Wrangell has again followed an old established custom of giving more than was asked, according to G. J. Fabricius, chairman of the Red Cross Campaign Fund Drive in Wrangell. Contributions of Wrangell citizens to the Fund Campaign totaled $703.70, which is considerably above the quota set for Wrangell. It is expected that late contributions will swell the total to even more. No contributions are too late to be appreciated, Mr. Fabricius said. “I wish at this time to express my appreciation for the help rendered by Mr. Sharnbroich, former chairman, Mrs. Milles and the typing class, Mr. Lemke and the Boy Scouts, and the high school girls who prepared the poster,”Mr. Fabricius said, “they really did the work that usually falls on the chairman.”
