Pledge Cards Received.
Pledge cards and blanks have been
received by the committee appointed
in this town by the local chairman
S. S. Gwi'lim to aid in the campaign
to raise $240 for recreational facil-
tiles for soldiers in the various war
camp cities. The campaign is now
under way and each member of the
committee has a list Of names of per-
sons from whom he is supposed to
solicit subscriptions.
The money which is raised will be
used in creating and maintaining
strong committee in each of the war
camp cities, with many auxiliaries, to
protect the soldier from exploitation

in erecting and maintaining club and
recreational buildings, lodging houses,
comfort stations, swimming pools in
the war camp cities and in employing
one or more trained secretaries in
each camp city; also to make it pos
sible for relatives Of the enlisted men
to visit them at the camps, that is
by securing accommodations in the
immunity for such visitors, thus con-

this cost is recognized as the only
means by which the work can be
done.
