ONE war WORK BODY.

nY far the most significant note OF the gathering held at
The Fa;rrnont last evening to discuss the subject OF
war work IN Marion county. and of the meeting OF the
Memo. County Council Of Defense which Preccded he
dinner was the quiet determination OF ever that Mar
ion county shall do its duty fully and absolutely when
ever called upon There need be fears that score
At the meeting at the hotel the outstanding feature was
the agreement of opinion that there should be some one
organization to take charge OF all campaigns Of whatever
natre that are unde.t ken in the county 1t was also
apparent that those present OF mind regarding the
necessity to make this organization aggressive, thoroughly
wide =akc practically patriotic and compre2essIve-a
body that will reach theheads Of the hooS, to borrow
the expressive phrase crnPloycd by Hon. O. s N1c>nncy
It vas not to be expected that the matter would proceed
much beyond The discussion stage at the first meeting but
IN the appointment OF Committee of Seven to consider
the situation ard outline plan for organization '5ch
will carry out the purpose Of the meeting TO form War
Work body great stride forward taken and 1t may
be assumed that the movement has been safely launched
he Committee of Seven, which is yet TO be appointed
by J. Walter Barnes Chairman OF lhc Marion County
Council of Defense should take tine study the problem
that is before and the county from angle but 1t
should not lose sight of the necessity for reasonable haste
Il should be the aim of every who called TO take
land this most important local movement IN support OF
the government to get the War Work body Sartea
IN time to take an active part in the Campaign for the Ma
donaI Red Cross drive which will in May. and tor
which Marion county probably will have to make the
'argest contribution so far asked for.
