Twenty Ogden Boy Scouts dis-tributed American Red Cross drive posters throughout the city today in preparation for the opening of the annual campaign Monday. Scouts of troops 16 and six and Explorer Scouts of post 54-7 ac¬complished the task under the di¬rection of their leaders and D. L. Roberts, Ogden area council Scout executive. The posters were placed in vari¬ous business houses, public build¬ings and in store windows. Other large posters were erected on street light poles and other conspicuous places. "Scouts of the Ogden area coun¬cil are always anxious and willing to assist in such a worthy cause as the Red Cross," Roberts said. "Both organizations have a lot in common in that they both stress being prepared." Meanwhile, E. LaMar Buckner, drive chairman, said today every¬thing was in readiness for a "full scale" soliciting campaign starting Monday. Workers are charged with gathering $55,934 for 1951. Some divisions of the drive have already started the collections of donations. Scouts who distributed the post¬ers were: Delkin Richardson, Rich¬ard Duncan, Kenneth Hill, Donald Hackman, Gordon Lowham, Francis Burton, David Jorgensen, Gordon Williams, Carl Berry, Dick Steph-ens, "Edward Shaw, William Sand- strom, Leonard Clements, Don Woodin, Roger Le Rohl, Frank Geilman, Don Lee and Robert Bur¬ton. Victory Beacon? When the Red Cross symbol atop the Weber county chapter house is again illuminated it will be a victory beacon signalling success in the annual fund campaign. Shown switching it off until the drive goes over the top is Olin H. Ririe, Weber county Red Cross chapter chairman. Light Turned Oft to Signal Start of Mercy Campaign Olin H. girie, chairman of the. Weber county chapter, American Red Cross, turned off the neon Red Cross symbol atop the chapter home today to start off the 1951 county fund campaign. Chairman Ririe will turn the sign back on when workers in the annual drive have topped the 1951 drive quota of $53,934. The annual nation-wide drive for funds to support the many and varied humanitarian activities of the Red Cross, officially gets un¬derway today. In Weber county, 400 volunteer workers in the various divisions of the drive took to the field. They will cover every home, busines and industrial organization in the coun¬ty to gather assigned contributions. E. LaMar Buckner, drive chairman, met last week with the various division workers as they gathered supplies at the chapter home, head¬quarters for this year's drive, and urged them to "work hard" for the "vital cause." He pointed out that based on a county population of 82,930, each man, woman and child must give 66 cents in order that the drive might succeed. Assisting Chairman Buckner in key drive posts are, L. C. William-sen, James L. Bush, Frank W. Hart, and F. L. Montmorency, as vice chairmen. |
