ST, MARY'S PLANS
DRIVE TO RAISE
fund FOR ORGAN

An active campaign to raise $4,000
for pipe organ for st. Mary's Cath
Ollie church was launched today by the
congregation. The pipe organ Will be
the finest in the city.
The executive committee in charge
of the campaign is composed of: John
]. Harrington, Jr., chairman: Frank
D. Kiser, treasurer; w. A. Klein, sec
Rotary; r. L. Adams, Rev. A. B. Duffy,
James E. Goldrick, j. P O'Brien.
The subscription blank carries the
following explanations:
"The organ has been regarded as
the official musical instrument of the
Catholic Church for centuries. 1t
lends grandeur and solemnity to the
services and no Catholic Church is
fully equipped without one. St. Marys
has met this want until now through
the kindness of one of our citizens
who loaned her a private organ. 1t is
incumbent upon the members of ST.
Mary's now to provide an organ, so
that she can conduct her services
with BETTING dignity and solemnity.
"The financial condition of St.
Mary's is too we'll known to believe
that We could provide an organ that
would be creditable and permanent
through our ordinary resources. We
know full we'll our duty to st. Mary's.
The regular contribution that our pas
tor expects of us to meet and liquidate
our enormous debt must continue and
even grow stronger. If we are able
at this time with the Grace of God
to provide an organ that will BETTING
ly proclaim His praise, it will be
through the fullness of a true Catholic
heart and the sacrifice that such a
heart is always willing to make. We
appeal to every man, woman and
child in St. Mary's to contribute as
generally as possible, for which may
God repay you a hundred fold"
Every member of the congregation
will be visited by the field committee
and given an opportunity to subscribe
to the fund. The field committee fol-

Out Of respect for Alfred Bavis.

and as an expression Of sympathy for
him in the loss of his only son, Ewart,
aged 20, who died Saturday evening at
the home. 1911 North d street, all
offices in the city building will be
closed tomorrow afternoon.
The young man was very popular.
He had been critically i'll for several
weeks. having been brought to his
parents home from Youngstown, O.,
last fall.
He was assistant physical director Of
the Youngstown Y. M. C. A. His all
ment proved quite battling to physic-
lans until an X-ray photograph reveal
ed serious lung affection, a quantity
of water having accumulated in his
left lung.
There were frequent attacks of high
fever. each attack exhausting much OF
his unusual vitality.
End Comes on Saturday.
Saturday he was in very weaken.
ed condition and 1t was realized that
the end was not far off although lew
days before his condition was such IS
to give hope OF his ultimate recovery.
He made a game fight for life and
was aided by his strong physique.
The young man was one Of the city's
best athletes. and while attending
Richmond high school was a star on
the several athletic teams. Graduating
from high school Bavis became 1denti-
fled with the local Y. NJ. c. A. as
physical director. later becoming as
sistant to r. j. Horton at the Youngs-
town Y M. G.. A.
Horton was formely physical direct
or of the local 'Y." 1t is believed that
an injury received while engaged IN
athletics was the indirect cause OF the
young mans death.
Besides the parents, Ewart Bavis
is survived by three sisters. Mrs.
Florence Millhiser of California. and
the Misses Maude and Glenna. both OF
this city.

RAILROAD OBJECTS
TO PAVING PROJECT
FOR THIRD STREET

A protest entered by Henry c.
Starr. representing the C. & o. rail-
road, against the plan proposed by the
board Of public works for the paving
OF North Third street, resulted today
in the board postponing hearing of the
resolution until next Monday.
The railroad, Mr. Starr said, would
favor the improvement if the resc.u-
1ion provided for paving the street
from Main to North D but would not
favor the improvement as now pro.
posed, from Main to the first alley
south Of North d street. which would
leave half block of unimproved road
way
The city plans to eventually widen
North Third street between North D
and the first alley south of North D
and decided not to pave that section
of the street until the street had been
widened. Mr.. Starr pointed out that
the city might not be financially able
to widen the street for ten years and
declared 1t would be absurd to leave
mud hole in the roadway for such
long period,
The improvement resolution pro-
vides for the paving of Third street
from South A to within short dis
lance of North d. A remonstrapce
against the paving of the street be-
tween South A and Main is being pre-
pared
