The following statement was is
headquarters:
I'VE doubt If there is a citizen of
Norwich who is not glad that the
campaign for a new Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing is succeeding so we'll thus far and
IL the enthusiasm of the workers is
any indication, the end of the week
tory is not yet won, and every resi-
dent of Norwich should bestir himself
to assist in this noble effort
1t will take subscriptions, 1t will
take enthusiasm, it will take a do-it-
now policy upon the part of those who
are asked to contribute There are a
large number of people who are fully
able to subscribe funds, but who want
more time to think it over. The needs
of such an enterprise require no time
Ito think it over" nor any thoughts
embodying doubt.
The people who will be asked to
subscribe can give something. at any
rate, but it cannot be too urgently
emphasized that the time to subscribe
is now.
Now is the time for all good men
and true to come to the aid of the
party" Let the movement succeed
Let your subscription aid in its sue
cess. Let the amount you subscribe
make you realize that you are doing
your city service, the young men
service, doing yourself a service-a
service which will not be measured in
dollars and cents, but a service which
means the moral uplift of the com
munfty the regeneration of a new and
better life in this city, and the assur-
ance to posterity that your private
business. your public business will be
in the safekeeping of young men
reared and trained under influences
which create a foundation, making
success in any enterprise.
1t may be interesting to the public
to know that the new building cam
paign of the local Y NJ. G A. really
began SO far as planning is concerned
last September when the new building
committee met to plan for preliminary
work, and since that time great deal
of work has been done in order that
everything might be in readiness for the
aggressive action which began on Sat
urday last at which time the workers
met for the first noon luncheon.
During the preliminary work which
began last fall several of our best
citizens promised to help with large
subscriptions so that with this very
great encouragement there was moth
ing to do but go ahead with the cam
paign, and the wisdom of this decision
has been already demonstrated by the
kindly receptions given to the workers
during the first two days of the cam
paign.
The amount of money to be raised
is $3.50, 900 for the new building and
$40 600 for the y. NJ. G. A. war work
among our American soldiers and ex-
tension work of the association; the
understanding is that those persons
who contribute in this campaign will
not be solicited for current expense
contributions for the next two years,
thus anyone who responds to the new
appeal will be doing a double
service, namely. assisting i'll the cree
ton of the new building and also as
sist in the paying of the current eX-
penses for the next two years.
Regarding the payments of the
pledges made the plans is as follows:
One-fifth of the pledge is to be paid
on July LIST and the balance in equal
in periods of four months,
thereby giving the subscriber sixteen
months in which to pay the pledge"
