Mothers Perfect Plans For Coming Porchlight Drive

Mrs. Robert C. Moore Completes Program For Polio Solicitation

The patriotic room of the courthouse will be the reporting station for the mothers when they hold their annual porchlight parade next Thursday evening, Jan. 27 between 6:30 and 7:30 o'clock, according to Mrs. R. C. Moore, local chairman.

The community has been divided into sections by the chairman and they will march in unison next Thursday evening in their personal campaign to raise money for the polio drive.

Mrs. Moore will be in the patriotic room and all mothers or solicitors are urged to turn in their contributions when completed at this central location.

A running account of the amounts received will be tabulated and the total phoned into Columbus.

Arrangements are being completed to have the fire siren blow exactly at 6:30 p. m. which will signal the beginning of the drive.

All residents are urged to leave an envelope with their contribution in it for the solicitor in the event they are not going to be at home during this hour.

Mrs. William Fleming, chapter chairman, said today that during the last campaign $4,857.61 was raised in the polio drive for the entire month.

This represents 41 1/2 cents per capita for the entire drive. In neighboring Guernsey county, the drive netted $11,209.29 or 29 cents per capita, which was much less than Noble.
