Report Monday Will Indicate First indications of how the 1950 Weber county Red Cross fund campaign is progressing will be known Monday at noon when the initial report luncheon is held in the ballroom of Hotel Ben Lomond. Division chairmen, accompanied by their vice-chairmen, will report on collections to Gene Robinson, general drive chairman. Dr. H. A. Dixon, Weber college president, will speak. Robinson pointed out that this year, as last, the drive is being conducted exclusively by non-paid volunteers. Probably the youngest of such workers doing their part to again put the drive over the top are Boy Scouts from Troops 75 and 56 who Saturday distributed posters to Ogden business houses, according to Rev. D. Atwood Bird, public information chairman. The posters, distributed under general direction of Scoutmasters Ray Manley and Howard Watts, show the Red Cross official flag held aloft, which the “All May Give” theme lettered.
