Hartzell appeals for Red Cross gifts in Adams County
Crosby N. Hartzell finance chairman for the Adams County Red Cross urges residents who have not donated in the 1957 drive to send contributions directly to the Red Cross office on Baltimore Street. Only $10,000 of the $17,000 goal has been raised, and unreported solicitors are asked to turn in funds. If the goal isn’t met, water safety and other services may be curtailed.
