Business Men
Urged To Give
For Polio Drive

'Mnoroe county business
firms and professional men are
asked to make liberal contribu-
tions to the annual March of
Dimes. Mrs. Wilhelmina G.. Har-
vey, drive chairman, said. today
IF they work and cooperate .as
much as the school children of
Key West. there will be no diff
Guilty in reaching our goal"
Mrs. Harvey continued.
"A goal of $4,000 was set for
Monroe County, and we are very
far away from this goal as we
have not quite $4,000 and the
campaign has only five more
days to CO." continued the chair
man. "A $4,000 goal is very small
by comparison with the money
spent by the local chapter of the
National Foundation in Key West
as $4,000 was sent here by the
National Foundation to supple
ment the few thousand dollars
the local chapter had"
Mrs. Harvey is anticipating
that all business houses and pro-
fessional men will make their
contributions themselves and
strive for a 100 per cent partici-
patton among their employees.
The Chairman appeals to
everyone to make their contribu-
tions now so that they will not
feel later on in the year that
they gave too little too late, for
Thursday. January 30, l947, the
drive will be closed

JERUSALEM. Jan. 28.-The
mayor of Tel-Aviv today called
on the Jewish terrorists to re-
lease the two British officers, one
