 Sees Mayor Curtis.
 In speaking of recent interview with Mayor Curtis concerning the drive, Captain Gabrielson said the mayor wondered if it were possible to hold off until January and com pine this with community chest and a Children's Home drive. He replied that the army would be only too glad to join in any united drive and that in most cities, in fact practically all | except New Britain, where there was war chest, the Salvation Army was part of the chest. He said he spoke to Miss Cora NJ. Beale, executive sec rotary of the New Britain Welfare as soCiation, concerning this matter and was advised by Miss Beale after she i had taken the matter up with the head of her board of directors, to file written application, which Captain Gabrelson said would be done,
 No Drive Next Month. He further added that he had in Vcstigated and found no community l drive was contemplated next month. that the community chest is more apt to borrow money to tide it's organiza- tons over until April, when the an nual drive will commence.
 The army feels it impossible at this time, especially in view of the fact that we haven't asked for any money for over two years and a half," l j1 "a nj ai i,o oJo til April for our budget"
