linda Mae Phillips of the Cumber-

ceased; Madge Nichols, McConnels-
vile; John Robinson, Sarahsville;
Rachel Robinson, Fredericksdale;

Canton, and Mrs. Jerry Bird, Maple
Heights.
The two great great grandchildren
are Gary Brady, five year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Brady, Dover;
Sheryl Dawn Brady, one and half
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Brady, also of Dover. A
strange coincidence here is that Sis
ters married brothers.
Having a total of 98 grandchil-
dren, once and twice removed
doesn't phase Mrs. Robinson one bit.
She believes in large families and
thinks that Noble county is as good
a place as any to raise them.
The Journal joins with her large
family and wide legion of friends in
extending congratulations to this
lady who has seen four wars come
and go, and lived under more presi-
dents than the average person.

Early Red Cross
Reports Indicate
Successful Drive
Strip Mining Units
Will Be Solicited
To Aid Local Fund

Early reports during the current
Red Cross fund raising campaign in
Noble county are very encouraging,
according to Fund Chairman Mrs.
Lois Jennings, who is doing an ex-
cellent job in the 1948 drive.
Reports, although not completed,
have already been received from
Center and Jackson townships. The
volunteer workers in these two dis
tricts are doing an exemplary Job,
leading the way for others in the
remainder of this county. The quota
it $4,000.
Mrs H. J. Startzman has volun-
teered her services each afternoon
during the drive and will be located
in the office at the courthouse.
All funds raised in this campaign
may be left at the Red Cross office
anytime during the day.
Early reports also indicate that
Caldwell residents are responding to
the drive and giving generously.
Robert Robey heads the drive here.
The fund chairman said today that
she was eager to have all postcards
returned by her home division chair
men and township workers. Failure
to mail these cards only holds up
the campaign and contacts with
workers.
Mrs. Jennings also pointed out the
advisability of families discussing
the amounts of their contributions
and having it ready when the volun-
teer workers knock at your door.
Communications are being sent to
all organizations, including lodges,
churches and others for their con-
tributions. All strip mining organ
lzations will receive letters asking
to aid in the campaign.
The campaign will continue
through the remainder of this
month.
