furnishing entertainment for the camp
near Richmond, by giving dances and
socials.
In the first call for money that was
made no general canvass was made,
but all members were solicited and

the country as 81 per member, was
easily reached here

A drive for $500 was put on from
May to May IL in 1918. A great
deal of the work of this call for funds
was done by correspondence, letters
being written to those who were con-
sidered able to contribute and liberal
returns were received, according to
reports of that time. A total OF $1,000
was raised.

paign director and managed the de-
tails of the work. Leo Zeyen was
treasurer of the fund. Rev. Father A.
B. Duffy, was chairman OF the field
committee, and Rev. Clement Zen,
chairman of publicity.

Sudden End of War Interfered
With United War Work Campaign

One of the most strenuous cam
paigns put on in Wayne county and
Richmond was that in connection
with the United War Work cam
paign for $100,000,000. To Wayne
county was assigned quota of $780,
900 which was divided up among the
different townships of the county and
Richmond. Richmond's share was
placed at S51,346, and Wayne town
ship at $9,625.
A total of approximately $88,000 was
raised. Richmond and Wayne town
ship raising their quota with a great
deal of difficulty, as did several other
townships. A few were unable to
raise their amounts.
The close of the war, on Nov. II,
was blow to the plans of the United
Campaign workers, the general pub
lie having some difficulty in compre-
hending that it would require consid-
cradle time to demobilize the army
and that supplies contracted for by
the army and navy had to be paid for.
The drive began on Monday. Nov. H.,
and was to have continued for one
week, but due to the fact that the
amount had not been raised when the
week was up, the time was extended
for three days longer.
