WEEKS FIGURES SHOW DRIVE
IN INCREASING PACE; GET
new SUBSCRIBERS ACTIVE

informal as you like, and they can
be made so interesting to workers in
the neighborhood.
Write to us and we will send you
suggestions for the first meeting OF
such group. Social affairs, work
ers' correspondence, discussions are
all possible in Friends of the Daily
Worker groups. You can also get
special rates on a correspondence
course in the Fundamentals of Com
munism for the entire group, which
is offered by the Workers School
This course includes not only ex-
cellent material for study, but queS-
tions at the end of each lesson,
which the group discusses as a
whole and to which the group mails
its answers. These answers are very
carefully analyzed by a trained
Marxist-Leninist in the Workers
School, and criticisms are mailed
back to the group, with suggested
model answers.
Let this week therefore see the
formation of new Friends Of the
Daily Worker groups. Let this week
also mark the setting of new pace
in the Daily Worker drive. Get the
new subscribers active in the cam
paign. Let the campaign proceed in
widening circles util the entire
country is covered and no working
class neighborhood and no factory
or mine is left still outside the work
crs' struggles against the bosses
wage cut and starvation attacks.
The daily worker., 1932-01-07

The figures for last week, through
last Friday, in the campaign for 5000
subscriptions to the Daily Worker,
are encouraging, not so much be-
cause of what has already been &C
eomplisheo as because of the indi-
cations they give that the drive is
increasing its pace. Up to the end
of last Friday a total Of 7,473 months
of subscriptions came in, represent
ing 2,130 subscribers. While the
New York district leads with f,474
. months of subs, with Chicago in q
close second with 1871 and Detroit
third with 1000 Connecticut is in
the lead in regard to the percentage
filled OF its quota, Is per cent. De-
troit comes next with 20.7 per cent,
and New York third with 1872 per
cent. The total through last Friday
is 1872 per cent of the entire goal.
With last Sundays figures, the sub
scriptions pass the 1870 mark. It is
now up to every district to come up
to Connecticut's record and reach
at least $3.50 of it's quota as quickly
as possible.
One shortcoming Of the drive so
far is the slow spread Of the Friends
of the Daily Worker groups. The
number of such groups is still 43, no
new ones having been formed, last
week. Yet these groups are valuable
aids in getting Daily Worker sub
scriptions and become permanent al
lies of the Daily Worker in all Daily
Worker activities. The groups are
so easily formed. They can be as
