TEN MEDFOHD MAIL THIBUHB ' Sunday. Jan. it. 1943 i f I 1 ELKS CLUB SEEK C. C. Leonard, exalted ruler of the local Elks lodge, has an nounced that the lodge, in co operation with national head quarters of the Elks' war com mission in New York City, would embark on a campaign to obtain books for distribution to seamen of the merchant marine, lighthouse service, coastguard and maritime training stations.

Nich olson, chairman, Elks' war com- mission, New York, which said,: "Once again Elks are called upon to render a much-needed patri otic service. Whereas, the gov ernment appropriates large sums each year to buy books for the army and navy, they make no such appropriation for the mer chant marine the men who keep the sea lanes loaded with supplies for the army and navy. Therefore we are asked to assist the American Merchant Marine Library association in their ef forts to supply this reading ma terial, which is often the only means of recreation open to these seamen for long periods of time." Goal of the drive Is "A book from every member of the Elks for the jnen Who go down to the sea in ships.
