With the election of officers to serve the ensuing year and with the adoption of resolutions pledging steadfast, un- divided allegiance to the support of the country and the president in the pres- ent great struggle for the freedom of humanity, recommending the purchase of Liberty bonds and thrift stamps and the erection of a recreation camp at Camp Harry Jones at Douglas, the eleventh annual meeting of the State Council of the Knights of Columbus concluded it's sessions yesterday. A banquet at the Woman's club last evening, followed by an interesting program, brought an end to the social features of the meeting.
 Reports made at yesterdays business session indicated that Arizona has al- ready raised about S31 900 in the great war fund drive and a pladge was made that the committees will continue at work until $50,000 or more has been raised among the councils of the state. The need of recreation facilities at Douglas was pointed out in a state ment showing that there are approxi- mately 1000 soldiers stationed there and that the Knights of Columbus have so far given little attention to this branch of the work in that district.
