Shackelford county hat
exceeded a quota ih the war «i
This time It was the War
drive, headed by the chairman,
P. Crutchfield, and his commlttM.
Tuesday $3,966.84 had been Mill*
ed in to the committee, and It
expected the sum would «Jn
$4,000 when all contributions art
turned over to the committee.
The quota set for Shackelford
county was $3,420, and contHW
tions exceeded the quota hy $581.
Every part of the county aided
in raising this sum. CommunitlM
in the northwest part of the coun-
ty raised their War Chest allot*
ments with pie suppers, and In Al-
bany and Moran, committees Work-
ed residential sections and buihtMt
districts. Still other commltteM
canvassed oil men and ranchers.
Mr. Crutchfield and his comi
tee extend thanks to each one
contributed, and to those wh
solicited funds.
This total contribution of ISr
D5R.24 is compared with the total
raised in May, 1942, when $020.0§
was subscribed. The sum last year
far exceeded the quota also, and
is a good indication of the increase
during the past IS months of the
intensive war effort.
Money contributed goes for the
support of the USO and sixteen
other causes.
