Directors Select Hathaway After Exam
lining More Than 20 Men Who Had

paign for Funds in Early Summer.

Frank Hathaway of Duluth, Mimi,
has been named as secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
Kenosha and on Friday afternoon the
board of directors of the local associa-
ton signed contract with the new
secretary which provides for his start
ing work in Kenosha early in Febru-
airy. He is now business secretary of
the great work being done by the as
ISOLATION i'll Duluth and he has held
this position for the past seven years.
Secretary Hathaway was selected for
the Kenosha work after the directors
had examined the qualifications of
more than twenty applicants for the
position. Directors Vincent, DeCou
and Curtis went to Duluth on last Wed
nesday night and spent a whole day
investigating the work of Hathaway.
His recommendation from the people
in charge of the big work at Duluth
were most favorable.
Mr.. Hathaway is twenty mine years
of age, a college graduate and he has
been in Y. M. G, A. work nearly ali of
his If He was active in the work
OF the association at Carleton College
from which he was graduated. His
work lad been especially along finan-
cial lines since he went 70 Duluth and
he has been most successful in fnanc-
ing the work in that city.
No xUnrly will loo H.
organization of the work of the asso-
citation in Kenosha until the arrival of
Secretary Hathaway and he is to take
full charge and complete arrangements
for the campaign for the new building.
The directors are hopeful that this
campaign will be started in the early
summer of 1917 and that in a month
more than a hundred thousand dollars
can be raised to secure the erection of
building which will make possible
the carrying on of the work here.
Hathaway is a wonderful organ
lzer,' said one of the members of the
directors on Friday evening. "He has
organized the work of the association
up in Duluth until the association
there is one of the leaders in the ma
ton. He has ways of his own of in
teresting people and interesting them
to the extent that they want to give
financial aid. He appeared to be far
the best man for Kenosha. Mr.. Hath
away has been in Kenosha and has
looked over the field here and is thor
oughly convinced that the time is ripe
to start the work here The directors
of the Duluth association released Mr..
Hathaway from his contract there onlv
after they were convinced that there
was a great work to be done in Keno
sha and that Mr.. Hathaway was the
man to do it. Every member of the
directorate at Duluth paid high tribute
to his work Mr.. Hathaway has all the
business men of Duluth with him in
his work and we feel that he will be
able to enlist the sympathies and the
cash of Kenosha business men in the
same way We have no set plan for
the revival of the work in Kenosha
Mr. hathaway will be permitted to
take his own course and we are certain
that the plan he outlines will be one
which will make for success. Our plan
was to have him start the work with
the opening of the new year, but when
the Duluth directors consented to re-
lease him, it was only on the condition
that ne be given sixty days in which
to break IN man to take his place
there. Hathaway is a genial fellow.
He is thoroughly in the Christian work
but he is not in any way a dispenser
OF gloom. He believes in cheerful
Christianity and the kind that attracts
people. He should make the Kenosha
I. M. G. A. a great factor in the life
of the community and certainly such
an organization is greatly needed
here.
