THE ADVOCATE Advocates f Works dvocate Press Drive earing $2,000 Mark Answering the appeal made by the Advocate last week Vancouver's Jewish Progressive Organization has donated $20.40 to the campaign for a $4,000 sustaining fund. We take this opportunity to thank the organization for its quick and generous response. Acting on the need for intensified efforts Sointula came to the forefront this week when it mailed in $27 to capture second place throughout the province. Thank you, Sointula boosters. In Vancouver the Hastings East committee also took immedi-?— ate action to step up its campaign when it brought in another $27 to maintain its lead over other city committees and put a decided gap between it and its nearest opponents, South Van- couver and West End. However, a great many things can hap- pen in three weeks and South Vancouver and West End claim they are determined to win the city championship.
