Sec r. r. Wolf Of the Young Mems
Christian association has asked The
Forum to call the pubnc's attention
to the number OF young men in the
city who cannot reach their homes
tomorrow and asks that the citizens
open their homes to them for franks
giving dinner and few hours of home
life. Mr. VOLTS communication to
The Forum follows:
To The Forum: Please call atten-
ton Of the general public to the large
number OF young men in the city who
are away from home on Thanksgiv-
Ing day many of whom will be un-
able to celebrate that day at the old
home.
Last year we called attention to
this and as far as we know there
were very few young men unlimited to.
the homes of this city. The problem
Is increased this year on account OF
the great number Of new residents in
our city. Our membership records
show that not during the past three
years has there been such shifting of
the population among young men as
there has been during the past ten
months. We have every reason to be-
lieve that aside from the student
group there are greater number Of
young men In the city than a year
ago. This 10 also true Of the student
bodies as their statistics viii show.
/ am sure every citizen who has
q home can easily recall his first
Thanksgiving away from home, and
because OF this we are bold to urge
the good people Of Fargo to do all
in their power to take care of young
men with whom they come in touch
and make happy this thankful day.
TO any young men Of the city UNI
able to be at home on Thanksgiving
day we extend to you "open house."
Upon registering at the z. M c. A. Of
nee guest tickets will be issued to all
young men who care to use any or all
privileges the association affords.
Sincerely Yours.
Ralph r. Wolf, Secretary.
