K. OF C. FUND IS NEAB GOAL More Than SBB,OOO of Needed SIIO,OO Is In. % More than SBB,OOO of the SIIO,OOO for refinancing the council of the Knights of Columbus already is subscribed, officials announced today. All groups of the second division, of which W. Schnorn is manager, have “gone over the top.” Frank Rosier, representing the MartsLundy Corporation, has lauded workers. He predicts that Indianapolis council, like other organizations which have adopted this plan, will subscribe fully the quota. The refinancing is done voluntarily by members advancing sums to the councils, thus establishing an estate, the definite sum loaned to the council being returned to the members’ beneficiaries with 50 per cent added. This is made possible through the council providing an insurance policy for 50 per cent more than the subscription. Campaign workers meet daily at 6 p. m. for dinner and reports of progress. The drive is under general leadership of James E. Gavin, former grand knight, assisted by James E. Deery, district deputy, and William Schnorr and Harry' Calland, both former grand knights.
