Directors in charge Of the various
districts for the drive which will be
carried on here next Tuesday and
Wednesday to complete the Phoenix
Elks' new home. already are be-
ginning to line up their forces and
make plans for whirlwind cam
paign through their territory.
Guy Alsap, director for District
No. Z, which is within the immediate
downtown district, has invited his
four precinct directors. Il. l.. O'Mal-
ley, Charles T.. Morton, r. E. Grace
and ]. III. O'Reilly to a luncheon in
Donofrio's today at noon, when they
will formulate a policy for waging
the campaign through their territory.
THE big factor in the forthcom-
ing drive for the Elks' home is the
purely business nature of the whole
proposition" said Mr. AIsop. mo
member is being asked to make a
contribution or donation, but simply
to devote a certain amount of money
to a sound investment which will
pay returns. The drive seeks only to
put over huge business deal and for
that reason ! believe it will prove
the greatest success"

with their lieutenants in arranging
definite plans for putting over the
campaign in their districts. Between
next Monday morning and Wednes-
day night more than 120 workers will
clean up the city districts, obtain
ing subscriptions for some 700 mem
bers, who constitute almost the en-
tire Phoenix roll of the lodge.
In addition to these forces special
'flying squadron" is being recruited.
Its duty will be to go out and find
ABOUT llS other members whose per-
sonal addresses are unknown to the
directors but who live in Phoenix.
Announcement also has been made
that plans are in the course of prep
aration to carry on the drive among
members OF the local lodge who live
outside the city and county. These
include several hundred members re-
siding In Globe, Tucson, Jerome, Bis
bee, Douglas, Nogales, Flagstaff,
Florence, Ajo Tombstone. Prescott
