Sermon Tomorrow.
That every effort will be put forth
by members of the general Liberty
loan committee for the town Of Plain
Vile was evidenced by the large at
tendance at a meeting Of the commit
tee held in the Town hall last evening.
Nearly every member was present.
For the next three weeks there will
be a continuous drive to raise the
designated allotment Of 100000 for
the town of Plainvi1le to float the
second Liberty loan issue. Every in
dustry in the town will be enlisted.
Ministers will speak from their pulpits
on the Liberty loan, manufacturers
will urge their employees to subscribe,
business men will push along the pro-
ject and by committees of men and
women a house to house canvas Of the
town will be made.
At the meeting last evening plans
were made to successfully carry on
the campaign which will be brought
to finish on October 81. Prominent
men were elected as chairmen of the
different subcommittee. These
chairmen in turn will hold meetings
with the members Of the respective
committees and discuss plans to ex-
pedite subscriptions to the loan.
The chairmen Of the different COM
mittees were appointed as follows:
f. T. Whee1er-Manufact COM
mites
c. H. Calor-Merchants' committee.
r. H. Burton-Ministers' committee.
W. j. Johnson-Grangers' and
Farmers committee.
j. M. Northumberland field with
power to appoint deputies.
The duties of these men are, to work
in their respective fields and solicit
subscriptions. j. N. McKernan, who
has no special field in which to work
will affiliate with the general chair
man, A. A. Macleod, and after CO.
workers have been appointed will
complete a house to house canvas.
Mrs Edwin Hills, chairman OF the
women's organization, will also ap-
point a subcommittee of probably
five women, who will work in con-
junction with her. She will formulate
her own plans and will also work in
connection with the general chairman.
Mrs. Hills and members of the sub
committee will probably visit the fac
tories where girls are employed and
through the meQllll1l OIL the lOIeuleI
endeavor to sell bonds. They will also
make a house to house canvas.
The town has been divided up into
districts which will make the plans
more efficient, each appointee having
a prescribed area to cover.
According to statistics compiled by
J. N. McKernan each man, woman
and child In the town would be as
sessed $33 in the allotment were to be
completed in that manner. This
shows the tremendous task which
members Of the general committee abe
up against. However, they have plen-
ty of spirit and are not in the least
discouraged each one asserting that
the amount will be raised within the
next three weeks.
Treasurer Macleod, treasurer of the
Plainville Trust company announced
this morning that subscriptions to the
loan woul1 reach $4,000 by night. In
lieu of the fact that the big drive is
not yet really under way this Is en-
couraging.
The plan which will be followed in
the factories and among those who are
willing but unable to buy a bond out
right is to use the weekly payment
plan. Each person, who buys bond
in this manner will pay small
amount each week until the last pay
ment has been paid. 1t is thought
