Norfolk Boys Need Y. M. c. A.

Wolfe Hall, Denver, Colo, Dec. IL
Editor News: AS a nonresident
can claim no right to speak to the cit
liens of Norfolk, and yet my interest
in Norfolk did not cease when / left
there, and SO | ask the privilege OF
saying word or two about the cam.
paign for finishing the Y. NJ. c. A.
building.
AS you know, communicates Of the
Episcopal church, together with Jews,
Turks, Negroes, infidels and Roman
Catholics, are not permitted to vote
or hold Office in the Y. M. c. A. under
its constitution. Local associations
sometimes violate the constitution, but
that is the provision. Because OF that
provision, and for some other reasons,
have not been warm advocate OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. in Norfolk to say the
least.
But this fall, as you also know,
had considerable TO do with the boys
of Norfolk, and what saw and heard
while among them has entirely con,
vinced me that notwithstanding any
faults it may have, or any unjust dis.
elimination it may show, the Y. NJ. c.
A. is nevertheless necessity TO the
boys of Norfolk. II you knew what
know, you would agree with me. Prob
ably you do.
Norfolk needs hospital, but the
hospital can wait il it must. People
sick physically can be sent to Omaha
if necessary. But the morally sick
boys OF Norfolk must be cared for.
You cannot send them anywhere, un-
less you let things go until you have
TO send them to Lincoln to the pen.
For every boy who goes wrong in Nor
folk the people OF Norfolk who can
finish the Y. NJ. C. A. and will not are
responsible. The Y. N. c. A, won't
keep them all from going wrong but IL
will help them TO stay right. Boys
need help and sympathy and encour
agement to do right as well ss wrong
They get plenty to do the latter; are
you going to give II them for the
otherS
The Y. NJ. C. A. ought TO be finished
If it cannot be entirely completed, al
least it is imperative that the first
floor be put in such shape as to permit
it's use for basketball by the boys
That alone would keep two or three
boys in school through the year.

ond cutting of ice been harvested as
early as this date and the thickness,
ten to eleven inches, is also said to
be remarkable. The first cutting of
ice this season was about seventeen
inches in thickness.

Public Statement.
Vienna, Jan. 15.--Considerable SEN

livered by Baron Fuchs, the clerical

exile.
