PROTESTANTS TO
LAUNCH BIGGEST
DRIVE EVER MADE
National Campaign to Raise
$336,777,572 Surpasses
Anything Similar Ever Un
dertaken In World.
Thirty Protestant denominations
of the United States will begin
simultaneously, April 25 and con
tinuing to May 2,. a national cam-
"paign to raise $336,777,572 with
which to carry on the world-wide
work of the Protestant church. The
announcement of the drive was madb
by Lyman L. Pierce, director gerl
cral of the campaign.
This is the largest financial Roal
.ever proposed for volunteer giving,
and is more than twice that of the
United war wprk campaign. Of the
total amount to be given, $175,448-,
J4y is to be paid in ihc amount
of money asked is based on a scien-
- tific survey of the needs of the
world. Every Protestant church in
the country will have a part in the
campaign. ' .
In making the announcement and
in explaining the campaign, the basis
of appeal, and the Interchurch
'World movement, - Mr. Pierce said:
Sheepskins Will Be Presented to Twenty-one Graduates of High
School of Commerce in Central High Auditorium Thursday Night
4W, Airman &&rce
"When 30 great American denomi
nations representing 70 per cent of
the Protestant church membership
. of the country decided that in the
. interests of economy and efficiency
I tlire were . certain - things which
. should be undertaken together, they
r brought into existence as an agency
which fliey were to co-operate,
, the Interchurch World movement.
"The first task was to. make
thorough survey of the whole for
t eign and home mission field that
.-. the needs cf the entire world might
be discovered. ! The survey has been f
' vigorously conducted and as a re
. suit of systematic research it is
.. proposed to meet this task. by rais-
iiig -necessary funds and developing
the needed resources of man power.
Through this united, simultaneous
financial campaign, 182 boards of
various kinds, representing 30 de
nominations, will make their appeal
to the. whole nation ,
Demonstration of Solidarity,
"'"if' is proposed in every com
imtnity throughout America to call
that great friendly constituency
w hich is not directly allied with the
church as members, to take its share
iu the raising of the funds. To this
:'cnd, iii'eveot community there will
be a united' simultaneous financial
committee which will in turn or
ganize a . greit, citizens division to
tvork with the denominational di
visions in providing the financial ob
jective; Each sta(e will make 'quotas
on a fair basis to each county. The
county will then make qubtas to the
communities and . the communities
'will raise funds through an or
ganization made up of a .number of
divisions. - .-,. '
"The" united simultaneous finan
cial campaign wih be a demonstra
tion of the solidarity of the. church.
It also will be a demonstratioiv of
the interest of citizens of the com
munity in a great' program of the
church. i
."The church is now the one
agency which has had clearness of
vision, courage and ' penetration to
learn its needs by a comprehensive
survey of the world's needs, to face
the facts and to prepare to carry
out the task through this financial
- campaign. The church is calling
upon America to stand back of
its clearly defined, unfinished task,
the result of a survey, probably the
most remarkable ever made."

j Redisricting Law'
Gives Voters Option, -
Interpretation Shows
' Mabel C. Johnson, superintendent
of Douglas vouiity schools, has re
ceived from State Superintendent J.
M. Mauen an interpretation of the
much-disputed, redisricting law. .
"This law does not compel re
disricting," she,, says. "It merely
establishes,. boundaries which do not
become l operative until the voters
of, a proposed consolidated district
decide that they want consolidation.
"Au .open-country n consolidated
district is formed by a petition of
25 per cent of the electors to the
county i superintendent , .to call au
election in the district to vote on
the proposition.' If a majority of
the votes cast are in favor of con
solidation the county , superinten
dent declares the proposed district
dulv established.
"To effect a consolidation around
ah' 'organized consolidated or high
school district' . it is only necessary
for a majority of the electors in
the. district residing outside the or
ganize district to auk to be in
cluded .in it. This is conditioned
also on consent of the board of
education Of the already organized
district." ' ' '
