ties found Il ready sale and about
$1,000. 100000 flowed into the Treas

department in four months. Factory
groups attended by SIT men were
held during which time. information

The regular citizenship classes held
twice a week in the public library
lad an attendance Of 1891 since
September, with an average of more
than fifty men at each meeting.

Besides the phases of work al !
ready mentioned, $50 people have
been helped in other ways through
personal interviews with the secre-
tary who has aided ex-service men
