CARGHL COUNCIL.
WANTS A HOME
Three Hundred Members Can
Swing One and the Council
Is Going After Them.
Orgsnizs ton Has Been Lauded For
Work During the War.

Cargill Council, X. of c., wants a
home of its own 1t has outgrown
halls and is still growing. 1t is a
healthy, mature organization and it
wants to follow the example of hun
dreds of other councils in the country
by having a building all its own
which it can call 'home."
The K. of c., has been lauded for
the great work it has done in this
country and overseas during the war.
1t has raised thousands and thous-
ands of dollars that have been spent
to make life pleasanter, easier and
happier for the boys in khaki and
the blue of Uncle Sans navy. 1t
has put its shoulders to the wheel in
every locality to assist in all sorts
of drives. 1t has proved itself an
organization of broad ideas and well
coined to its huts and camps boys
of every denomination and many are
now alive to say God bless the
K. of C.
Cargill Council of Putnam has not
been lacking in its efforts 1t has con-
tributed its quota to every call 1t
has held mass meetings, it has APP
pointed committees to work with 9TH
err organizations for the good of all.
1t has shown itself live, progressive
council with officers capable of care
full planning and execution.
Cargill Council already has over
200 members. On Sunday, January
5th, it will initiate a class of IS, add
ing that many more to its member
ship roll. 1t will not stop here. Plans
are being made for another big mem
bership drive. The goal is a class of
100 members. This accomplished,
the matter of K. of C. home in Put
nam will be taken up in earnest.
The K. of c. numbers among its
members some well to do citizens and
it is understood that tentative offers
of contributions have been made if
the project once gets sufficient head
way. Not only is home needed but
it is believed that such an institution
would attract many more members.
From experiences of the past it is
