expected to take and act
upon without fail, as follows:
81 shall personally see to it that my
contribution to the Red Cross War Fund
is made in less than forty-eight hours
from 8 O'Clock, a. m, Monday May 20,
l918."
Pledges are payable in four equal
monthly payments beginning July l OF
in cash.
The local committee is meeting daily
and oftener when necessary and much
work of a preliminary nature is being
done that will contribute largely to the
success and enthusiasm Of the campaign
Workers are calling up to volunteer
for service and asking to be assigned
specific duties.
High school girls, Mildred Reed, Ger
tie Witzel, Cara Bu~rtonstein, Alice
Chung, Ruby WEIGH and Anna Ward
will load Red Cross cartridges in the
shape of workers envelopes this after
noon at drive headquarters.
