tCry-S25,5 ,500-the El Centro chap

Thursday will, along with all chap
ters in the nation, launch its 1945
. war fund campaign.
w. II. Tyler Jr is chairman of the
drive and has completed all ar
rangementS for the campaign, vari-
Gus committee chairmen being
ready to start work Thursday morn
ing.
Since all of us are busy people,
giving our time to the drive, it will
be impossible for us to solicit every
individual in the city personally"
Tyler said. IF you are not ap-
preached by one of the workers IN
the campaign, will you help us out
by mailing your contribution di-
rectly to the chapter headquarters,
120 North Fifth street. Ell Centre?
Checks should be made payable to
the American Red Cross.
EVERYONE MUST SHARE
Those who have boys overseas
do not need to be urged TO contrib
ute, for they know the good work
the Red Cross is doing for our fight
ing men. 1t is up to all of us to see
that these boys have all the help
which the Red Cross can give them
by making our contributions as
large as possible.
Our budget is some S2500 larger
this year due to the fact that the
unexpected counter attacks by the
Germans have prolonged the war,
making the money needed to carry
on the overseas work of the Red
Cross considerably larger than was
estimated in the fall when the end
CT the European war seemed to be
in sight"
Tyler explained that tie Ell Gen.
tro chapter includes the Imperial
and Holtville branches, and that OF
the total S25,500, Imperial has
agreed to raise 1926 and Hcltville,
