and start the work.
There is no use Of making this drive
long. drawn out affair" was the cx-
preston of one member of the board
this morning. I'VE want to get it over
with rs soon as possible. and the work
of the committee members will deter
mine how soon il can be accompli shed.
We have been fortunate in securing cx-
ccllent workers. men and women who
are interested in the work this organi-
zation has done and proposes 10 do.
and they viii conclude the work in the
shortest possible time. We propose 10
give every resident of the city an op-
portunity to assist the Volunteers OF
America in carrying on their work in
Brownsville. and every home and bust
ness place will be visited by committee
members. ",
The people of Brownsville are re-
questcd to assist in facilitating the work
Of the committee. Practically every
resident of the city il now aware of the
purpose of the drive and the necessity
for active cooperation in maintaining
the work the Volunteers are doing IN
this city. and they should be prepared
20 make their subscriptions promptly,
thereby assisting the committees in
avoiding delay"
