VOL. XLIV.
Active Work Begun for
United War Work Fund.
“The organization of the county
•forces for the big drive to raise
our quota of the United War Work
Fund of $170,500,000 to brighten
the lives of our boys who are
fighting, is now practically per
fected and I anticipate we will go
over the top in great shape.”
This is the view of Rev. J. M. Gil
more, chairman of the United War
Work Campaign Committees for
this county. He has been asked
many questions, however, indicat
ing that everybody does not fully
understand what the United War
Work Fund is.
“The United War Work Fund
is being raised at the reguest of
President Wilson and the funds
will.be disbursed under the super
vision of the War Department,”
he said. “It is to be expended
thru channels with which every
one is already familiar, though
they may hot recognize these
agencies under the name of
United War Work. The fund of
this name is to be used in the
work of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W.
C. A., the National Catholic War
Council, or Knights of Columbus,
the Jewish Welfare Board, The
War Camp Community Service,
the American Library Association
and the Salvation Army. These
organizations have been officially
recognized by the War Depart

Omit Telephone
Calls arid Help in
This Emergency.
Bell telephone service in Mc-
Donough is seriously hampered
by the absence of two out of the
three regular employes operators
who are ill with Spanish influenza.
Adequate service cannot be ren
dered under these conditions un
less we have the patriotic co-ope
ration of the telephone-using pub
lic. The traffic is heavier than
usual, and our limited force of
operators are striving to meet the
unusual demands.
You are urged not to make local
or long distance telephone calls
except in cases of absolute neces
sity. Ordinary business and so
cial calls must be eliminated so
that the traffic may be reduced to
the point where it can be handled
efficiently by the limited number
of operators who are able to per
form their duties.
If you make unnecessary calls
you will interfere with the emer
gency needs of the community
and prevent us from handling the
calls which are absolutely essen
tial.
Only through patriotic co-ope
ration of the entire telephone-us
ing public can we successfully
cope with this serious situation
and render service for the essen
tial needs of the public.

graph Company.
