that amount.
The opportunity to enroll as Vic
tory Boy will be given to every boy
of Gunnison county thru deputy in
each school district, at least ninety
boys of this county should enroll, and
it is hoped and expected that many
more will join the Victory Boys.
The benefits of this movement are
three fold: First the raising of
money; second, the inspiration and
stimulus which will come to older
people thru the sacrifice. of the boys;
third and most important, the soul
development of the boys which will
follow their conservation to great
cause. Their pledge to earn and give
should bring conception of the
significance of sacrifice to the cause
of righteousness. This sacrifice will
greatly aid in the reconstruction Pc
riOd after the war.

give to make his fighter happy thru
| the work of the seven organizations
in the united war work campaign.

amount needed in the campaign,
which is to raise $17O,5OO,OOO.

to earn and actually give SIS. Boys
who pay the hard price is the real
goal
DIR. Mott, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee and Director general
of the United War Work campaign
says "By their work, and their gifts.
their sacrifice, these boys will exert
great influence on multitudes of
others. They will be having a most
vital part and most practical part
bringing comfort and cheer to our
mi lions of soldiers and sailors. They
will be identifying themselves with
the great purpose of our nation and
the Allies"
Bishop Muldoon. chairman Nation
al Catholic War Council. says. "a boy
or girl by enlisting in the Earn and
Give Divisions can have direct per-
sonal part in the great World War.
Each of them can thus fight and help
win. What an inspiration it will be
to each of our fighters to know that
one bow or one girl has earned and
! given SIS for his comfort and cheer" /"
