At the meeting of the team captains
| and committees in charge of the local
Near East drive Friday night at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms it was
shown upon checking up the reports
which have been turned in that this
district is about $1,000 short of
reaching it's quota of $500. Twelve
| team captains have not as yet reported
| and the campaign committee earnestly
request their reports at the earliest
possible moment. 1t was announced at
! the meeting that this drive would not
be finished, or brought to a close, I'M
| til the desired amount, $4,000, had been
! turned in. 1t had been hoped that a
better showing than the above would
have been made on Friday night.
There are of course some outlying dis
tricts to be heard from in addition to
| the twelve team captains reports and
| with little more pep" on the part
| of the canvassers Willlmantic will go
| over the top rs it always has done in
| such matters.
