In all there will be thirty.six speech
es made by the twenty.seven men on
the roll at present. Each man on the
roll has a theatre appointment, and
IN q few cases two appointments dur
ing the campaign.
The rules of the Four Minute Or
saniEation are few but binding. -Four
minutes only; stick to the subjecti
speak as authorized; to secure OWE
substitute from the list Of Four Min
ute Men il impossible to fill engage
ment. A speaker must appear when
billed. Theatre managers OF be con
suited as to time Of appearance.
In the campaign just closed the men
Of the organization were very faith
full. In only a very few instances did
speakers fail to appear or have a sub
stitute there.
The government will award an in
sigma to each four minute man who
faithfully works, and who has partici
pated whole.heartedly in at least three
campaigns. Chairman Kern has rec
commended nineteen of the Fairmont
-Four Minute Men for this honor, and
hopes to be able to recommend each
and all before long. However the
award cannot be made If the service
is not faithful and If appointments be
ignored. In fact the government re
quires a chairman to drop from the
list any speaker who does not actu
ally work and fill his appointments.
The spirit manifested by the Foul
Minute Men Of Fairmont Is fine, and
there is little complaint because OIL
nep.appearances. 1t Is hoped that dur
ing the ensuing campaign that not d
man misses, and the theatre manag
ers are requested to report any fail
ures to appear. ,.,1Gis.
The above schedule has been made
up so as not to interfere with the
speaking campaign now going on in
the county, and is made definite and
binding on the members OF the organ,
ization. Any changes to be made will
have to be made by the individual by
substituting another man in his place
when he cannot go as billed.
