 they still are members have refused to sign the pledge cards on that account A total of only 250 new members was reported by the committees yesterday It is intended to make the campaign q
 complete success by the work today. and when the committees meet at F 80 o'clock
 at the Hotel Hillman for lunch it is ex.
 pected that no less than 150o new mem. bers will be reported
 One of the outstanding events of yes terday was the report at the Luncheon that the Birmingham Railway, Light ant l Power company had subscribed to '; I its vice president, J. P. H. DeWindt Which was regarded as a fine demonstra | ton of this company's attitude toward
 Birmngham's civic advancement. Georg, McCteery committee reported the larges | catch" of the day, bringing in 32 new members. George Blinn Jr.'s commit
 tee reported 19 new members, while Mur ray Brown, winner of Wednesday, re ported IA new members. The special com ] mittee. headed by Crawford Johnson brought in S1 new members, and R. F l Epperson reported 10. George Knox, Jr.
