A Worthy Undertaking..

On next Monday, the 10th inst,
committees composed of officers and
members of Ascension Council No.
1887, Knights of Columbus, will be-
gin an active and vigorous campaign
of this city and parish for the purpose
Of soliciting contributions to the
Knights of Columbus War Campaign
Fund This fund is to be used in
building recreation camps at the vari-
Gus army cantonements throughout
the country, and providing literature,
ETC., for the soldier boys at the vari-
GUS camps, and also for the main
tenance of a Catholic priest at each
camp. This work has the approval Of
the federal government, under whose
authorization and supervision it is
conducted. Some time ago the order
raised 81 100000 for the purpose, and
as this sum has proven inadequate,
drive will now be made to raise 81
100000 more. The cause to which
this money is to be devoted is a most
worthy one, and it is to be hoped that
the people generally will contribute
according to their means to the fund.
