The Successful Work of

Chairman, and Her
Busy Canvassers

With from six to eight women
working on each of the Is districts in
St. Johnsbu1y, the Fighting Fourth
Liberty Loan drive made fine start
on Saturday, Sept. 28, the women
alone securing $26,350 that day.
Several districts have more than
doubled their last loan subscriptions.
East Village, with Miss Bertha Lee
as captain, went four times over; st.
Johnsbury Center, with Mrs. Ernest
Morrill, captain, made wonderful
gains, IS did also Arlington, Mrs Os-
car Cummings captain.
On Thursday Mrs. Alvin Flint Wis
tied all the schools centrally located
and presented "Boy and Grip posters
in each room, and also spoke briefly
to the pupils in regard to the loan.
The junior high school was prepar-
ing to hold special program with
display and description of the full set
of posters especially designed for the
Fighting Fourth Loan, in fact every
thing was organized and ready to
start when the epidemic of influenza
made it necessary to close every
thing, schoC1s included. Despite this
and the Gownpour on the evening Of
the first meeting of the mems and
Women'5 committees at the Almory
the women's committee attended in
almost full numbers, thus showing
their patriotic and loyal spirit, which
has characterized their efforts from
start TO finish. The women have
shown beautiful spirit of coopera-
ton with tho men, and have been un-
tiring in their efforts to get subscrip-
tions Tor "Uncle Sam" Several
women's organizations have sub
scribed for bonds of this as well as
other issues, thus showing their pa
triotism. To the women of st.
Johnsbory who have so generously
subscribed to this loan; to the cap
talns of the several districts, and the
solicitors who have worked with me
SO faithfully to help carry on" and
/ do our part in this great national
movement, | take this opportunity to
extend my grateful appreciation and
heartfelt thanks.
