JACKSON CITIZENS
 PLANNING ALOCAL | SOLDIER MEMORIAL
Citizens Also Go on Record as Supporting Campaign of State Memorial
 Commission

Scottsboro. April 22. Especially
 Meeting for the sole purpose of begin ming a movement for the erection of a county memorial for Jackson county soldiers, citizens of this county who recently formed an organization with the one purpose of commemorating the deeds, valor and sacrifices of their own boys met late last week and went on record by a unanimous vote to sup port the state campaign of the Ala bama memorial comm ission.
 A resolution endorsing the erection of the state memorial was adopted and individual members declared that they would get behind the drive, which will begin June 27 and will assist in putting Jackson over the top.
 Although the basis for the quota of Jackson county has not been agreed upon, it is declared that this county
 will make or exceed the quota. The suggestion for the quota which re- ceived the most favorable consideration
 was that the counties be asked to sub
 scribe certain amount for each sol-
 dier, sailor and marine called into the
 service of the nation from their politi-
 cal subdivisions. It is understood here
 that the executive committee of the
 Alabama memorial commission is favor
 able to the suggestion that the county quotas be on the basis of $6 for each soldier, sailor and marine.
 In addition to supporting the state memorial campaign, Jackson county con- templates the erection of county mem orial in recognition of the services Of it's own soldiers. This memorial will be constructed by the county memorial association. All citizens are eligible to membership in this association by the payment of n small membership fee When sufficient funds are raised, mem- bers will decide what form the memorial shall take.
