The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-24

canvas, to the schools, to the busi- ness establishments and to all those who planned, advertised, pushed folloWed-up and finally have suc- ceeded beyond expectations. We are particularly grateful to thousands of you who gave up money for this grand cause.
 In this Red Cross Chapter of ours we have an intense interest both in the Chapter as a whole and in our own individual sections although our money goes to one treasurer for redistribution. Each division namely, Bethlehem, Oakville and Watertown, has been very definitely after what they believe rightly be- longs to them and has been good naturedly insistent that they re- ceive proper credit. Our Waterbury friends thought they were entitled to at least 8 share of the money given my our people working in Waterbury plants but our plan, al- though it did not work out as well as we would like, was to acquire the money given by our people, no matter where they worked, and we, in turn, gave money collected in our territory, from people working here but living outside, to the towns which they claimed as home.
 We extend our special thanks and congratulations to Lester w. At wood, general chairman of our drive and to Ralph D, Clinton and Will liam R. Smith, who respectively managed the campaigns for Oak vile and Bethlehem.
 We will be glad to receive con- structive criticisms of the manage ment of the campaign from any source. Such criticism and suggest tions may help us definitely in planning even a better campaign next year"
