Lincoln County,
Over The Top
In Red Cross
Local Solicitation ISa
Success, Says Mrs. H. S.
Hepner, Co. Chairman
LIBBY AND MARYLAND
GIVE OVER 100000

The people of south Lincoln
county have responded so gener-
ously to the 194e Red Cross Fund
Drive that the local chapter is far
over its quota of $85O.0O. Up to
Tuesday night Libby and Warland
had contributed Sl,034.55, reports
Mrs. n. S. Hepner, Libby chairman
OF the Fund Drive. Troy had agreed
to assume One-fourth of the quota
and as this is written, a report
from that district has not yet been
received. It is therefore evident
that when the Troy report is in,
the quota will be exceeded by sew
eral hundred dollars.
Solicitation for the Red Cross
was carried on locally this year
entirely by letter and the response
has been most gratifying.
The fine response TO the 1916
drive indicates again that the
American Red Cross is held in high
esteem by the people of the nation.
Therefore, the. following item, re-
leased from Washington, D. c., holds
much of interest to everyone It
tells of Red Cross workers who
were killed in performance of duty
during World War II, and follows:
Seventy-four American Red Cross
workers lost their lives overseas

Ian decorations in the second World |
