STATE NEWS jj
Advices received by the Rt. Rev.
Bishop 3. J. Donahue from various
parts of the state indicate that the
contributions from the various councils
of the Knights of Columbus will, :
in round numbers, aggregate 550,000. .
This puts West Virginia in the front '
rank among tl:c forty-eight states. Xo i
difficulty will be experienced, it Is ,
c.-cpectcd. in raising the maximum or ]
the eight million dollars sought.
Pcrhap3 the most pleasant feature ]
in the movement is in the wholehearted
manner in which parishes al- j
most exclusively composed of Ger- j
man origin responded to this appeal.
St. Aiphonsus" church of Wheeling has ,
already raised about ?3.000. House- ,
wives in Preston county did them- ,
selves proud by "going over the top." ,
"I believe." said Bishop Donahue.
