7. ". c. A. BIG OPENING DAY
All Olsss Work as Well as Money Gam
paign Resumed.
RUSH TO COMPLETE BUILDING FUND


Tuesday was an eventful day in Young
Women Christian association circles, for on
that day the general class work Of the
fall and winter term was begun. the gym
nasium was opened for the fall and the
campaign for the raising Of funds for the
new building was reopened.
A strenuous EFFORT was made last spring
TO raise the necessary money and every
thing was running smoothly when the news
Of the earthquake at San Francisco shook
the whole continent and put the work OF
raising further funds out of the question
on the day afterftlIe earthquake the CAM
paign was declared closed and the books
laid aside until some future date when an
other effort would be made.
That time is now at hand and every eff
fort will be made by the young women to
raise sufficient funds to build their new
home free from debt During the last cam
paign 5000 was raised. but $4,000 Is
needed. and TO raise the difference is the
task now set before the hustliRg committee.
The work last spring was carried on by
teams, with prize for the team which
did the best work. This time the young
women will work in pairs to see what pair
can hand in the most subscriptions AL
though the books were only reopened Tues
day morning there were reports by noon
from three teams with total Of $500. Mrs.
Tilden is chairman of the hustling commit
tee and the young women will report to
her and work under her directions
Membership Largest Ever.
The membership of the local association
is 2,O25, the largest It has ever been, even
/ after the hard hustle for members last
/ spring. No special headquarters will be es-
| tablished this fall, but the offices of the
| Young women's Christian association In
| the Paxton block will be used instead. All
are now working together to a common end
and all have a confidence which bids well
! for success.
The architect, Thomas r. Kimball, has
completed his plans and is now asking for
! bids for the new building. Since the plans
were first drawn many changes were made
but these have not been tempered with
! since June IS. The bids call for the work
to be begun at once and the directors OF
the Young women's Christian association
anticipate considerable work will be done
this fall.
