picking up the past week, and while
it will require some strenuous work
on the part of canvassers to- stir our
people up and get subscriptions
enough to bring the District to it's
full quota the committee feel con-
fident it will be done.
Arrangements are being made for
a public meeting in Rising Sun on
Friday afternoon, October is, at 3
o'clock. Speakers have been Sc
cured and efforts are being made to
have airplanes from the Proving
Grounds at Aberdeen visit our town
