TIME EXTENDED
FOR CAMPAIGN
FUND ONE WEEK

The time for the conducting OF
the campaign for the Jewish relief
fund has been extended one week,
according to an announcement re-
eeiyed at the local headquarters
from the state office in Champaign.
Reason for the extension of the
time is the rainy weather OF the
week, which has made it difficult
for teams to go forward with the
work of canvasslng the business
and residence districts.
This brings the close of the drive
to Sunday, Nov 9. as the last day,
rather than TO this coming Sunday.
The order to extend the time eff
fects not only the Rock Island dis
trict of the drive, but the entire
state, and will give the workers
plenty Of time to reach OF. pass their
assigned quota.
Work in this district. including
Rock Island and the lower part of
the county, is going forward with
enthusiasm. Many substantial con-
tributions have been received by
the women's teams, working in the
residence districts, and the men,
who are taking charge of the bust
ness district. A more complete
list of mems team captains will
soon be ready. as well as announce
ment OF subscriptions received.

Toys will be higher this year,
too, they say, because skilled labor
