The quota is approximately 75 per cent more than that or last year, but, explained Campaign Di rector Dwight C. Lefferts to his workers, the increase is in direct ratio to the increase in the national quota. WORKERS AT KICKOFP Kickoff meeting in the city hall auditorium Tuesday night served to distribute supplies for starting the campaign on the first day of the month and to take inspiration from the experiences of a typical soldier in the front line, Pvt. Ern est Lopez, who related his person al reaction to events in the taking of Attu in the Aleutians. More than 175 workers attended the organization meeting Tuesday.

Director Lefferts emphasized the need for many to double the amount they contributed last year, especially those who have bene fited by increased income. He told of the extended work of the Red Cross, of the blood bank and the work with war pris oners. "This is not a dollar-membership campaign," ha advised, "but a campaign for funds with which to continue the work of the Red Cross, in the most desperate war in which the nation has been engaged." Thomas Elliott of Yucaipa, who introduced Private Lopez, urged that workers call at every house and emphasized the need for doubling the amount of donations this year. WEARS PURPLE HEART Private Lopez, who was in the infantry at the taking of Attu, was wounded twice and wears the Purple Heart The first was a bayonet wound received in hand-to- men, "who looked mighty good to me." Since then he has been in 12 hospitals withfn nine months, "and believe me, the Red Cross is continually on the Job and the work it is doing in building morale is wonderful. I urge you to double the help they ask, and double the amount of blood they request for plasma which saved my life and the lives of hundreds of my buddies." SERVICE FOR MRS STORY Service for Mrs.

Will Duranf fo Give Lecture on Redlands Visit- Announcement Made Famous Author ta Be Heard March 8 "A Philosophy of Life for Our Times" will be the subject of Dr, Will D.urant, author and historian, when he speaks at the University of Redlands Memorial chapel next Wednesday, March 8, at 8:15 m. Mr. Durant's visit will be part of a coast-to-coast lecture tour. The philosopher and historian is now at work on the third volume of his "Story of Civilization," which will be "Caesar and Christ." He writes an average of a page a day, but that page represents about 12 hours work, He hopes to get the -book com pleted and ready for publication by 1945.

The basic idea behind Mr. Durant's writing of his famous "Story of Philosophy" which has sold nearly 3,000,000 copies and his new five-volume series was the belief that modern knowledge was too piecemeal, too specialized. "I felt," he said recently, "that we were getting more and more facts, but less and less perspective. I want my readers to see all this great body of knowledge brought into a single field of vision, see it whole and see how its component parts fit into the general pattern." Tickets for Dr. Durant's Red' lands lecture are available at the public relations office of the Uni versity.
