At Daily and Nightly Meetings the
Gospel of Better Highways is
Being Preached to
Thousands

Women who have been appealed 10
by letter are responding rapidly TO
the request to call up daily at least
five of their male friends, or their
wives. daughters or sisters, asking
thin to push along the good roads
movement.
This is the idea of the Los Angeles
club women and it is reaching thou
sands of men whose interest in the
coming bond election has been apa-
thetic or dilatory.
The campaign committee believes it
will awake hundreds to realizing
sense of their duty to go to the polls
July 80 and take along some one else
The bond issue will require two
thirds vote, hence the campaigners
want t. get out the biggest number
possible A heavy vote will also as
sist in the sale of the bonds
1t has been suggested that mass
meeting of women be held at Blan-
chard hall and that each woman there
later have a telephone matinee, calling
up as many friends as possible, either
from Blanchard hall or the nearby
telephones, all acting simultaneously.
Thousands of voters could thus be
reached at ce and it would make a
big impression, showing widespread in
terest in good roads.
Streams of visitors at headquarters
in the chamber of commerce, who flock
there daily, indicate lively and wide
spread interest in the election.
Workers are badly needed in most of
the precincts. Volunteers are urged
to report at once at headquarters so
that their names can be enrolled and
sufficient helpers be detailed to each
precinct to assure the attendance of
all voters. The automobile owners and
dealers have agreed that at least one
machine shall be furnished for each
precinct on election day.
Autos and vehicles of all kinds are
also needed in the country districts.
Tenders of services should be made
to the persons in charge of the local
good roads work.
