COLERIDGE- Drive in School District Is 55% Over Quota; More Contributions Are Wanted A survey of the Red Cross drive for school district 41 shows that contributions made to date are slightly more than $700. The quota for the district is $450, and the fund score totals 155% of that.
The local drive has not yet been completed but will be next week. The campaign has advanced far enough that it is now doubtful whether the $1,000 mark, which had been desired here, can be reached. However, with just a little more effort, the local drive should pass the $900 mark, double the quota.
