Show WAR FUND DRIVE OPENS TUESDAY Cache County's Goal Set at $14,500 Final plans were laid for Cache county's part in the nation-wide United War Fund Drive last evening ev-ening when community leaders and workers from all parts of the county met at the Logan chamber of commerce to receive last minute instructions and working supplies. The drive is set to open In Cache county next Tuesday at which time workers will begin a house-to-house canvass to raise the $14,500 quota assigned to Cache county. Thursday's meeting was directed direct-ed by Dr. W. W. Richards, chair- man of the Cache County War Chest, the organization legally established es-tablished in the county to represent rep-resent the National War Fund. In his remarks to the assembled workers, Dr. Richards outlined the aims and purposes of the United War Fund, pointing out that it is the sole agency authorized au-thorized to solicit funds for some twenty government approved relief re-lief groups, including USO, United Unit-ed Seamen's Service, War Prisoners Pris-oners Aid, Russian Relief, United China Relief, and many others. Warning against any slackening of effort on the home front, he stressed the fact that, with victory vic-tory within our grasp, the need for aid to our service men, fighting fight-ing allies, and the people of the liberated countries is greater than ever before. Corrsponding to this increased need, the national quota has been doubled over the 1943 figure, he said, although the amount assigned to Cache county coun-ty is but $1000' higher than last year. "In view of the fact that Cache county has made an enviable en-viable record in all the war bond drives and other ""money-raising campaigns necessitated by America's Amer-ica's mighty war effort," Dr. Richards said, "we have every reason to anticipate success in the coming drive. We ask the citizens citi-zens of Cace county to receive our volunteer workers hospitably and to give generously. The need is great." |
