Partisans of the socialist publications in San Francisco sent in nearly $4,000 last week. Together with Militant supporters in Los Angeles they are the first to surpass their quotas. Los Angeles has been leading the way forward during the past seven weeks of the drive. Tampa, Florida; Price, Utah; and New Zealand and Australia are hot on their heels. Exceeding local quotas in each of these areas, and others, will help meet, and perhaps go over, the goal.

Supporters of the Militant in several other cities report they have contributions on the way in the mail.

In Birmingham they raised their quota by $400 to $1,700. With 83 percent of it in hand already, they are confident of making the new quota, reports Susan LaMont.

The Militant depends on these contributions to sustain its publication. Funds are used to help pay for rent, electricity, telephone, equipment maintenance, printing, and shipping. Please send your contribution now. All donations received by 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 25, will be recorded in the final chart. Checks or money orders should be made out to the Militant, earmarked "Spring Fund Drive," and sent to the Militant at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
