GOPPERFIELD DOING 'BIT'FDR UPJGLESAM Special to The Tribune. COPPERFTELD, Mune 10. The people of Copperfield believe that they have made the best record of any town in the state in the war savings stamp drive. Before the drive began the quota of Copperfield was fixd at $40,000, which is a little more than ?200 each for every man, woman and child in the town, and this sum already is oversubscribed by more than SlOOn. At the same time the people of the town got together. named committees to take j charge of the drive and went at the patriotic pa-triotic task in earnest. H. E. Aven is chairman of the executive committee, which has had the drive in -charge and he has heen assisted by C. Y, F.uchholz. cashier of tiie Copperfield bank-. Fred Turner. John Byrne and 'Charles Pierce, all of whom are members or the committee. Tli is committee has been given every possible assistance by the people of the town and the work of Jack Steele. J. H. Wilkins, J. H. Coiyer, J. YV. Frear and E. A. Joyce has been of particular value. Then, too, the women of the Copperfield Red Crops unit have done everything In their power to further the work of the committee and their assistance has been felt and appreciated. Mrs. Paul Ackerman is president of the Copperfield unit and to her executive ability much of the crecW for the work of the unit is due. This afternoon Chairman FJ. B. Aven announced that Copperfield had taken more than $-11,000 in war savings stamps to date. "But," he added, "do not get the idpa that we have leached our ouota and ceased work. We have exceeded our quota, with nine days yet to go, and we intend to do everything in our power to still further swell our subscriptions." Copperfield also has made a high record rec-ord in Dibertv bond subscriptions and Red Cross donations. In all these activities the greater part of the foreign population have rendered valuable services, the Greeks havinar named their own committees commit-tees and worked heroically in aid of the various war funds. t
