Veteran Dunnack
Heads Augusta Drive
for Starving Riddles

The large contributions made in

especially desirable, as a matter of
civic pride as we'll as of common hu-
manly, to raise a good sum for Au-
gusta's Share.
In consequence plans are maturing
for getting from the charitable people
of Augusta a sum worthy of the city
and in some degree commensurate
with the great need. Guy P. Gannett,
who is acting for Mr.. Hoover here,
has arranged with Rev. Henry M.
Dunnack, State Librarian and veteran
of hundred drives, to get the coop
Grafton of the ministers of all Angus
ia churches to make next Sunday a
Starving Baby Sunday at all Augusta
churches. Mr.. Dunnack has commun-
icated with the ministers of Augusta
and anticipate their. full cooperation.
Mr.. Dunnack will also speak today
at o'clock at the High school to ex-
plain the objects of the campaign to
the pupils and especially to get the
full cooperation of the young ladies
who are to sell tickets for the New
Years Ball for the benefit of the fund.
