but at this time it appears that'
additional contributions will
be needed to reach our quota
of $915.00. If anyone has
been overlooked contributions
may be left with Mrs. Hunter
Futrell, treasurer, at The Cot-
ton Belt State Bank.
A group of local workers
made a canvas in the business
section of town last week and
met with fine response. Re-
ports are yet to be received
from other workers in the
Timpson precinct.
Weather conditions delayed
the campaign, but Mr. Phelps
says he feels confident this
city and communities will
come through with their usual
good record.
