PAGE SIX WSGA Drive Reaches $169 The WSGA Christmas Drive has attained $169 of its $450 goal, Janet Lyons, chairman of the drive, announced yesterday. The drive started Tuesday, December 2, and will continue until Decem ber 15. The drive is conducted through coed living units and by dormi tory presidents, under the chair manship of Janet Lyons. Every girl on campus is to be contacted before the end of the drive. If each coed gives a total of thirty cents to the drive, this year's $450 goal can be easily realized. Only an approximate 37% of the goal has been obtained in over half the period of the length of the drive, and girls not yet contacted are urged to contribute. When the drive first started in 1926 the women of the College donated $105.26 to the American Women's Hospitals. The amount to the same organization in creased in 1928 with a donation of $ll5. In 1938 $132.31 was di vided between the Mifflin County Children's Aid and the Lytle's Addition Nursery School. The 1939 drive brought a total of $196.25 which was divided among the Mifflin Coutny Chil dren's Aid, the American Wom en's Hospitals, and the Estelle Hetzel Emergency Fund. This year's drive is contributing to the same three organizations.
