 The Fairfield County Association for Resource Mobilization, which in cludeS the whole county in it's scope, and every field of activity connected with the war, is answering the ques- tion for us. It is providing the per feet organization-the rope, the der ricks, the block and tackle-so that the pull of every other individual will be in the same direction as the pull of every other individual; so that each can find his place and do his share, making his efforts count and moving vast problems through the power of organized effort. .
