 Theater Drive to Continue
 It has been decided to continue the Red Cross War Fund drive in the Cameo theater for four more days. The drive in the theater has been most successful and has, to date, exceeded the record break ing sum contributed in the theater for the 1944 Red Cross War Fund drive.
 Lester w. Atwood, chairman of the local campaign has announced in connection with the drive that Sullivan's Pharmacy, and the Post Office drug store will receive con- tribution to the War fund from those persons who find 1t con- venient to give to the drive at either of these places. This decision was made especially for the convenience of persons who may not have been contacted personally by canvassers. It is sometimes very difficult for canvasser to make this personal contact due to conflicting work hours or transportation difficulties.
