Space forbids a detailed report of Mr. Havorka’s address, but the principal thought was that we must not whine when taxed for war purposes or asked to contribute to the various agencies working to make the life of our boys abroad all that it is possible to make it. This is the least service we can render and It should be done cheerfully and graciously. The meeting closed by the entire audience singing ‘‘America" with an enthusiasm thAt made the hall ring.
