William Ravenor pointed out that the tempo would have to be
stepped up to achieve the objective within the time limit set.

“One of the encouraging features
of this campaign is the 155 sub-
scriptions already turned in,’ Ray-
enor stated, commenting that this
amounted to more than 50 percent
of the total revenue.

Out to win honors and leading
the ten committees holding highest
scores is Prince Rupert with 65.5
percent of its quota reached.

Close behind are ICOR with 57.5
percent and Enderby with an even
55 percent.

Other leaders include the Serb-
jan Club with 42.8 percent; Grand-

slim lead over Grandview.

Vancouver Centre has been aided
in its work by a sub-committee of
trade unionists, in which leading
position is held by the transporta-—
tion workers, followed by the elec-
tricians.

Committees returning the high-
est percentage of new subscribers
were particularly commended by
Ravenor. Matsqui, Mission, Prince
Rupert, Langley, Grandview and
Vancouver Centre hold the lead in
this section of the drive.
