like a bugle call When the reveillei
is sounded II means get UP and get
busy. CIT was your pastor who sound
ed the bngle--I am just going to give
a little "toot
This call comes to the army of
church and college women throughout
our land. Do not think am here as

motions or be the tool of boss, then f
is my duty to vote il
