5. l. A. 10 RALLY
 FOR SCHOOL TAX
WILL VISIT MERCHANTS
Committee of Women will Urge More Universal and Impartial Collection
 of Conway School Aid Funds.

After hearing talks by Mrs. 5. c. Smith, member of the school bcara, Supt. R. E. Womack and others, show ing that the maintenance of the school Is still in peril on account of it's finan- cial condition and only by the continu. ed collection of the sales and luxury taxes can it continue to be operated the Conway School Improvement As. sociation yesterday afternoon adopted resolutions calling for a more univer- sal and impartial collection of these taxes and appointed a committee to visit every business house in the city and to urge better enforcement of the sales tax plan. Mrs. Opie t. Hartje, chairman of the association, appointed Mrs. Frank E. Robins chairman of the committee and di- rected her to name sufficient num- Der of members to make the calls as directed.
 It was especially desired that each merchant include the sales tax in mak- ing out his monthly bills to his cus- toners at the end of the present month. Members of the s. I. A. were also urged to insist upon the tax be. ing added to their bills and cash pur- chases and to request also that it be Icollected from all persons in the dis
 trict subject to paying it. The state
 ment was made that the merchants had signed a binding pledge to make
 these collections, but that some os them were disregarding it.
 The meeting was one of the most largely attended ever held by the as- sociation, and a large number of new members were received. Many urgent requests for assistance along various lines came from the various grades of the school. The association decided to provide table linen, silver and dishes for the domestic science department, and these were purchased today by Mrs. P. F. Cleaver for the association.
