THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
DOUGLAS COUNTY CHAPTER
COMMUNITY BUILDING

LAWRENCE, KANSAS

8, County towns other than TLawrence

Baldwin $1159.66
Eudora 847,12
Lecompton 133,35

Organizations were set up in each town and
functioned excellently. We were disappointed in
the result at Eudora where there were hundreds
of defense workers living in trailers, The re-
sponse from these people was very poor and they
were al] called upon for donations.

9. Sunflower Ordnance Works $2229.75
Solicitation was made in cooperation with
Johnson Countv at the Sunflower Ordnance Works
which is 12 miles distant from Lawrence, This
was made after our regular campaign had been
concluded, It was conducted bv women from
Tawrence and Johnson County who sat all dev in
small booths over the immense erea of this plant
and received donations as 2 result of Red Cross
signs on the booth. I want to pay special
tribute to these housewives who were subjected
to the worst winter weather that Kansas offers
in soliciting these funds, The total was $6723.90
. which was allocated to 9 counties, our proportion
being the above amount.

The people of Lawrence and Douglas County not only
gave generously enough to far exceed our guota but
willingly gave of their time to help in the campaign. It
is a privilege to live in such ® community.
