They will also supply materials and instructions to organizations and individuals who wish, to serve their country in this way. The organization contemplates cen- trally-located branches in all parts of the province to the end that evei-y individual may share in the work. For this purpose Branches select re- presentatives from all parts of the district to be served _ to act on the directorate and to take charge of the activities in their localities. Fifteen hundred dollars has been set as the objective for this district. The funds are used for the purchase of wool and other materials required by the oi-ganization and are complet- ely under the control of the local branches.
