Total collected ..... 1904. 55
"Of the 81 subscription lists circu-
lated among the firms, only 35 were
returned to me with remittances.
There are still 46 lists outstanding,
and a report of the result will be
submitted at the very next meeting.
Mostly all of the subscribers have
expressed their sincere wishes that
the contributions should be used for
the immediate relief of the needy fam
flies of the F-4 victims, and be distri-
buted locally. In fact, one of the
firms who with its employees has con-.
tributed a handsome amount, has
made special notation on the subscrip-
ton list, over the firms name sigma
ture, that the contribution is made
distinctly for the relief of the local
sufferers, and is not a contribution to
a general fund Other firms and In
dividual contributors have manifested
similar sentiments. mention these
incidents because feel that the club
should comply with their requests, 1
inasmuch as the committee has guar
anteed to execute their will and
should be backed by the club. Admi-
raj and Mrs. Moore, who have so
theoretically cared for the unfortu-
nate families OF the F4 since the
catastrophe, and who are with us
here today, have decidedly thorough
knowledge of the prevailing condi.
lions and have kindly consented to
address the club on the what and how
of relief fund"
In response to request from Pres
ident Harrington, the Ad Club mem
bers gave three rousing cheers for
the men who went down in the F-4.
while this is probably an unusual
thing for me to ask you to do" said
Mr.. Harrington, Il am sure it is what
every man who went down in the F-4
would want us to do at this time"
