REASONS
Supporting Young Christian
ClarIxsburg.

Reasons why the Clarksburg
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton should be maintained are as fol-
lows:
Because suitable building would
serve as center for all women OF
this city.
Because the association ia Il prac-
teal every day-in-the-ycar agency for
the betterment Of young women.
Because there are a hundred and
one attractions OF demoralizing ma
turc open to young women. A we'll
equipped association Is great coun-
ter attraction
Because there are many self-sup-
porting young women away from
their own homes. who find the asso-
citation a real home'-a place in
which to entertain their friends.
Because 1t Is n social center where
needed recreation may be had under
wholesome conditions.
because the work must not be re.
tarded.
Because hundreds OF young wom-
en- will be introduced to influences
which make better homes and better
citizenship.
Because it Is a place OF social SER
vice for the girl who has had train
Ing and place Of help for tho girl
who has never Ind chance.
The slogan was $4,000, and 6vO
hundred members. More than $4,000
has been raised and the slogan Is now
$1,000, but the membership has not
reached the mark. Monday afternoon
every team will work for members IN
order to reach the 500 by Monday ev-
ening Tho association has 618
m en- beers and II wants renewals and
500 new members. 1000 mombcrs
are necessary In order to affiliate
with the national association. Tho
fees are Sl.00 n year for active and
associate members, $500 for sustain
ing membership, and 500 for life
membership.
The Young Woman's Christian AS
ISOLATION is organized az a great sis
terhood: Il is moro than an Organi-
Zation and the power Of the whole
movement is its membership. The
membership fee is contribution
which each woman makes to the COM
mon fund and the stipulated eontri-
button Of one dollar per year entails
as much responsibility upon the
member as contribution OF one hun
dred dollars put upon some other
women. Think this over and be
ready to Join Monday.
