Though rather late in making the
start in the town of Windham cam
paign for the sum of $4,000 for the Sal
walton Army fund, nevertheless a start
was made Thursday and preliminary
plans put into action. There is no To-
cal branch of the Salvation Army in
the town and as there was no per-
feeted organiza ton to raise its quota
no effort was made until Thursday. It
was known, however, that many peo-
pie in the town were willing and anX-4
ious to- subscribe to the fund. and the
matter was brought UP for consider
alton at the weekly meeting of the
Elks Wednesday night, A committee
consisting of Valentine Murphy. Dan
| iel P. Dunn. Charles W. Alpaugh,
Charles W. Hill and Frank Lombardo
was appointed to formulate plans for
raising the : QUOTA. The campaign
closes next Monday night and owing
t othe short time left. a complete or
ganization could not be effected for
carrying on the drive so the commit
tee must depend on the cooperation
of the people in general and the help
of the merchants factories. schools
and fraternal organiza tons. Canvass
ers will be busy anywhere and ev-
erywhere from now until Monday
night and subscriptions may be left at
the Liberty Cottage, and the stores of
Frank I0Ip 5afdo and Former Mayor
Daniel P Dunn. The committee has
designated Saturday as Dougnut Day,
a plan so successfully carried out in
other towns as means to help raise
their respective quotas. Every house
keeper in the town is being asked and
urged to make at least a dozen dough-
nuts and deliver them to the vacant
store of Fl. T. Clarke on Church street
before 9 o'clock Saturday morning
where they will be put on sale. High
school and Normal school students are
to be asked to CO. operate by helping
sell the. doughputs on all the streets
of the town. Any and all volunteers
who wish to help in this eleventh
hour drive may hand in their names to
any member of the committee or reg
lister at the stores of Daniel P. Dunn
or Frank Lombardo. A quick, thor
ough canvas of the citizens is what is
wanted and it can be accomplished
