cooperative service. we Oner to
employers a tried plan for express
Ing in a sane, practical and accept
able way their sense of responsible
ity for the best living, working and
recreative condition of their EN-
ployes,-A mutually profitable plan
that appeals to the best that there
is in both employer and employe.
But we never offer 1t without the
approval of the employees them
selves.
The Association is specially
adapted to serve in industrial fields
because-t1). 1t is cooperative
employer and employee unite for mu-
tual help. 1t is non-paternalistic.
C2). 1t ministers to the all-round
man-physical, intellectual and
spiritual and not only to the indi-
yidual, but to the whole commun-
ity. (3). 1t has trained leader
ship. The Secretary who is the rep
resentative of the interests of the
employer, the employe and the COM
munity is an essential to success.
(4). 1t is related to a worldwide
movement and has supervision by
representatives of local, State and
International Committees"
Mr.. Lyon followed Mr.. Towson's
remarks by asking If there was any
essential difference between the in
dustries In and about Perth Am
boy and those quoted by Towson.
He said 1t depended on the workers
what they will do and then the in
dustries will be secured. Mr.. Lyon
then announced the subscriptions al

Clark, who, he said, had something
still more interesting to tell. Mr..
Clark spoke as follows:
In looking over the field of pos
slble contributors to our Y. NJ. G..
A. campaign, I thought of a gentle
man who has been identified with
Perth Amboy very largely-Mr.
Adolph Lewisohn, who, with his
brother, was the protector of the
Raritan Copper Works. Although
Mr.. LeWisohn is no longer connected
with the Raritan Copper Works he
still maintains his interest in Perth
Amboy.
Il went to see him about a couple
OF weeks ago and told him of our
needs; he received me very kindly
and a few days afterward | received
a letter from him congratulating
us on the movement to erect a thor
oughly equipped Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing in Perth Amboy and Offering to
devote the sum Of $4,000 to fur
nishing and equipping the gymna-
SUM for the same.
Il don't know as I can add any
thing to what has been said tonight.
| want to thank the Captains for
their attendance with their teams.
| am sure we have all been inspired
with the necessary enthusiasm and
| think we are going to get more
than the $4,000"
D.. p. Olmstead, general of the
Young Mems Teams next addressed
his teams as follows:
1T would i'll become me to try to
make any extended remarks after
listening to the splendid speeches
made this evening, but am sure we
are all full of enthusiasm, and I
don't believe there Is a doubter
here tonight, nor a mar that thinks
we are not going to make this
campaign a success. l take this OPP
portunity to congratulate the Cap
tains of the Young Mems Teams for
DclllS 81 lolJuudIt anu SUCCESSFUL III
filling their teams with such ex-
cellent material. l don't think they
have had much difficulty, however,
some tell me they have been ap-
preached by a good many men who
were getting along In years who
wanted to serve on the Young Mems
Team.
Il think we are going to win
this campaign. On the Young Mems
Teams alone there are one hundred
men, and If they will turn In $40 a
day I think 1t will very nearly
bring in the necessary amount.
There Is one thing that Impress
es me about these campaigns and
that Is there has never been a fail
ure. | know you will agree with
me that we don't want to have the
first failure. We don't want 1t said
that this Y. M. c. A. campaign has
never proved a failure anywhere but
in Perth Amboy.' We want the
committee to say that in Perth Am
boy they started out to raise 5000
and got $4,000"
Sttae Secretary Coburn conclud-
ed the speech making and gave in
truotions to the workers. He spoke
as follows.
MI. Coburn said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen:
| congratulate you on the SPLEEN
did showing you have made here
tonight. General Clark and General
Olmstead, with their captains and
aides, are entering upon a great
civic campaign, and the presence of
so many able men here spells sue
cess. There is plenty of hard cam
paigning ahead, but If every man
does his part, victory Is assured.
I have been coming to Perth AM
boy for nearly a year., and / have
noticed that you, as a people, are
courageous-you show little fear of
contracting contagious diseases, but
like the old farmers colt, you are
sometimes a little "skittish," espec-
tally of enthusiasm. 1t reminds me
of a story | read the other day con-
corning a little girl who had heard
a great deal about the danger of
articles belonging to others. She
had been told that she must not use
the brushes, towels and combs of
other members of the family. One
day the little tot was found indus
triously lathering her face with her
fathers shaving brush. She was
told that she should know better.
why. what will ! catch, Mamma,
w~hiskers?" was her anxious inquiry.
Now. in this campaign. I don't mind
II you do catch a little enthusiasm
1t ia Just what we need at this time.
