Referendum league. permi, me TO
thank you for the invaluable service
rendered by your paper In our refer
endum campaign.
Permit me also TO express. thru
your paper. our appreciation for
work done by the volunteers who
have given 40 freely OF their time

stations came volunteers. To record
the sacrifices and devotion OF scores
of these would require a book.
The work on tho referendum
