Fund Chairman Jack Haile
announced this week as the
drive reached itie half-way
mark.
Although a complete report had
not yet been received from all
the workers, it was evident that
contributions would have to in
crease if the drive quota of $3,234
was to be reached. Last year's nm
Cross quota, although slightly less
than 4hat set for this year, was
met and exceeded.
“It is going to take continued
and increased effort on the part
of all the workers and more wil
lingness to give on the part of
all of Kershaw county’s citizens
if we make the drive a success,”
Mr. Haile said. ,
\ The Red Cross campaign is
conducted annually during the
month of March, throughout the
nation. Money raised goes for
disaster relief, emergencies, re
