The desire of merchants and other bust

10 the list of those having stamps on
sale continues. Four more places of sale
were added to the already large list

the Central National Bank, the Shoreham
newsstand w. +. Guide and the Wallace
newsstand. Two other applications were
received from local banks with request
that the District chapter arrange to have
members of the society conduct the sales.
This was found to be impossible. as prac-

chapter has it's hands full with duties as
signed them before the sac began. 1t is
d obablc some satisfactory arrangement
will be made with the banks tomorrow
