ment which is innate in all militant
progressives, the central drive com-—
mittee has decided to publish an
honor roll, not only as a means of
boosting the drive, but also to ac-
quant readers of the labor-progress-—
ive press with efforts of various
committees and individuals.

On this honor roll will be placed
names of nom-de-plumes of all sup-
porters raising not less than $5 in
sub sales and donations between Oct.
1 and Nov. 15; names of all commit-
tees, members of which raise an
average of $2.50 each, and commit-
tees and mass organizations exceed-
ing quotas by one-fifth or more. All
information for this honor roll must
reach the district office by Novem-
ber 20.

Special mention for work done in
the drive this week goes to O. Salo-
nen, who possibly has accomplished
more than any other individual in
Vancouver.

Donations acknowledged include:

Quesnel, $14.25; Smithers, $1.50;
Surrey, $6.25; ICOR, $1.50 jomt sub
for Spain; Lasqueti Island, $1.75;

Bay, $10.25.

The remarkable total of 92 per cent
of its quota was reached Wednesday
noon by the relatively weak press
committee in Hastings Hast, which

needs only $9.57 before midnight,
Sunday, to reach its goal. Unless
another committee makes a last
minute spurt, Hastings Bast will

have the honor of being first to com-
plete its quota by October 31.
