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.
The local campaign will be
directed by Frank Rogers, war
committee chairman of Medford
lodge.
In making the announcement
Mr. Leonard quoted from a let
ter received from James R. 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. ' There are 650,
000 members of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks in
1409 lodges, and it is hoped that
one million books will be col
lected and distributed by the
time the campaign ends in Feb
ruary. All members of the commun
ity, are invited to donate books.
All types of books are accept
ableold, new, text, reference,
historical, novels, biographies or
technical books on any subject.
Books should bs mailed or de
livered to Elks Club, Medford,

VERY few people can afford
to have infantile paralysis . . . :
can afford the expensive
treatment necessary to combat the
disease; and yet infantile paralysis
does not investigate your bank
account before it strikes. However,
through the generous contributions
to the Infantile Paralysis Fund all
victims of poliomyelitis may re
ceive treatment. Remember when
you make your contribution this
year that your money will help
bring recovery to children and
adults crippled by polio . . . and .
will aid in extensive and important
research on the cause and cure of
the disease .... research will pro
tect you, your children, your community.
