TIME TO GIVE

''We are still far short of the ex- pected receipts" said Erskine Ramsay, county campaign secretary, but we mean to stay on this job until Jeffef- son has been placed in the list of counties where it belongs. We have the workers, who are making prog ress, but we need the cooperation of the entire city to bring about the de- sired results and aid in the building of the great state memorial which has been proposed. Other counties are so- ing over the top and I feel confident that the people will not allow Jeff ferson to fail ip her duty now. It is the time to give and give generously, is the appeal being made, for the more money the greater tribute we will Le paying to the heroes of our state who served in the army. navy and marine corps during the world war"
