The meeting called for last Satur-
day afternoon of the summer property
owners TO talk over the Fighting
Fourth" Liberty Loan was fiat fail
ure. Only two of them showed any
interest in Dorset's part Of this work.
We take it they are fully acquainted
with the towns needs and are ar
ranging to do their share when the
drive" starts. Last spring all were
informed by letter and few respond
ed. Others answered that they had
taken all they had planned for at their
winter homes. If they had known in
time they would have taken part
through their summer town. This
time Dorset hopes they will all ar
range to have Dorset receive the
credit of at least one-fourth of what
they may subscribe. AS soon as the
"drive" starts, which will be on the
2Sth of this month, the committee
will hold a series of meetings in the
different villages Of the township at
which good speakers will address our
people and our school children are ex-
pected to give short patriotic pro-
gram. Residents Of Dorset are all
urged to plan to attend these meet
ings and to go prepared to keep up
the fine record Dorset has made in the |
past.
