A TATOL OF <218,000 HAS BEEN THRILLING PHASES OF THE RAISED- WITH OSS PEOPLE GREAT CONFLICT SHOWN IN SUBSCRIBING. “AMERICA'S ANSWER." Stripped of all Prills and furbelows the speech of Hon.. Chas. B. Crisp Fri day afternoon Was a direct, straight- from-the-shoulder shot designed to stir the blood of every red-blooded American in his presence. The audi ence that greeted the speaker was comparatively small, smaller 'than it should have been compared to the large number of people who were as sembled in town and remained out side looking for the. promised squad ron of planes that never came. It was indeed a misfortune that any should have counted the flying of a few airplanes of more importance than the message of a man who is a part of the vital human machinery of i message which everyone need ed to hear and particularly those who were too indifferent to be present The address was a statement of facts, a strong, appeal to the reason and intelligence, of his hearers for their unfailing support of the govern ment in the prosecution bf war. Mr. Crisp was given an attentive and ap preciative hearing by those present Before long Dooly is to be given the chance to contribute to a fund which will be used for a punrpose so mag nificent that every individual will count it a privilege to have a part in swelling this fund to even a more enormous proportion than that which has been designated by those sponsor ing the campaign. The proposed drive will be known as the United War Work Drive and the funds cured are to be used for the social moral and spiritual welfare of our men overseas and in'the camps. Already the organization for the conduct of this drive in Dooly has been formed and the present indica tions point to a most successful cam paign. The committee personnel follows: R. W.
