TO Raise FUNDS FOR new
CAMP CURTIN ME-. CHURCH
More Than TWO Hundred Men and
Women WIN Next Week Endeavor
to Get $4,000 to Erect Building
On Historic Ground

A movement to be city-wide in .its
appeal, will be the Silver Jubilee
Celebration of the Cslnp Curtin Mem.
orial NJ. Z. church next week. Over
200 citizens will forward the campaign
from April 10 to 27, in an effort to
raise $SS,000 for new church build
ing which viii occupy the present site
and front the chapel which has been
on the spot of Old Camp Curtin for
the last twenty-five years.
The citizens around Old Camp Cur
tin who are recipients of the influences
of the church and who consider the
Camp Curtin church as the community
center, started the project. With a
Sunday school of over 700 and mem
bership of $40, the present chapel is
over-crowded and to make adequate
room they are compelled to build. The
new church will have rooms for the
social features, the institutional acti-
vities and adequate auditorium room
and Sunday school class rooms. The
present chapel will be altered to ac-
eommodate the intermediate and adult
classes of the Sunday school.
General chairman, j. A. Haas, an
nounces the committee which will for
ward campaign during the eight days.
In the men s division there are twenty
teams of five men each, each team
being headed by a captain. The wom-
en- s division of 100 women is organ
lied likewise. This committee of over
200 will call upon the people of the
community, members of other churches
in the city, citizens. of the community
who recognize the worth and influence
of the church and who regardless of
their church afiiliation or whether
they have any or not, will be likely to
support the project. There are many
identifying themselves with the move
ment as team workers who are not
members of the church.
Headquarters have been established
in the old chapel, Sixth and Camp
streets, where the executive work OF
of the campaign is carried on and
where 5000 letters are being address
ed. The Office is equipped with Bell
phone SS57J, where the campaign of.
ficers can be reached any time by the
large body of workers any time, day
or night.
Campaign organization officers are:
John A. Haas, general chairman; E. w.
vice chairman; F. J. Reif,
treasurer, and A. S. Williams, minister.

New York, April Bethlehem
steel was again the disturbing feature
ct to-day's stock market, opening with
a sale of 1000 shares at 12S to 1923
against yesterdays s final price of 125.
The stock steadily assembled to 140
then making 5-point jump to 145
an advance of 20 points in less than
ten minutes. From this level il de-
seended even more speedily to 1870. los.
ing three-fourths of its pyrotechnica]

strong but orderly, Union Pacific
Southern Pacific and the eoppers rising
from l to almost points, with further
substantial gains in automobile shares,
trading was active during the first
half hour and embraced all varieties
of issue.
BY midday something like 700. 900
shares had changed hands aud Bethle.
hem Steel's Influence showed steady
dimlnution. The stock continued its
teverish course, however, falling back
from l36 to 131. In the general list
higher prices were made during the sec.
ond hour, but profttaking helped to
check the advance, U. S. Steel, Union
Pacific and Reading falling back a
point.
Commission houses were swamped
with business, mainly from out of-town
sources, and brokers on the floor Of
the Exchange experienced considerable
difficulty in executing orders because of
the wide fluctuations reached while the
market was most active.
