S. chairman, due to the fact that some of the old chairmen have refused to help out Uncle Sam now that the war is over, and he is having difficulty in securing others to show that they are ready to prove their patriotism and show heir apprieciation toward the boys who have done their duty. It should be considered an honor to serve as County Chairman for the W. S. S. and "those asked should be willing to sacrifice something to help at th'is time.' We trust that Director Odell will be able to supply us a list of the chairmen so that the work can go forward and the campaign of thrift make great- er headway. ' .
