THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
Exeter Has Raised Over $2,000
To date the campaign does not
measure up to an all-out war effort.
In fact, it would appear that at the
present rate subscriptions will not
meet the objective that has been
set for Exeter and District. This ob
jective was set for <us, not by us. It
is $i8i,000.00, of which .seventy per
sent is to be sent to the Toronto
headquarters for general Red Cross
work, parcels for prisoners in for
eign camps, etc.,6 while thirty per
cent is retained here for the pur
chase of wool and other material for
the women to work with. This •
branch pays out about $450.00 a
month for materials.
It will be seen that our subscrip
tions should be greatly increased
