WAR FUND IS
NOW $1,000
UNDER GOAL,
Valley County Citizens So Far
Contribute $4,000
In Campaign

so far, the response to the Valley
county War Chest drive has been the
best ever, but the goal has not yet
been reached and many who are
able to do so have not yet respond
ed A statement issued today by
War Chest directors declares.
More than $4,000 has been con-
tributed by $50 patriotic citizens, an
average of $3.50 each. These figures
speak in highest terms for those who
have responded, but what about the
1000 who have turned a deaf ear?
About 300 who helped this war eff
fort last year have not responded
this year, yet the need is greater
than ever If they would respond, the
quota would be made.
Even so, that would show that
only one-third of the citizens of
Valley county are interested enough
in this patriotic effort to make a
contribution. This might look to
Hitler as if two-thirds of our citiz-
ems do not give a dime for the U.S.O.
or for the relief of countries he has
overrun. We do not believe delin-
quents have this attitude at all, but
that they have overlooked or put
off their good intentions"
The statement points out that
these are only figures, after all"
and appeals Ito all citizens in the
county who have not responded to
the needs to make their contribu-
tions this week. If you did not get
a letter Of have no bank account,
any business place in the county will
receive your contributions and
forward it to the Chest. Do it now
and clean up this obligation to our
men,"
Valley county has never yet failed
to make a quota of any kind for the
war effort. 1t is getting late in the
game; let's score now
