1944 War FuncKcampaign which open,
ed last week was urged in statements
issued by M'fcyor F. N. Mc(}orkle,
“Kershaw county is asked to con
tribute 114,600 in the 1944 Red Cross
War Fund campaign," tbe atatement
by the public official said. “That is
from every person in the couaty and
because the amount is so small it
seems as though we should be able to
reach our quota long before the drive
ends March 81
“While the Red Cross already has
undergone the greatest expansion In
its entire history, its worldwide pro
gram continues, to grow and to kesp
peace with the armed forces. ^ In re
cent months few days have paaasd
that it did not open a new a«rvloe club
or extend its facilities and personnel
in military hospitals, and at camps,
alrfUIds and naval stations.
“The American people have entrust
ed' the Red Cross with tixe gravest re
sponsibility since its inception. To
discharge that responsibility it Is sn-
sential that the 1944 Red Cross War
Fund be fully subscribed. _
