Final push to close Red Cross drive in Coman County
Final efforts to complete Coman county's 1948 Red Cross fund drive continued as Sterling workers were praised for contributing £150 to reach the goal. Frank Kitchens announced Sterling as the first county town to go over the top, with £150 raised and $47.15 by Gerling school chair Fiord Hubbard and £102.85 by Mrs. Oscar Jacobi. The county campaign lagged three weeks past closing, nearing £21,500. Fort Sill's drive totaled $787.55 as the nationwide campaign seeks $75 million to replenish disaster relief funds. Contributions may be sent to the Red Cross chapter house at 501 A.
