RED CROSS CAMPAIGN I
GETS GOOD START
Why we should ]leave out ,of the
list of Iasi; week the team that had,
the greatest proportionate gain of
the .previous campaign, we'll never
know -so we set them down here:
Thos, Robinson, John McCloy, Rod-.
dy McLean, Will Finnigan. Egmond-
ville is their habitat.
Walton canvassers also were not
included but this was due to the ice
storm breaking down all the tele-
phone lines out that way. ; Here is
the list sent in by the convener,
Walter Broadfoot: G. McTaggart,
N. Schade, G. McGavin, L. Stewart,
G. Taylor, J. Watson, Bert Ander-
son, H. Craig, A. McNichol, G.
McArthur, G. McCallum, H. Bolger,
J. Bryans, W. Bennett, 0, Ritchie,
J. McDonald, A. McDonald.
First calls have put the canvassers
in a sufficiently optimistic mood to
give the ole] V sign when asked
about the $7,000 objective. "Most
cordial yet" is theist answer.Next
week we shall try to have some of •
these subdivision percentages for
you. In the meantime "Let us keep
the Red Cross up there beside our
boys."
