Canton's Red Cross drive nears final push to meet quota
Canton's $70,000 Red Cross fund drive enters a cleanup phase as divisions mobilize to raise the remaining $7,336. Saturday tabulations show $62,663 on hand, with the Junior Red Cross contributing a record 1359.26 through schoolroom collections. Industrial and merchants divisions pledge heavy effort, churches promise significant sums, and a mop up by the women’s division is planned. Donations continue at banks, loan offices, gas and power companies, and a public square booth, with no house to house solicitation.
