derful change in sentiments change
that Is even more marked today than
II was yesterday. They urged the trus-
tees to discontinue the SOLICITING for
the present and wait until the Christ
mas rush is over. Then, they said
everyone will be i'm better shape to
work and better results may be OBJ
tanned.
1t was finally decided to wait until
January l6, when a seven-day cam
paign Will be inaugurated for secur-
ing the remaining $4,000.
The organization has been through
hard test on the list of workers
there were 100 names when the cam
palgn opened. The real workers num-
ber far less than 100. These will form
the basis of the new organization
which will number 100 men who will
give most of their time in the seven
days and put the proposition over In
a glorious rush. Many who have al
ready subscribed have intimated that
they will increase their subscriptions.
In the meantime the Y. NJ. G. A.
Will be open every day. doing its part
of the great work laid out before 1t
I'm Marion. If, in the next campaign
the subscriptions amount to $4,000,
counting the $4,000 already sub.
scribed, the Y. NJ. G. A. will remain
the big factor in the citys life that II
Is today; If not, then the doors will be
closed. That there is prospect for
successful elimination of the project
is appreciated by Marion's young men
and by mothers and fathers more thar
any one else. Among the donators ar,
many of the boys and girls of Ma
rion. The boys know what the Y. NJ
c. A. is and what Ii does.
J. ID. Van Scoten, n secretary of the
state Y. NJ. c. A. bureau. who had
charge of the local campaign and the
organization of the workers, left this
morning for Columbus. Mr.. Var
Scotch will keep i'm touch with the To-
cal leaders and will return here on
January 16, ready to continue the fight
for the cause.
Considering the fact that corpora
tions of Marion with the exception OF
the Marion Gas company and the
Western Union company, gave no aiG
to the movement the $4,000 collected
Is regarded as very remarkable, espe-
cially as the campaign was laid at
the busiest season of the year. In
other places corporations have donated
liberally but siace the overland cam
paign, when 1t was demonstrated thai
a corporation may not legally sub.
scribe to projects of this sort, the
practice has been discontinued here.
DR.. G. E. Sawyer ana others OF the
principal workers In this campaign
stated today that while defeated IN
their endeavor to raise $4,000 within
a week they feel that the result q
practically a victory for the remain
der will be forthcoming in the mex,
campaign They are glad to feel thai
Marion responded so nobly to the cal.
and showed return of the oldtimc
spirit.
Many a man who has been eating
dinner at the Y. NJ. c. A. during the
campaign. ate at home for the first
time In eight days today The noon
day dinner with the enthusiastic meet
ings following will be resumed I'm
January Each of the workers, who
gave up time in this busy season ant
each of those who have donated to
the cause, are extended not only tn,
hearty thanks of those at the head OF
the movement and the association but
the thanks of the whole community
to whom the loss of the Y. NJ. G.. A.
meant much.
