In the final week of the drive more than $48,000 was collected at a series of political meetings and activities across the United States. These included a holiday celebration and wrap-up event for the fund in New York attended by 130 people, who contributed more than $4,000. Some who pitched in doubled their pledges at the end of the program.

In Pittsburgh, socialist workers organized a weekend of classes and a fund event December 15 that attracted participants from Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. Similar events in other cities helped push supporters of the fund over the top of local goals.

"We've made it!" reads the note sent by supporters in Canada. "More will come in the next few days," they added. The international character of the fund was demonstrated right up to the last day of the drive when a note from supporters in Belgium arrived containing new contributions.

With some last minute efforts and additional pledges, the majority of areas went over their adopted local goals.

Articles in this week's Militant are a reminder of the importance of raising money for the publication of Pathfinder books.

To make a final contribution, write a check to the Pathfinder Fund and send it to 410 West St., New York, N.Y. 10014.
