Sometime In the past George Visit
asvitch of Minneapolis signed paper
which turned out different from what
he supposed it would. He does not
talk United States or comprehend
the language. Thereupon he resolv-
ed never to sign paper. So when
draft officials asked him to sign up a
QUESTIONABLE George refused and
landed in jail. An indefinite stay
there does not scare him. Fight in
the army, yes, but no sign he told

To those who caro- 10 study the de-
tails Of how each penny has been
spent, printed statements covering
all War Fund appropriation are OBJ
tainable from Chapter chairmcn.
