the communities interested has been
enlisted. This work has been under
the direct supervision of the sub-com-
mittee on teams composed of John P.
LeFevre, Chairman, Harry c. Evans,
H. V. Holloway, Norman P. Morris
and James w. Wise wro report the

plans perfected for the campaign
which is to be launched during the
week of January II to 10. Chairman
Woodford said that he had accepted
the craftsmanship for this appeal, not
because he had nothing else to do but
because he believed in it whole heart
edly and as a good citizen, he could
not refuse when the Organization
Committee asked him to head the
movement. Needless to say his lead
ership is not perfunctory but of the
active aggressive type.
Chairman, Arley B. Magee Of the
Initial Gifts Committee is calling his
workers together Immediately to take
steps to get the foundation subscrip-
tions upon which the team workers
later will build the fund. This Com
mittee will probably secure between
one-third and one-half Of the entire
fund from larger subscribers as this
is always necessary in a successful
campaign.
Arrangements are already being
perfected for the daily report meet
ings of the approximately two hun
dred workers that will be organized.
In order to save time, the workers will
meet for supper each evening during
the campaign week at which time re
ports Of their daily solicitation will
be made and marked up on a large
score board that will be displayed near
the corner of State and Loockerman
Streets. These arrangements are in
charge Of A. Bailey Thomas and it is
expected the opening meeting Of the
campaign will be held, as in the first
campaign in the Community Hall Of
the Peoples Church. Thus far about
4OR Of the memorial rooms in the
hospital have been spoken for and it
| is expected that all of them will be
taken before the campaign opens jan
uary II. The following schedule in
dicates the amount which must be
subscribed to name one of these rooms
AZ a memorial, the amount represent
