Bristol United War Fund reports final total of 34 518 78
Bristol submits a final United War Fund total of 34 518 78 with chairman Mapes noting two factors in the oversubscription. One sixth of payroll deductions from factories goes to the Red Cross, and prior year advances of about 7000 reduced current local contributions. The campaign raised 30 978 78 locally after adjustments, with projections suggesting Bristol should have reached around 25 000 or more.
