Salem Falling Down 0oIts
United War Fund Quota

A serious problem is confronting the
committee in charge of the United Wal
Fund drive and a meeting was held this
afternoon to discuss the rather alarm,
ing situation.
With a quota of $4,000 for the city
the committee with its workers have
been able SO far to secure pledges fol-
only a little more than $4,000.
There seems to be a general lack OF
interest and enthusiasm in the cause
represented by the United Wan Fund
workers. They report that men and
women who have heretofore always re.
sponded to the call, are now refusing to
give anything whatever TO the cause
that all feel is of such vital importance,
now that the boys are not busy fight,
ing.
W. l. Staley, county chairman for the
United War Fund drive, reports that
the country districts are giving cheer.
fully their full quota. Reports from the
small towns in the county indicate a
disposition to give and raise the quotas
required.
just what action will be taken to
arouse Salem to the necessity Of secur-
ing its quota, has not been announced
but it is felt that something must be
done.
