!. NJ. {. A. CAMPAIGN
4 GREAT SUCCESS

mo one member has accomplished
it, said Secretary Super of the local
Y. NJ. C. A yesterday on being con-
graduated for the effective work which
was done in gaining 175 new members
for the Association in one day.
1T is the work of many members
which has made this thing a success. -
And a success it certainly is, for by
half past Two yesterday, one hundred
members had Joined the association
and the slogan was changed to "Get
40 more and make the Association MEM
bership an even five hundred" At six
o'clock when Secretary Super, tired but
happy, left for his home, the Y. NJ. c..
A. had gained one hundred and sew
enty-ive new members and the MEM
bership of the institution was five hun
dred and twenty-five.
Returns began to come in early in
the morning, and at Sis, the whistle
which blew every time twenty new
members Were secured, sounded a blast
for the first time.
There was some rivalry among the
association men to see who could bring
in the most new members. Frank
Atherton, Judge Whitney and Rev. E.
B. Turner head the list.
The lone day campaign" is new
idea in the Association world but an
idea which is being followed with great
success all over the United States. In
towns about the size of Honolulu or
little larger as many as five hundred
new members were secured in day
while three hundred is a common thing.
The campaign committee, the COM
mittee responsible for the getting OF
new members. consisted Of Ed. ToWse,
I. Beadle, and Geo. Cooke, together
with Secretary Super, whose plans and
ideas are working wonders for the AS
ISOLATION.
