The 100000 campaign of st. Aloysius
Roman Catholic Church for the purpose
OF providing a new parochial and high

ten-day run. The reports brought in last
night brought the fund within $4,000 OF
the goal
When the reports last night sent the
total beyond the SIS, 900 mark. the cam
palgners were in an enthusiastic frame
or mind. which was kept stirred up by 4.
S. Fennell. jr, captain of Team g. who
read the reports,
Rev. Father Paul r. Commit. S. J..
rector Of ST. Aloysius and treasurer Of
the campaign fund, said the goal was
within striking distance. and IL it was
not hit there would be many Pensioners
sorry. He said the amount could be
raised. and pointed out that It meant that
each team would only have 20 bring in
tonight approximately 500. This could
be done, he said, and he urged the teams
10 20 out and approach people whom
they knew would be interested. He said
they reached the goal set for them on
saturday. and he knew that it would be
small matter to put on n little more
steam and raise the additional $4,000
necessary TO announce the campaign a
complete success.

Much interest Centered last night on

night by Mgr. John Bonzano. the apos-
