structural soundness of the present arena indicates that the building is adaptable to this expansion mayor goy in addressing the canvassers tuesday ovoning said this project will be of direct benefit to every citizen of acton there is no more worthy cause one of the qualifications of a canvasser is to make his own personal pledge this has been one of the policy de cisions of the fund commit the committee itself pledged beforo any other citizen was asked to pledge other groups mat have pledged their own personal gifts have been the members of the municipal council the fire fighters associa tion the lions club the ys mens club and the rotary club now all the canvassers have pledged which brings the total pledged to 10420 before the campaign officially starts the canvaiie7swillstart tonight to telephone for p- pointmenls to call at your home during the week of may 15 they wish to visit you to help you prepare your own personal pledge one point the canvassers have been instructed not to do is to attempt to high pressure any citizen it is felt the broad appeal of the campaign will not make tfiisnecessary because the committee feels sure every citizen will do his utmost to support the campaign to ensure its success the only way we can ensure this success is to pledge to the best of our ability and to pledge now chairman john goy declared when the canvatserceffa at your home he would like to talk to all members of the family together he will explain the project and answer any questions you may have to the best of his ability he will help you complete the pledge form and leave you a temporary receipt he will present you with your money back guarantee your window sticker and lapel buttons which will indicate you have supported the project he will thank you for your pledge during the campaign the progress toward the objective will be recorded daily on the campaign indicator at the front of the post office- upon tho completion of the canvass all pledges will be totalled and when the total of 60000 in pledges has been achieved the go ahead will be given for the construction of the centre when the amount pledged by the individual has been received final receipts for income tax purposes will be issued if by any set of circumstances the 60000 has not been pledged and there appears to be no way in which to reach the objective all the money collected will be returned to tho individual contributors end no further action will be under- token by the committee towards improvements to the arena the committee feels and indications from the citizens at the present time indicate thoro is no doubt that the objective will be reached the canvasser is on your doorstep it can be done with your support it will be done now st john ambulance brigade
