The managers of the campaign an
preciate most keenly that in raising
the top to 100000, they have taken
the bit in their teeth, and it is going
to be the hardest kind of a struggle
to put it through. Every subscrip-
ton possible was turned in at yes

the corporations have done all and
more than was expected of them. To
raise $40 900 more is going to be a
large task as the great bulk of it will
have to be done in small amounts.
TO collect 10000 in SIS, $40, S25
and $50 amounts is going to require,
after what has already been raised,
the tallest kind of hustling on the
part of every Red Cross worker and
it is going to be done. Every dollar
of it is needed for the boys over
there, and New Britain is going to
give it.
