THE SEVEN IN ONE
CAMPAIGN IS COMING
MONEY TO co FOR SOLDIERS
CARE AND COMFORT.
Plan is to Take Care of All Philan-
thropic Agencies BY One
United Subscription.

The United War Work Campaign is
at hand. That is, it will be on in
Genesee County within the next ten
days. The Y. M. C. A., the National
Catholic War Council, X. of c., the
Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation
Army, the American Library Associa-
ton, the War Camp Community Ser
vice and the Y. w. C. A. will partici-
pate in the funds that are secured.
The plan of providing for all of these
agencies at one time will save the la
Dor of several separate campaigns
and will thus be a relief to the peo-
pie and afford them a chance to dem
onstrate their patriotic generosity in
the easiest possible manner.
The campaign will be voluntary, as
was the last Liberty Loan Campaign,
and it is the hope of the local War
Board that Vienna will be able to an
nounce that she has gone "Over the
Top" at the close of the day the sub
scriptions are taken.
Vienna's quota is $2,308.12 and
the burden, or rather the responsible
ity, is expected to be borne pro-rata
according to the individual ability Of
the citizens of the township. The
money will be divided, according to
an equitable rule devised by the gov
ernment, among the several societies
mentioned above.
A meeting for the purpose of or
ganization for this drive will be held
at the council room in Clio next
Tuesday evening, at which time it is
hoped to have large representation
from every school district in the
township. Don't wait for a special
invitation; this is as much your af-
fair as it is that of any one else.
Just make it point to attend and
with concerted effort we can make
light work of big undertaking.
Everybody ought to feel like giving
now when we may know that if we
do our part victorious ending of the
war is not a great way off.
