The class was presented to
Madam Cargo by Mrs. Mary
call AD 3-2909.
The four main objectives of
the "Crusade for Voters” are :
1. To develop an organization
with solid foundation from the
block-workers tin 4hfi ’County
board of directors; 2. To sur¬
vey the whole county to find
out who is registered and how
long since they have voted,
find out wlio is eligible, and
why they are not registered,
then see to it that every per¬
son is registered; 3. To train
two blockworkers per block (one
on each side of the block) to
get every registered voter in
their block to vote on election
day; 4. To do as much work
the day after election as on elec¬
tion day.
i The Mole., organization has re-
! matned a closely knit one with
J scintilla ting meetings, where the
husband;:, called “Mules,” are a
part of the games and festivities
which follow.each interesting busi¬
ness meeting.
Me (lames Wilson and Calfee
were eo-hostesues at the anniver¬
sary meeting and the fun was
delightful with prizes being given
to the game-winning contestants,
after which a most delicious and
colorful supper was served.
Success and pride in their or¬
ganization, loyalty and sincere fel¬
lowship towards each member are
the attributes of each “ivtole.”
