When the 'group was reorgan- ized 18 months ago, it was with a small group of very interested persons', who have built up the •work of the Society so rapidly it has now outgrown their bounds. They are urgently asking any- one interested to volunteer their personal services for part time or full time help. They need volun- teers to take calls on animals, for people to help place the ani- mals, to take complaints, and for people to act on the various com- mittees in the organization. None of these duties would take much time, they point out, and it is- hoped that many men and women will volunteer to aid this civic cause.

Bowers continued that he would personally carry out the investigation and present any evidence to a regular Grand Jury. The next Grand Jury ses- sion will be this Fall. The District Attorney revealed that Judge Joseph M. Proskauer, chairman of the Crime Commis- sion, and John M. Harlan, chief counsel, had asked for a confer- ence with him later this Summer.

The con- ference may be held at Lake Placid, where Judge Proskauer has a Summer home. SEWING MACHINE RENTAL AND REPAIR Singer and all makes of sewing machines repaired by factory trained experts.
