by Iron County can always meet its
quota. therefore, it becomes neces-
sary that a plan known as the Nation
al Defense League of Iron County be
and hereby is organized TO systemat-
ically take care of these various
drives.
This plan first calls for the hearty
support and energetic push oil each
member of the County Board in his
community to Immediately organize
his fellow townsmen into local
league along the following lines.
An organization of Town Chairman,
Town Treasurer and three or more
live members of the town.
Il will be necessary that this organ
izing committee personally see ana
acuuaint everybody in their locality
with the purpose of the organization,
and very urgently request them TO
Join the league and it will be found
that practically everyone will be GLAD
to Join so as to be free from future
drives.
The local league will take care OF
future war contribution drives, as fol-
lows: Through it's local committee,
who will receive their quota from the
County Board committee, an amount
equal to or more than their quota, will
be turned over to the head or county
board committee.
The plan for raising the money is
as follows: Each member of the
league is to contribute to the treasur-
er not less than $1.00 or as much
more as he shall see fit each month,
until the end of the war. Each men,
n
monthly payment that he makes,
thereby giving him the means OF prov
ing that he is an active contributor to
these various war organizations. such
as the Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A., X. OF
c., etc A button may also be given
| to each member.
This plan works out very nicely;
for instance as the Red Cross drive
to come off beginning May 10th, this
viii be taken care of as follows: The
County Board Committee consisting
of the chairman of the board, county
treasurer and three members from
the board will hold meeting, and by
means of school census or other
equally accurate methods, determine
the quota for each and every sub
league in Iron county and notify the
chairman of the sub-league to that eff
feet. He in turn will call a meeting
of his league committee and vote this
amount.
Many representative citizens of Iron
| County have been approached with
reference to this community plan and
without exception they approved Of II
as being the best and only means OF
taking care of the future drives. Many
of them suggested that at the end OF
the war the amounts left over in the
various league treasures be turned
over to the Red Cross as this will al
ways from now on be a necessary and
everlasting organization.
Supported by Supervisor Schaus and
unanimously adopted.
