In two successive Red Sundays held by Section 4, over 100+18 cents a week house-to-house carrier service readers were obtained.

First of all, it is a pleasure to see the favorable -re- sponse by the workers to our re- volutionary organ the Daily Worker. | Futhermore, to come in contact with the various elemens of the working class, to see the growth of the revolutionary movement, how the AWorkers“ look up to the ‘party to give--them leadership, and they would gladly follow. Never-before did I realize the great importance and the Significance of this work. I simply feel I can carry the mes- sage of Communism to the working class through this work, . therefore I don't mind the difficulties in- volved in it. But it is not always encouraging when you meet our so-called old timers, who breed pessimism. They will give you all the arguments about the short-comings in our party, even such as why did they send out a little girl like me and not a big husky instead, or telling you about the present unemployment situation therefore there is no use of trying to solicit Daily Worker subs, These comrades fail to see the readiness of the workers to sup- port the Daily Worker, their paper. So you see, courage is really needed, but as I said before, I don’t mind the troubles when there are prac- tical results as these—in Lawrence | three days—raised over $55.00, and also three other towns that came along pretty good. ¢ Comradely, —A.
