The campaign for the collection of
donations to the fund Of the Y. NJ. C.
A. and Knights of Columbus war
fund, was brought to a fitting close
with a card party and entertainment
at the Elks yesterday afternoon and
evening. The success Of the event was
a gratifying reward for the hard work
done by the ladies of the Civic I'M
provement Association who offered
their assistance during the campaign
and arranged the closing entertain
ment yesterday.
During the afternoon the ladies
were entertained at cards, the evening
was filled with a splendid musical pro-
gram and dance. More than 100 cou-
pie swere present last night, all
wanting to swell the funds collected
for the Y. NJ. C. A. and the Knights
of Columbus. The music for the dance
was furnished by the Shivelbine or
chestra, thesmembcrs having offered
to give their musical talent for the
occasion without charge.
Three prizes were awarded after
the afternoon program, Mrs. H. S.
Doyle, Mrs. E. NJ. Doyle and Mrs. Nc
Cannon being the winners of the af-
ternoon. The evening prizes were won
by Mr.. Newport and Miss Kathleen
Carroll.
The evening program was one of
the most splendid musical renditions
ever heard at the Elks Hall. Miss La
vigna Rozier of Pennington, and Miss
Black, vocal teacher of the Normal,
sang several wonderful solos, accom-
panied by Miss Dora Naeter, Prof.
Kenyon and Miss Rick, the accom-
plished violin player.
The arrangements for the entertain
ment were made by the ladies of the
Improvement Association assisted by
members Of the Elks lodge. The re-
freshments were donated for the en-
tertainment relieving the ladies of the
Improvement Association of virtually
all expenses. 1t was estimated that
at least 500 would be realized from
this entertainment which could be
turned over to the war fund of the
Y. NJ. C. A. and Knights of Column
bus.
While yesterdays event was the for
NAL closing OF the campaign the teams
will continue their work in soliciting
donations to the fund for the soldiers.
An effort will be made to have Cape
Girardeau county establish a record
in the state and have the district ex-
coed its allotment by many thousands
Iof dollars.
At the closing of the reports for
the day Cape Girardeau alone had
contributed more than $4,000 to the
fund of the Y. NJ. C. A. and Knights
of Columbus. The county's apportion-
ment was fixed at $4,000 and that of
the district comprising Cape Girard-
eau, Perry and Bollinger county at
$4,000. Reports from those in charge
charge of the campaign in the coun-
ty indicate that the minimum has been
oversubscribed by at least $1,000.
