If fl possible each donor should contact each person on his § PERSONALLY after they have received three or four jies of the paper, or failing this by phone or by mail, fs to get that sub nailed down tight! | The possibility that the North-Grey crisis may lead to og ederal election being called in the near future makes it aga more imperative that our sub drive should be tucked ag of the way by the end of January.

The figure yds at 624 today. Of this amount 467 have been im ived from city and North Vancouver branches, and the } ainder of 157 from outside points. Only three clubs have exceeded the sub quotas pro- 2d to them. North Vancouver is setting the pace, and 147 subs in has almost doubled its quota of 251.
