JASPER GOES OVER AGAIN

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DRIVE CLOSES WITH GRATIFYING 1 RESULTS. Another drive is over in Jasper. Sunday night at twelve the Knights of Columbus campaign for funds to be used in the upkeep of the “Everybody Welcome” buildings and huts, came to a close and the results showed $2,100.00 for the county, besides the donation of the faculty and students of St. Joseph College of $700.00. By the time complete returns are in the total will probably show something over the $3,000.00 mark. The quota of this county was fixed at $2,000.00 so again has our people come out with flying colors as they have done in past drives, all to help Uncle Sam win the war. As the doors of the Knights of Columbus huts are open wide to Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew, to the white and colored, so were the doors of our people, Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew, white and colored open to the solicitors working for this worthy cause and the hearty response met with everywhere was indeed gratifying to the committee in charge and they wish to take this means of thanking all who contributed to the fund and to all who by their assistance were instrumental in making the drive a success. A unique and patriotic way of raising funds was adopted at St. Joseph College. The contributors each bought thrift or war savings stamps and turned them over to the solicitors and as a number of filled thrift cards are still out it is thought that St. Joseph’s donation will rdpteh $1,000.00 when all thrift cardsk'nave been redeemed. yf
