With returns still coming in. the l the American Red Cross is now i somewhat more satisfactory. but the total amount received to date by Chairman John F. Lamb is still well below the goal which he had set. The total today stood at S312.56, and final returns from the Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc, have not yet been made.
 The Plainville branch has receiv- ed 1 s25 sustaining member, S5 contributing members, and 1.9 Sl
 annual members. In addition, the sum of $76.21 was turned in in con-
 tributions, and the Standard Steel has now forwarded s22.S5. mostly in small amounts. This factory expects
 to complete its work this week, and
 it is hoped by MT. Lamb that the
 s312.36 total may be raised to about
 SS75.
