"Am I doing it right?" asks a new Lassie County of Laddie Ann Arbor, as the little boy and girl added part of a "$" sign to their Cross today. As each "$" sign symbolizes $2,000 added to the Red Cross fund, the children were unable to complete their signs today as only $770 was added to the county total and only $1,601.55 to the city total. Lassie County is now credited with $2,770 for her fund, and Laddie Ann Arbor has $10,575.15, for a grand county total of $13,345.15. The little girl playing the part of Lassie County today is not the same little girl who has taken the part during the past week, as some quick-eyed citizens may have noticed. The original Lassie County got so anxious to fill in "$" signs she broke out in a rash. Doctors called it "chicekpox", and so a young friend has stepped into her role temporarily. The original little girl will be back in a week or so, and she is anxiously hoping that by then citizens of the county will have collected enough money for the Red Cross so that she will be kept busy filling in "$" signs. Her young substitute is hoping that she too will have a lot of work to keep her busy, and Laddie Ann Arbor is asking Ann Arbor citizens to give him a job to do.
