County Red Cross
Quota Set, $3,041

Bosque County’s Red Cross qu«*ta
for 1957 is set at $3,041, according
to information furnished by the
county Red Cross Chairmen, Mrs
Velma W. Golden of Clifton and
Mrs. Vada G. Turner of Meridian.
An increase-in disasters during
the past 12 months has been a
heavy' drain upon Red Cross funds,
which, with a general increase in
cost of supplies to be purchased,
has brought about a proportionate
increase to all areas.
Last year Bosque County met the
quota set for the area with county-
wide donations totaling $2,432. Of
this amount Clifton raised approxi-
mately $600; this year Clifton's
goal has been set at $900

tative of the American Red Cross

Lion Bushong stressed the -need
of every Lion to dedicate a portion
of himself to hia community and
to building the great fleet of

to dwell on only a few of the
"service-ships" available to Lion

ship, (2) leadership, (3) apostleship,
(4) stewardship, (5) membership,
