Red Cross Donations
Reach Stable Amount

The total Of Red Cross contribu
tons increased to a sizable amount
this week as solicitors began to turn
in what they had received but it was
still a long way from the goal de-
sired.
Mrs. Paul B. Naylor, chairman Of
the Red Cross War Fund drive, turned
over $6O124 to the treasurer this
week making a total of $782.S9 re
ccived thus far in the campaign to
raise $4,000, the county'S quota. Mrs.
Naylor said that much more had been
collected but had not yet been re-
ported by the solicitors. Paul Hyrc,
regional Red Cross representative,
who was in Oakland last week, indi-
Gated that the county had at that time
reached about half it's quota, and be-
fore leaving town he said he had re-
ceVcd word from headquarters that
Maryland had been the first state in
the union to reach it's entire quota
1t was pointed out, however, that
.his did not relieve Garrett county
citizens from their responsibility of
contributing their share, and solicit
tation will continue here until the goal
is reached
