Third District Notes.


 A meeting for the purpose of organ izing the end of the section of the Third District south of the railroad viaduct was held Monday night at Rakoczy Hall. The meeting was provided over by James T. Reynolds, Chairman of the entire district. MT. w. T. Hincks, as chairman Of the War Savings Committee, was the principal speaker. He explained the scope and purpose of the War Savings move ment and dwe1t upon the plan of or ganization and campaign in the city. After MT. Hincks finished, Rev. Alex ander Ludman, Pastor of the First Magyar Reformed Church, made an address of great eloquence in which he implored the American-H Hungarian people to prove themselves good Am ericans and to stand by the Govern ment in it's effort to make a wide dis tribution of the War Savings Stamps. The organization of this portion of the district was completed by the assign ment of territory and streets to differ | ent groups of canvassers. Miss Mary Stapleton, Principal of the Longfel1ow and Jackson Schools, together with a group of twenty-nine of her teachers, undertook the canvass of a very con siderable portion of the district. From their long occupancy of teachers po- sitions in the school in this district they have an acquaintance with the parents which outsiders could not ac- quire. Prominent among the other canvassers taking territory were groups headed by Rev. MT. Ludman John Dezso, Michael Kozma. The American Hungarian citizens are a prudent people and are able to make a very real subscription to the War l Savings Stamps if properly approach ed. As a people they are depositine largely in the Postal Savings Bank and an effort will be made to show them that they will get in these Wal Stamps exactly the same security al double the interest in the Postal Say. ings Bank.
