Each man and woman contributing to | the war chest agrees to pay into the war chest a stipulated sum each month. Then when a call comes for funds for war purposes the quota of this community is taken from the war chest by the | committee and paid into the na- | tional fund and by this plan it is not necessary to call upon each | individual in the community. The war chest plan of handling all donations and contributions has been found to be the most ef- ficient and most satisfactory plan yet devised. Those communities | that have adopted this plan have |worked out a systematic plan of jhandling all civilian war work, whereby every person in the com- | munity does his share, and there- |fore the calls for aid do not fall heavy upon anyone. Every man ;supporting his country and our | enlisted men in accordance to his ability is the way the war chest | plan works out. Surely no one can refuse to do |what is their fair share in these |critical times. It is aimed that everyone shall be a member of the war chest so that no one will | be asked to take up the slack ‘left j | by the careless and indifferent. When thecommittee calls upon you, show your patriotism by |meeting them ina spirit of fair- ‘ness. Remember they are giving} | their time and effort to this plan) | in order to make it easier for you \and all of us to do “our bit.” Aspecial meeting of our war savings society is called to meet} | in Odd Fellows hall next Tuesday evening at8 o’clock.
