worth
Mrs. Harriet K. Giles, county
chairman for the sale of Christmas
seals for the Public Health associ-
alton, is making an effective cam
paign to put Hancock county in the
first line. Governor Milliken has &C
cepted friendly challenge from the
governor of West Virginia as to
which state will show the larger in
crease over last year in the sale of
the seals. He in turn appeals to the
counties, and Mrs. Giles appeals to
the people of the county to put Maine
not only ahead of West Virginia, but
among the leading states. Mrs.
Giles says the women are taking
hold of the work ably throughout the
county, though returns from the
, county towns are not being made I'M
til the campaign closes. In Ellis
worth something like SIS worth of
the seals has been sold, but this
should be doubled within the coming
week. The people are responding
generously, recognizing the worthi-
ness of the cause. In addition to the
seals, the S. health bonds are being
! sold. In Ellsworth Congressman
Peters is so far the largest purchaser
| of health bonds, H. H. Higgins is the
largest purchaser of seals, and the
credit for the largest number of
sales of seals is so far held by Miss
Erva Giles.
