set out to raise 500 or more and
Plains has informed him he may count
on at least $500 or more from the old

from Bethel and Pleasant Grove
communities, as well as others in the
county, in which organization has not

The drive in Americas Thursday

club having taken the responsibility
for the business section. Further de-
tails on the drive in Americas with
