Y. M. C. A. FINANCE CAMPAIGN
Plans for the P. R. R. Y. M .C. A.
finance campaign are progressing
as rapidly as can be expected, and
the outlook for a successful campaign is favorable. The drive will
formally open Monday, Feb. 5, and
will continue until the goal ia
reached. The committee has set the
goaj at eighteen hundred dtUars
for tbe year which is the equivalent
of one hundred and fifty dollars per
month in subscriptions. The plan is
to seek monthly subscriptions that
will total that figure, which will be
sufficient to maintain the work Of
the association during the year.
G. A. Jamison, manager of the
Bellwool Furniture store aad chair
man of the drive haa held several
enthusiastic meetings of the executive committee which is composed
Of G. P. Orris, C. T. Derick, H. E.
Syling, F. J. Werts, J. H. Leffard,
W. A, Hauth, G. L. Bower, John
Campbell and Fred O. McCoy. A
list of honorary vice-chairmen of
the drive, who will act as boot-tors
and give their moral support to the
effort, has been compiled and aa
soon as it is ascertained whether
they will serve, their names will be
published ilk this paper. Mr. Jamison asks that any one who wishes to
make a contribution toward the
support of the Y. M. C A. in the
community, but who will be out of
town during tbe week of Feb. 5,
should leave their names with any
of the executive committee and
they may make their subscriptions
before they leave.
The value ef the building aa
well as the work to the people of
Bellwood and Antis township is
so well known that there ia little
chelnce that the citizens will allow
it to be lost because so small an
amount is needed to keep the work
functioning. It ia said that Y. M. C
A. Boys and Girls clubs are better
than policemen's clubs, and- if that
ia touts, tbe sixteen clubs at tbe
Y. M. C. A. are filling a good pur-
