Centerville Meeting

The Republican campaign moved
its activities to Centerville Monday
night and in spite Of the heavy rain
an unusually large turnout greeted
the speakers and their party who
came out from Wilmington by motor.
Senator DUPONT presided at this
meeting and in the course of his
opening remarks said: "Let us make
our support of the Administration the
keynote of the campaign and on the
day of election lay aside any differ
ences and solidly support the whole
Republican ticket"
There was an unmistakable atmos-
phere Of good feeling throughout the
evening and many present said it re-
sembled closely the old time town or
hundred" meetings of years gone by.
Formality gave way rapidly to the
cordiality which exists only among
people bound by common cause. The
singing, led by William P. White,
was exceptionally good and before
the meeting closed Senator DUPONT
was discovered down in the middle of

Newark and University Pledge
$22,455.85 To Memorial Library
Three Day Campaign Surpasses All Expectations
Students and Faculty Reach 100 Per Cent
NEWARK CAME THROUGH!

When the call came for funds for
the State War Memorial Library,
Newark and the University were the
center Of all eyes. What were they
going to do? How much actual
money were they going to raise to-
wards the movement? The whole
State has been watching this little
town throughout the drive. For once
we may say a political touch was
given the campaign, in that which
ever way Newark went the State
would follow. If this be true the new
Library is certainty. The Town and
University pledged themselves to this
Memorial to the soldier dead to the
amount of $22,455.S5 in less than
three days. Is there any need of
further proof?
The leaders of the local drive freely
admitted it to be "cold" proposition,
and prepared for hard driving cam
paign. Prof. Clarence A. Short,
chairman for the town of Newark
was one man who believed sincerely
that she would come up to the mark
and respond. Others were more skep-
tical. However, the drive is over and
we have right to be justly proud of
this small community.
Those who did such splendid serv-
ice on the various teams deserve un-
limited praise. Led by Chairman
Short they went about their work de-
terminedly as we'll as cheerfully, and
never relaxed an instant until they
turned in their final reports. They
dropped everything for three days
and gladly gave their whole efforts to
this great cause, and they can GER
tainly feel the joy which comes after
a great undertaking has been carried
through to a glorious finish.
AS for the residents of Newark and
vicinity, they upheld the heritage of
the little State (which never forgets,
and the manner in which they re-
sponded to the call left nothing to be
desired. Of their wealth they gave
all they could spare. Some gave hun
dreds of dollars, others one or two
Is there any difference? Absolutely
not. The man who dug into his, little
store of wealth and gave of it know
ing that something must be sacrificed
in the giving thereof, there is the mar
who will know the real joy of Civ
ing, and is the man to whom the cam.
paign leaders tender their utmost
gratitude.

There is little use in pointing out
the great advantages Of a hospital.
They are indispensable units in the
progress of any group or class OF
people. The Homeopathic Hospital
undertakes to provide care and treat
ment for all regardless of means,
race or creed. The city Of Whining
ton is at least so per cent below
standard in the matter of beds in re-
lation to population. In round num-
bers it is city of 100000 souls, and
it can provide less than three beds
for each 1000 population. In addition,
the authorities must take care of
hundreds of cases sent in from sur
rounding country. Something must
be done to relieve this congested con-
dition. Consequently this appeal is
being sent out to the people OF this
community to help in whatever way
they can. 1t is worthy cause, and
Newark never fails In it's duty.

HOSPITAL DRIVE
UNDER WAY
Newark Team Organized for
Aid to Worthy Cause
FACTS AND FIGURES

The drive for S25O,OOO for the
Homeopathic Hospital of Wilmington
officially opened Monday last at
mass meeting in Wilmington and will
continue the balance of this week.
Newark has been asked to do it's bit
toward this cause and at this writing
is responding nobly.
Those in charge of the local cam
paign wish to state that no house to
house canvass will be attempted.
They will concentrate their efforts in
seeing as many people as possible in
the short period, but feel that on the
heels of the recent Library Drive, any
attempt to make a thorough canvass
of the town would be entirely wrong.
There are many people who are great
! " interested in the work of this
hospital and of the alarming need for
money to keep up the good work.
They may not be seen personally by
any member of the Newark team but
it is sincerely hoped that they may
overlook this fact and send their con-
tribution pledge in to any of the men,
bers listed below.
The committee as announced on
Tuesday comprises the following
workers: J. P. Wright, Captain; Mrs.
Walt H. Steel, Mrs. J. A. Mckelvey,
Mrs. w. A. Layfield, Mrs. John Pill
ing, Mr.. Norris N. Wright, Mr..
Alonzo Messick, Mrs. F. M. X.
Foster, Mrs. w. Frank Wilson, Mrs.
w. J. McAvoy, Miss Grace Layfield,
Mr.. C. w. Strahorn, Mr.. George W.
Rhodes and Mr.. James c. Hastings.
The money so pledged, it was an
nounced, is payable in six semi-an-
nual payments, the first being due
on November Is. Any other informa-
ton as to the procedure along this
line may be had from any one Of the
above committee.

About the Drive

The Homeopathic Hospital Asso-
citation of Delaware is calling for
assistance, not for extravagant i'm
provements, or for publicity purposes
but because it is a proven fact that it
is greatly handicapped in the facili-
ties for the treatment Of the sick and
injured of Wilmington and vicinity.
Without the interest and support OF
the public at large, no hospital can
provide service for all in its COM
munity. And the Wilmington Hos
pital is no exception.
