Remember, this campaign combines into one, the drives by individual organizations as heretofore made. II is the only drive to be made for these agencies for a .year. Therefore, the amounts we have been accustomed to giving in the past to the individual organizations will noi be enough. The amount must be multiplied several umes. Kach family should give several dollars. Solicitations will be made at the homes. Please discuss and determine immediately the amount your family should give. When the Henry County War Chest solicitor calls at your home, have the money or check ready to give. Volunteer workers are generously devoting their time to carry the drive into every home in the county and it should not be necessary for them to make more than one call at each residence. Every effort will be made to complete the drive and have the quota raised within a week. The cooperation of everyone will be needed it this goal is to be achieved.
