START FUND WITH 5000
Y. M. g. A. Workers Meet and
Discuss Plans for Year
Speakers Discuss various Phases OF
tho WOrk-"Red and Blue" Menu
bership Campaign to Be One
Of Features.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton workers met at supper last night
and discussed plans for the year and
financial matters. Supper was served
by the Woman's Auxiliary. DR.. c. A.
Pease, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee, presided. Mayor Robert Rob
erts was called on first and expressed
his belief in the work Of the Young
Mems Christian association, because 1t
helped in producing good citizenship.
Good citizenship helps in reducing
taxes, and the tax question Is his
hardest. He said he believed in con-
version and that the time for 1t hould
come in every mans life.
I. V. Cobleigh was next called on
and presented the on1cial plans of the
association for the coming year,
These plans were definite and held
the closest interest of the gathering.
Among the new features are plans for
a census OF the men OF the city in the
tall and a Reds VS.. Blues" member
ship campaign. in which a challenge
WIS made for n competition between
boys and young moi for members. A
continuation of all last years success
full features was assured.
The Hon. w. J. Van Patten spoke
briefly of his pleasure in seeing the
yornEer men Of the city taking up tho
burden of the associations RESPONSE
bi,ities. He said he r%ejoiced In hay
ms had the opportunity to bear n
share in the work of helping young
men, r~ejoiced in the success which
Secretary Allen is having.
The associations work is particularly
valuable because it helps boys at that
time in life when help is most valuable
c. +. Cowles spoke concerning the rea.
son why the association needs financial
support from the public. He said he wai
glad it did and hoped It always would,
because the effort by which financial help
is gotten from men calls their attention
to and wakens their interest and CO.
operation In tine institution. He said he
knew of no institution in the city that
could get the support Of the people as
the association.
Dr. G.. y. Pease urged that everyone
carefully understand that the work was
being conducted on a business-liie basis.
Frof. NJ. u. Chittenden commended the
work Of the association, saying his belief
In the value OF the association had in
creased tremendously OF late. He thought
the community better understood now
how the association had used its funds
which had been raised in the past and
had more confidence then ever in it.
He said he thought the church and the
Young Men Christian association made
the community a better place in which
to.live.
The workers started the fund them
selves by pledging TO it. over 1900 was
gathered at the meeting.
