ATHLETICS
RED CROSS OVER TOP
IN MEMBERS BUT FAR
BEHIND IN CASH TOTAL

Additional returns from surround
ing towns and villages attached to
the Augusta Chapter of the Red
Cross. last night, put the city over
the assigned membership quota Of
5000, but left the $4,000 quota for
local relief work. far from attained.
According to figures compiled by
the campaign committee last even
ing, the Augusta district now has
over 1000 members. but the cash col
lected so far is but a few hundred
dollars above that.
If Augusta Red Cross does not get
the $4,000 asked for in this drive, it
means that much of the home ser
vice work and cooperative work with
the city's leading charitable organ
izations, as PLANNED, will have to be
curtailed. Some of those who gave
cheerfully to the Red Cross when
the war was on. have turned the
solicitors down this time with the
argument that the war IS over
But as James Jackson. manager of
the New England District of the Red
Cross pointed out in his speech here
recently, the war is not over, even
when peace is ratified.
The Red Cross, in particular, has a
huge task to complete, not only in
Europe where the Governments vast
medical supplies have been turned
over for distribution and use by the
Red Cross, but right here in Amer
ica-and Augusta. The men and wo-
men who gave freely to help our
boys in the service. were expected to
give generously to help local people
in desperate need Of aid, who apply
to the Augusta Chapter.
Miss Ann Bibber. head Of the
Home Service Bureau here can easily
show proofs right in her office re-
cords that there are still many ex-
service men who need the sort of
aid that only the Red Cross will give
them. The Red Cross is pledged to
look after them and their families
until they areo nee more able to
look after themselves. The need for
money is not yet past: 1t will simply
be applied locally instead OF in
France wherever our boys were
when they needed it in war.
The newly organized flying
squadron" got a running start yes
terday and a number Of the solicitors
succeeded in getting some fairly sub
stantiai subscriptions from citizens
who had misunderstood the appeal
of the Red Cross and believed they
were simply asked to take dollar
memberships. When they were ac-
quainted with the facts and told that
Augusta was sadly behind in her
drive for $4,000 for local work.
most Of them promptly dug out a
wallet or checkbook and gave.
Due to the fact that many of the
flying squadron members were not
heard from last night, the complete
returns of the organization were
withheld until Monday morning.
Returns from outlying sections
brought the campaign up as fol-
lows last night:

although none Of her men finished
first, Maine won the annual State
intercollegiate Cross Country Run
in Waterville yesterday afternoon.

Bates, Bowdoin. and Colby. A Bates
man. r. B. Buker, was the first to
finish. but Maine came across with
the victory by having men finish in
second, fourth. fifth, sixth, and tenth
places respectively. The finish Of the
first two men was close. Until
the last $50 yards Buker and Ray.
mond Of Maine were neck and neck,
but then Buker pulled away from his
opponent. who was pretty well all
IN. Raymond had no difficulty in
finishing second, however, as Good
win. whom many had considered the
best bet for first. was a rather bad
third. After Goodwin finished, three
Maine men came trailing in for the
next three positions. Colby with an
entirely inexperienced team did not
make as good an appearance as the
other colleges, their first man to
finish however. Costley, was among
the best. coming in for seventh
place easily. He was followed by
two Bates men. Levine and r. s.
Buker in eigth and ninth positions.
The other men for the most part
trailed pretty tar in the rear.
Each college started seven men.
and the first i've to finish for each
team counted in the final accounting.
