srbscri,tions Agsrcgating Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars Secured In the Move
m.nt tn Paw II and to Meet Other Itnins-
Two or More Bowling Alleys to he b"'h'
The board of directors Of the icung
Mems Christian Association authorize
the announcement that subscriptions SO
far secured in the movement to pay the
indebtedness of the association and 10
meet other items, more fully explained
later, aggregate S25, $50, the greater
rart of which is to be paid on or before
July LIST, ueyt. Thus far, from the re-
GENTS, the association has paid ror-
ton OF one of the $4,000 mortgages
standing against the property, ano
within q few days will be enahled to
| make payment, which will make the
total paid off to he s., 600.
IL was last summer that the associs'
tion began tho agitation for IL dsbt-
| clearing movement Frequent meet
inps were held and the subject was dis.
cussed in many phases but no plan OF
proceeding to get the money IN hand
was agreed upon for some time. ~ was
decided TO try and secure International
Secretary 4. I. Hazlewood to come
| here and make the etfcrt to secure the
money, and finally through earnest IN,
sis ance the association was permitted
to have his services. lie came to VIII
mington about The first week in Outo-
Der and soon began making a canvass
Of the city.
What the association asked for was
s25. 0oJ, OF which go, 600 was to meet
mortgages, and $1,000 was to meet ac'
crued interest, current expenses, much
needed repairs to the building in the
way OF baths and increased gymnasium
facilities, and light and beating ap-
paratus.
The effort was remarkable success
and in subscriptions Of 50 to 81. 00o,
the full amount Is subscribed. But
the association does not desire TO stop
anyone from giving to its support on
that account, and indeed, is now talk
ing up project which will probably
ieauire more money than will remain
from the $1,000 which it is to eceive
over and above the mortgage indebted
ness. This project is tine instal lation
of two or more bowling alleys in the
cellar OF the structure al No. l0ol
MAJ lset street. bowling has proved tc
be large attraction at othor associa'
tons aud would doubtless be popular
here. 4. l.. Rice, Jr., mas been en-
gagged to prepare plans for the improve
ments to the building, and as soon a:
they are completed the builders will bt
invited to bid.
1t is probable that to make thest
alleys, more money than originally es
timated will be needed. and In tina
, event the board of directors relies OF
! the generosity of the citizens to furnish
|. the necessary means.
The directors have decided to holt
the anniversary celebration of th,
, association on Sunday afternoon, Apri
! 18th, in the Grand Opera House
i Under all the circumstances, the direc
tors wish to make this a PARTICULAR.
notable and happy occasion.
