This Day in History: 1945-03-08
As the second week of the annual Red Cross Fund Drive was drawing to a close, drive Chairman, P. D. Ash of Mahwah announced that two communities had already exceeded their quotas: Fardale and Saddle River. The achievements of these local committees were featured on radio station WEAF’s newscaster Don Goddard, who compared their results and those of Scarsdale with the lagging receipts in New York City. Saddle River reached 110% of quota and FArdale achieved 125% of its quota, according to Ash.
