moSations was launched yesterday

ton of tickets to be given all dom
ors was begun.
The decision to proceed with the
campaign was reached at a business
meeting of Civilians Monday eve
ming at the bus station.
Under a proposal tentatively &C
cepted by school authorities, the
Civilian Club will undertake a long
range program to provide adequate
facilities and equipment for athlet-
les in Tabor City. They will make

their top project and the program
will be handled by the Civitan Ath-
letic Council composed of three Civ
itans, principal Of the school system
and the school coach.

paign and any subsequent drives

gate receipts will be administered
by the council. On this body for
the Forthcoming year are Dr.. Ross
M. Williamson, Phil Hughes, r. M.
Carroll, Jr., Principal c. H. Primer.
and Coach S. w. Caruso.
Possibility that an unnamed friend
of the school may give the lighting
equipment for night play was rum
ored.

Civitan campaign was to raise SUI
i ficient funds to place permanent
fence around the athletic field.
At the close of the drive, data OF
which will be announced shortly, a
new Chevrolet automobile will be
given free to one of the contributors.
However, Civilians emphasized that
the awarding of a new car was
merely an incentive and pointed out
that contributions would be solicited
on the merit of the plan to provide
a rounded athletic program for the
youth of Tabor City and vicinity.
All members of the Civitan Club,
| together with other interested citi-
Gems in this and surrounding COM
munities, will be called upon to
