Members of Townsend Clubs Using Set Plan in Drive for Membership An unusually effective plan of campaign for increasing membership, attendance and interest in Townsend Clubs has been devised and carried out under direction of Harry D. Riley, member of Anaheim, Calif., Townsend Club No. 2. The plan is particularly effective for communities of 12,000 population, but is adaptable to those which are either larger or smaller. Mr. Riley cut his City into two sections, each having twelve voting precincts and each possessing approximately the same population. He declared a "state of war" existed between the north and south areas, and non-members of Townsend clubs were designated as the "enemy". One side was named the Green army, the other the Grey army. Each section of the city was given a general, selected with care as being among the most interested and capable members of the club, Fred Palm as General of the "Greens" and Charles Staltz as general of the "Grays," whose territory was divided into three parts for four precincts each. A captain was assigned to each part, and a lieutenant was detailed to each precinct. Thus each of the two sections had a general, three captains, and twelve lieutenants. Workers, or "warriors" were needed. A special club meeting was called and the generals used the old-base-ball-lot plan of choosing their warriors, a baseball bat being provided for a hand-over-hand contest. In this manner each army was recruited. Each warrior was instructed to work in a designated precinct and not trespass in another territory. Each worker was supplied with a may of his district or precinct and instructed he was entirely responsible for its coverage. Each was given proper credentials and membership books. Each was drilled until he knew exactly what was expected of him and the best way to go about accomplishing it. A date, June 15th, was set for hostilities to cease.

Each worker was supplied with a may of his district or precinct and instructed he was entirely responsible for its coverage. Each was given proper credentials and membership books. Each was drilled until he knew exactly what was expected of him and the best way to go about accomplishing it. A date, June 15th, was set for hostilities to cease. The hour arrived for every warrior to shoulder his membership books and jump into the attack. Progress during the ensuing battle was recorded daily upon a "war scoreboard". Each warrior could know exactly where his army stood in the contest and what had to be done to win. The score is recorded on a board with a map of our Nation painted on it and showing the names of twenty of our most important cities, requiring five new members to make the "leg" between each city-Washington and Kansas City (Belltown) are among the cities listed. Two small paste-board soldiers, one painted green and the other grey are thumb-tacked on the map to record the progress of each army. Victory, of course, was to be decided upon the basis of new members enrolled. However, victory was not arranged to be merely an empty boast. Something definite had to be arranged to reward the winners and humiliate the conquered. That something was a dinner. At the outset it was stipulated that the army bringing in the fewest number of new members should provide and serve a chicken din- A torture cult styled the "Black Ku Klux Klan, is believed to have continued their investigation in worker.

He stopped speaking and started coying a message Dr. Evarts which was coming through his car-phones from Cheyenne. "Situation critical," it rallied "Patient may die." "I'll take it back to him," Jack. "Mmm! That's too bad," the doctor's only comment. But Palmer was more inquiring as usual. "How come he's sitting messages over your radio he inquired, nodding toward grey-haired physician. "He's got a critical case in Co he has to keep in touch with But he says he's a New York specialist." Palmer shook his hand. The ship was met at Salt Lake by Pop Andrews, just as had expected. "Hi-ya, you old smoke-eater grinned the pilot. 'This is Rollins, Pop Andrews. How am I it, Pop, was that girl abord?' "Yep." Andrews shifted chew and nodded vigorously, itials on her bag were K.L.R. "Thanks, Pop." Jack poured him on the back, then added "We've only got a few minutes here—and I gotta put on my new key suit and fly the next leg. Look after Miss Rollins, will you." "If you expected her to get here she fooled you—went right on," said the old man when and the girl were alone. "Nope. She was walking up down with a kind of forelockin' feller." "That train gets into San Francisco at ten tomorrow morning." "If she's on time." "FAULT" MURDER EXCITES DETROIT "Well! Little Freddy making hocus-pocus," shouted Jack. "Come on in, it's all right." The co-pilot was not even slightly embarrassed. "Yeah — it looked all right to me!" "Want to try one?" Freddy grinned. "Are you passing them around?" Jack looked at the pretty, dark-haired girl, a little taken aback. "It's an old Spanish custom," she answered, blushing. "To kiss the bride, you know." "Well for . . ." He grabbed her and kissed her heartily. "You two mugs! When was it?" "It wasn't. It will be . . ." interposed Fred. "As soon as we get to San Francisco." "Then I get another kiss—as long as you're only a birde-to-be. Hey, Pete—come kiss the bride!" "Congratulations, Ann," laughed the weather man. "Nice work, Fred." "He didn't do the work—I did," Ann began. She was interrupted by a voice over the radio. "Reno to Salt Lake—ceiling 500 feet—visibility two miles — fair over the Sierra Hump — clear in Sacramento Valley . . ." "That's good enough," said Jack. "We can climb through this stuff and stay above it till we get there." "Yeah?" chimed in Freddy doubtfully. "I've seen clouds so thick Professor Picard couldn't out-climb 'em." "You can always follow the railroad tracks," Pete called after them as they hurried out of the plane. But Jack was stopped waiting room by Stephani. "I want to talk to you the Count in a business-liner." "Make it snappy. things to do." "How would you like $5,000," Stephani inquire after looking around to see they were alone. "I'd love to.

