man, Norval A. Hawkins, Hiram
Marks and George F. w. Reed. They
adopted q slogan: President Tart
here June 3. 100 new members be-
fore that date. Everybody get busy"
Everybody did get busy, with ven
geance. Each member OF the commit
tee named a subcommittee of Ave,
and the work was on. Daily reports
were made by John ID. Biggers. who Is
y
showing the number OF new members
received every day and the number
lacking to make good on the slogan
before the expiration OF the time limit.
The applications came In, at an aver
age of FIVE day and the century
mark was reached May 20. two weeks
