called upon Spencer Bowen of the

Church Club, Spencer Bowen for the
Mems League, and John Hughes for
the Elks, was selected to draft a plan
for a general organization to aid the
movement.

briefly in four paragraphs as follows:
"That a central committee be eff

to have entered the Pennsylvania tun-
