UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
At the suggestion of President Wilson the seven organizations, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., K. of C., Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association, and Salvation Army
united in one campaign on November 11-18, 1918, to raise $170,000,000 to carry on the work among these organiza- tions in the Army and Navy. Washington County was given a quota of $350,000. J. WV. Moninger, General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was appointed county director by the state director of Pensylvania. A meeting was called by the county director at the Y. M. C. A. Building and the following executive committee was elected: C. S. Caldwell, chairman, R. G. Miller, vice- chairman, Joseph A. Herron, vice-chairman, R. S. Win- ters, treasurer, Frank H. Berthel, secretary. This com- mittee with G. G. Oliver, Patrick York, Samuel L. Siegel, and the county director traveled over the entire county securing in each area a chairman to be responsible for his particular area, the county being divided into thirteen different areas. Washington's quota was $104,000, and by the very efficient work of C. S. Caldwell, chairman, and a large number of men and women who assisted in this campaign, about $114,000 was subscribed, there being about 8,000 subscriptions.
The total amount reported at the close of the campaign was $385,190.10.

WASHINGTON'S PART IN THE WORLD WAR
WASHINGTON AND WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
T HOUGH the sale of war savings and thrift stamps was continuous in Washington throughout the war, and in fact still continues, the history of Washington and war saving stamps was really written in the remarkable drive in late June of 1918 that ended in whirlwind success on July 4. With the appointment of Frank H. Berthel of Washington as chairman for the western area of the county, organization was completed locally by the appointment of T. D. Vera as vice-chairman and John L. Stewart as public- ity editor. Field marshals were named and special chair- men appointed as follows: Lee K. Ward, publicity ; Harry A. Jones, Four Minute Men; Richard G. Miller, booster meetings; George M. Thompson, posters and lithographs ; Peter McWee, boy scouts; Patrick Curran, fire department.
Headquarters had been established in the Community Building where the Board of Trade greatly aided in public- ity and stenographic details. After two weeks of prepara- tion the ten field marshals were appointed in June 19 at a meeting never equaled in Washington for attendance and enthusiasm. So large was the attendance, in fact, that the public meeting room in the court house would not hold the crowd of workers and it was necessary to adjourn to the open lawn. Addresses were made by John L. Stewart on "What War Savings Stamps Are;" by Chairman Berthel on "How to Sell War Savings Stamps"; and by Rev. Frank E. Jensen on "What Have You Done?" The final note of the pre-drive preparations was sounded on the evening of June 21 in the huge parade arranged by Publicity Director Lee K. Ward. George C. Barr was chief marshal and Superintendent J. C. Stiers and Professor E. F. Westlake of the local schools assisted materially.
The drive opened June 22 and gained momentum daily till the high-speed finish on July 3 and 4. Wonderful work was done by the women, particularly in the house to house canvass and at the twenty booths in various parts of the city. The postal officials and employes also did splendid service, aiding materially in the final result. The Independ-
ence Day spurt of the last two days was the climax. At the suggestion of Mrs. G. G. Oliver special pledge cards were prepared and subscribers on these days became members of the Independence Day Club. R. M. Murphy and C. M. Mc- Alister made rousing four-minute talks from patriotically decorated floats. The Washington firemen staged the most novel and effective "stunt" of the closing drive, however, when they responded to an alarm from North Main street. There was much smoke but no fire. After a huge crowd had assembled it was announced that a fireman would ascend the ladder one rung for each $5 war savings stamp pur- chased. Subscriptions poured in and soon every fireman was on the roof of the building and when Chief Curran reached the top rung a Pershing Limit subscription of $1,000 put him "over the top." There were 202 Pershing Limit club members at the finish of the drive.
Of the total of $1,062,413.17 reported for the western area of the county by Chairman Frank H. Berthel, over half came from Washington alone. Just how this wonderful total was amassed is shown in the table below, which con- tains the special committees, their field marshals and the amounts they raised.
