In Brattleboro where the 81 per cent OF

present the drive will be carried on with
not II bit less enthusiasm and the same
applies to other towns which have full
quota OF members This is made neccs
sary in order that the new members sc
cured throughout the county will reach
the total expected OF this district and
make up for some of the smaller places
where there are no members now, or
which are far below their quota
Many old members here who have seen
the new Christmas membership buttons.
which in fact are very attractive, have
already paid another dollar for one of
them, and this probably will be the case
with hundreds after the campaign is
actively under way. Already there hatr
been numerous calls at headquarters for
the service flags, to which old as we'll a.
new members are entitled. Present.
members, however, do not have to pay
anything for them. but just call and AJAX
for one.
