According to the paper read By
the secretary all solicitors must ap.
ply for Blue Card to some desig.
mated local citizen who then con.
fers with a committee to investi.
gate the case If they deem il
worthy, dated card will be issued
which gives the solicitor the right
to make the rounds of the business
houses. However, even though the
solicitor does have a card it is not
necessary that the merchant do
nate, the card shows that proper
investigation of his case has been

Asks Support OF Rally
Ernie Wood was called upon next
by Mr.. Klehm. Mr.. Wood spoke on
behalf of the rally, staged by alum

the game Friday. In event they do
win this game they will still be in
the running for the district cham
plonship. There has been some agi-
tation among the merchants to close
stores from 2:30 to $3.50 tomorrow
afternoon in order that complete
support be given the team. This
point has not been definitely decid-
ed at time of publication.

that the Thompson Libby game
has been postponed therefore the
rally will not be heidi.

ways be interested in hearing of the
