HOME EDITIOI THIRD OF CITY'S WAR FUND MUST YET BE RAISED $51,000 of SIBO,OOO Quota to Be Met in Home Drive MANY BLOCKS GOING 100% Whole Town Hopes to Be Painted Red Soon Harrisburgers must contribute more than SOI,OOO to the United War Work Fund before to-morrow even ing if the campaign is to be success ful in the city. The schedule of the executive committee calls for a jubi lation meeting in the t'hestnjit street auditorium to-morrow even ing at S o'clock, at which ward workers, industrial canvassers, and all other workers of the campaign organization will celebrate the suc cessful termination of the major part of the drive. The amount subscribed until 10 o'clock this morning was $128,765. This amount was computed from ward percentages which members of the campaign committee figured this morning, it includes the industrial homes, traternal and special contri butions. I.ook to Homes The major portion of the $51,235 still unsubscribed must be raised by the home workers this afternoon add to-morrow. These homes work ers are canvassing every part of the city in an effort to secure a con tribution from every house. In the theantlme, ward leaders and canvassers are working at high pitch to make every precinct and every ward on the huge courthouse map, and on the maps throughout the city, as red as possible. Dozens of city blocks have responded by 100 per cent, contrtbuti ns. and the maps are turning red under the onslaughts of the hundreds of canvassers. Ward workers report considerable zest in the efforts of many citizens to make their blocks red on the map by personally appealing to their neighbors to respond readily to the canvassers when they make their call Campaign workers at headquar ters are greatly pleased with the re sponse of a large number of persons, who have personally called at head quarters and made contributions without waiting to be solicited by the workers. l*l:m F'or Jubilee Paul Johnston at headquarters, emphasized the need of large per sonal subscriptions from household ers if the ward quotas are to be raised. With only a little more than 24 hours to go. and many thousands to lie raised in the city, the cam paign officials realize the need of generous subscriptions to pull the city over the mark.
