PERTINENT FACTS
The Record

The Knights of Columbus are
ready to stand or fall upon their
record of the past.
During the darkest days of the
Great World War more than 70 of
the local Knights rallied to the col
ors and number made the supreme
sacrifice.
At the time of the United War
Work Campaign the Knights Of
Everett Council No. 763 emptied
their treasury and laid uncondition-
ally every dollar upon the sacrificial
altar Of a common service.
The Knights of Columbus have
cheerfully and literally supported
with money and service every fund
raising campaign instituted in Ever
EFT and Snohomish County.
Thus it is with a stainless record,
with conscience clear as the tones
of a bell, that the Knights appeal
to the generous citizens of Everett
and vicinity for help in raising one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for the erection and equipment of a
Community Center and War Memo
rial.
Those most familiar with the
spirit of the city are unanimous that
Everett will see it through; that
the citizens will rise to the oppor-
tunty to aid to the limit the Knights
of Columbus in this laudable and
praiseworthy effort to permanently
establish an institution that will
prove a benefit to the entire COM
munity.

ment, appreciation and financial sup
