The manager of one firm said that
he would call a meeting of his en-

from the monthly payroll and turn
il over in a lump sum.

bespeaks success, and a big list in

policy Of the campaign, under which
division chairmen are given free
rein in the conduct of the campaign
in their respective divisions to Sc
cure results.
Citizens Can Help Too.
Such action as was taken by Mr..
Cone need not be confined to division
chairmen, Mr.. Hardy said today. He
suggests that any patriotic citizen,
who wants to help in the campaign
can call a neighborhood meeting at
his home, where ~things" can be
talked over.
'Tt won't only help the campaign,
said Mr.. Hardy, but 1t will give
Eeighbors chance to get acquainted,
and there is something more than
acquaintance in working for a COM
mon cause.
