Show DRIVE UNDERWAY TO CREATE GUARD FUND Through the sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis club, and the Junior Chamber of Commerce, plans are underway to create a regimental fund in this community to be used by the local unit during their year's encampment encamp-ment beginning shortly after the new year. The fund raised will be used to provide money for "extras" not furnished by the government. These "extras" include the purchase pur-chase of such things as athletic equipment, funds for social activities, activi-ties, movies, treats for the table-and table-and other items to make their duties du-ties a little more pleasant. During the World War such a fund was raised and did much to help the morale of the men in the field and the need for such a fund is as pressing now as then. ( The drive will be at its heighth and will culminate during the week of January 6 to 11, inclusive, in-clusive, which is being proclaimed proclaim-ed National Guard Week by the governor. |
