'..make good" was evidenced BY their
ready response to the plea for pledges.
The La Feria quota was SlS,500. Several
thousand Of this amount had been raised
previously, but at the meeting they ex-
pressed the determination 10 fill the quo
ta-and they did.
This does not signify that Ia Fera is
now out of the drive. The workers of that
district are not Of that caIibre. 4 mes
sage received this morning from that
place states: LA Fera has gone over the
top. but we are still in the drive

also present TO provide the music, and
helped greatly in arou>ing enthusiasm.
When the call for pledges came the re-
sponse was prompt, Indicating that the
people of the La Feria district were will
inc to do their part without unnecessary
waste of time.

the fact shat there will be no public funds
Forthcoming on this occasion they have
