REMEMBERING THE SOLDIERS Much has been said about the Soldiers Comfort Association in this column in connection with the weekly meetings and the various appeals made for friends. In fact, it may seem that its importance has been magnifled 1 out of all due proportion. But have you stopped to consider the unique position this organization has held, being practically the only body of its kind hereabouts designed to look after the comforts of all the boys in the service of Uncle Sam from the home town? And having provided Christmas kits for ninety- four menall the men for whom they had correct addresses would it be wise or in conformity with the local spirit to let the work drop now and not take care of the boys who may leave in future? Of course it would not, and the men actively interested in the association intend to. keep the movement alive. They have started a new campaign to interest people, It is taking the shape of special meetings.

The first was held Tuesday evening when Richof Wilkes -Barre delivered interesting address and a musical was given. At the next regular meeting Attorney Evan C. ones of Wilkes- Barre will deliver a patriotic address and a good program will be given. Although the first meeting of this kind was not very well attended, high hopes are entertained for the succeding ones, as it is not believed the people were prepared for the first. It is felt that when the people are fully aware of what the organization is up against they will come forward unhesitatingly with the support they have never withheld from any worthy undertaking in the past.

The women of the town have rendered great service in knitting sweaters for the comfort kits, and Mrs. McBride, who has charge of the assigning of the work, has agreed to have knit all garments that are required for which the association, of course, furnishes the yarn. A list of those who have made sweaterg will be published in due time. Just at present there are several projects for raising funds for the asI sociation. on The contesting of a handsome hand painted pillow cover, books for which are now out; the community concert in January; the "Our Duty" Club dance, and the regular voluntary contributions.

It is also expected that funds will be raised soliciting, the committees' for which will be named later. Over $800 has already been for sweaters and the other contented the comfort kits. The sweaters alone cost Burke, Harvey Nelson, Philip ick, James M. Duffy, William O. Sword, Charles W.
