TRI KAPPA GOES OVER TOP IN RED CROSS SE\US SALE
The novel method of sale adopted by the local chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa to put over their Chrlsunas seal campaign, netted the Red Cross a sum of $172.61. Several i-epcrts are yet to be heard from. The young women sent a letter to many business men in Hie city in which was enclosed $1 worth of stamps and a stamped return envelope. The letter stated that if the man wanted the stamps, he should enclose $1 in the return envelope and return it to its sender. If he did not want the seals then return them in the stamped envelope. This plan netted a large sum. The young women also placed booths in the court house, post office, all the banks, and in several business houses during the weeks before Christmas. The fund is expected to go over the $200 mark when all the re-
ports are made. •
The committee in charge wishes through the Herald to thank the individuals who contributed so generously in the fund fighting Tuber-
