RED CROSS TOTAL &,92t
Daily Report Shows S2H7 Taken in -Crona Says 5000 Member Quota
 Does Not Mean 5000.

Almost s5.O0O has been raised In the Red Cross roll call to date, ac- cording to Treasurer Leon A.. Sprague in today's report, which is given below.
 New Britain's quota is 5000 mem- bers but not necessarily s6,000 ac- cording to a statement made by Peter Crona. Red Cross chairman, today. When national headquarters asked Mr. Crona to guarantee 7,500 members here he accepted a quota of 5000. This he says does not liimt the money expected to $5,000. since many members give more than $l for a membership.
 A total of s227 was added to the Red Cross fund today. The total yesterday was S4,694.17, making the fund today $4,921.177. The amounts received today were as follows: Rev Lucyan Bojnowski, $34: Eastern Malleable Iron Works, s7; Fafnir Bearing Co.,. s165, and mail to the treasurer s21.
