$14,700 raised for sustaining fund

West End claims city trophy,
Sointula leads all province

Pacific Tribune supporters, in a whirlwind two-month campaign, turned in $14,700.13 in the

194 press drive.

With some contributions still coming in, the $15,000 objective may yet be reached,

op honors to clubs and organizations are based on percentage of drive targets.
West End leads the parade with 186 percent on their objective.

In Vancouver,

Tied for second spot are North Van

and East End No. 2. Both raised 165 percent on their targets. West End wins the drive trophy held

last year by Grandview.