As she entered the office she almost bumped into Palmer who was coming out, staring at a message which he had received in answer to one he had sent in Omaha. "NO JAMES L. EVARTS IN NEW YORK DIRECTORY CAREFUL," it read. Palmer's eyes narrowed as he digested the meaning of the wire. Then he walked over to Evarts, who was admiring the distant mountains. “How they comin', Doc?" he inquired familiarly. “Everything seems pleasant, thank you.” Did you say your office was in New York City?" The physician nodded. "I used to know about a Dr. Evarts on Madison Avenue. You the same one?" I've never had an office on Madison." "I just wondered." Palmer turned away, frustrated. As Jack stood in the locker-room buttoning on his uniform, "Yeah?" chimed in Freddy doubtfully. "I've seen clouds so thick Professor Picard couldn't out-climb 'em."

You the same one?” “I've never had an office on Madison.” “I just wondered.” Palmer turned away, frustrated. As Jack stood in the locker-room buttoning on his uniform, Pete Steven, the weather bureau man, came in. “Well, if it isn't Uncle Sam's little weather boy," chuckled the pilot, surveying the wizened youngster. "How's it behaving West?" "Lovely—Shafter fair — Elko—bad—Battle Mountain worse—and from there on until Reno—zero—no ceiling—no visibility." "That's a swell way to greet a pal." Jack was dead serious. "When did you get these reports?" "Eight o'clock." "How's the emergency field at Halleck?" "Swell if you stay on the runways—but you won't have any trouble. You're the best pilot on the line." Then, as Jack, taking it big, thrust out his chest, Pete added: "At least you've always said so." "Yeah?" The pilot's face fell. "Well, I still say so." "No kidding, Jack." Pete's voice was anxious. "It don't look so hot." "Who's my co-pilot," inquired Jack. "That's darned important when the weather's bad." "Freddy Scott," answered the weather man. "Little ole Freddie, huh? What a break! Come on. Let's talk to Elko." In the weather report room they found Scott and Ann McKenna, the new stewardess, in a tight embrace. There is nothing quite so discouraging to a housewife as seeing lettuce, celery, tomatoes and other vegetables shrink and dry up. This is caused by improper refrigeration. You say your vegetables are cold. Certainly! But cold alone is not enough! Proper food preservation depends on four things: Cold air—humid air—correct temperature and air circulation! You get these four essentials only in a modern, air-conditioned ice refrigerator, the cheapest, safest and most reliable method of perfect food preservation. Ask your ice service man or your local ice company to demonstrate one of these smart-looking, modern air-conditioned ice refrigerators There is a difference! Anaheim, Calif., May 28, 1936 them as they hurried out toward the plane. But Jack was stopped in the waiting room by Stephani. "I want to talk to you," began the Count in a business-like manner. "Make it snappy. I've got things to do." "How would you like to earn $5,000," Stephani inquired softly after looking around to be sure they were alone. "I'd love to. How many people do I have to kill?" "Oh, no. Nothing like that." The nobleman hesitated, then hurried on. "I've seen the reports. The weather ahead is bad. Very well. If you should be forced down away from the railroad and couldn't get started again—say until tomorrow morning . . . It can't harm anyone. I'd naturally expect you to pick out a safe field—away from the railroad. The bad weather gives you a logical excuse . . ." "五 thousand dollars is a lot of dough." Jack seemed to be considering it seriously. "And I could use it . . ." "The answer is?" Stephani's black eyes were snapping. "The answer is, you can take your $5,000, get it changed into nickels and grab rides on a roller coaster." Jack shook off Stephani's hand. The latter looked after him angrily, then strode toward the ticket desk. "I want to protest against this plane taking off," he shouted at the clerk. "This man." He pointed at Jack, "is deliberately concealing the facts. The weather west is bad—so bad that trying to fly through it will needlessly endanger the lives of the passengers. Where is your manager — your superintendent?" "I'm flying this ship, Mr. Stephani," Jack came over to the desk, trying to control his desire to sock the Russian. "We know what the weather is and it's good enough to take a shot at." "It's suicide," yelled Stephani at the other passengers who had come in to find out the cause of the commotion. "You don't have to go — the Company will refund the unused portion of your ticket." He turned and stamped out in fury. "You were talking to Gregorie." Felice caught the pilot's arm as he started down the runway. "What did he say to you?" "He's a . . ." Jack pressed his two thumb nails together expressively. "Offered me $5,000 to make a forced landing." "Oh, you mustn't!" she gasped. "You don't dare!" "Listen, Lady—I've been pushing mail and passengers through since they gave up covered wagons—my record for trying to get there is perfect and I'm not gonna spoil it now." "I'm sorry — I shouldn't have said that." She pressed his arm almost tenderly.
