ut Is thought timely" q statement
by Assistant Secretary Crosby says
''to give the above figures so that each
district should know the measure OF
effort that must be made in the re-
manning days Of the campaign to Sc
cure success. It is evident that the
very large individual and collective
subscriptions that have been published
from time to time have created an
impreesion in the minds Of many that
the desired results can be attained
without the full co-operation Of ANAL
subscribers.
