fort is being made to secure the abest

The convention is designed to pro-
vide opportunity for all active war
workers to meet, exchange views and
coordinate their plans and to acquire
increased inspiration from men who
have a national and international per-
spective Of the war, and to discuss
local progress and local needs.
This Win the War Conference
which is planned by the Vermont Com
mittee Of Public Safety, is one Of a
series of big get-together meetings
being held in every state from the At

ity.
