other organizations is "The Mind

members pledge themselves to pay
fines for any violations of the rules
which prohibit talking about neighbors,
friends and relatives. The parent
body has headquarters in New Jersey,
but branches have been formed in
many Pennsylvania towns, and large
revenue is expected or change in
the conduct of many members can be
looked for. A branch of the organ
ization in Bloomsburg would be a
winner. Here's chance to replenish
