Local Red Cross Branch Votes to Give

Be $500.
Again Brattleboro has exceeded her
minimum quota of $3,623 for the re-
ief of the suffering thousands in the
near East. The disbursing committee
Of the War Chest association voted
$4,000 toward the amount asked of the
town, the committee feeling that this
amount was Brattleboro's just share of
the county quota as figured on a grand
list basis.
In addition to the appropriation
from the War Chest association the
local Red Cross branch has voted to
appropriate $1,000. Offerings already
taken in the Sunday schools of various
churches amount to 5000, and offerings
IRE TO be taken in other Sunday schools,
which will bring the total amount from
Brattleboro up to about $500. This
leaves a minimum expected from the
entire county of approximately $3.152
and maximum of approximately 81
900. Rockingham is asked to furnish
I maximum of 5000, which the com.
nittee thinks is very low as compared
with Brattleboro's quota.
Chairmen in the various towns in
the county have organized for the
work and are taking hold to raise the
funds with an excellent spirit, feeling
that the quotas of the smaller towns
are reasonable and that every towr
| should do its share toward the state :.
