the Keynote sounded at conference
or team workers in the Presbyterian
building last night.
announcement by State Secretary
y A. Ackley that two contributions of
one thousand dollars each have been
given voluntarily in advance of the
fonr-day campaign, which begins to-
day, caused great enthusiasm among
| the campaign workers. The donors
are Richmond men.
Mr.. Ackley said that proha bly, three
times as much money as Virginia's
quota of SI25.000 would he spent in
| this state. The Y. NJ. c. A.. execu-
tive committee estimates that the cost
of caring for each individual soldier
for a period of eight months will be
50. Thus. If $4,000 soldiers are con-
centrated In Virginia and such is
likely, it will take 100000 to care for
these men alone. Secretary Ackley,
in instructing the team workers, said
he believed there were plenty of men
in Richmond who would contribute
the cost of Y. NJ. C. A. building
$4,000,
Adjutant-Genera w. w. Sale. de
/ livered an inspiring address. He said
he regarded Y. NJ. c. 4. as absolutely
necessary to the well-being OF any
soldier camp. Raising $4,000 in
Richmond in four days is not an easy
underta king" he declared. nut YOU
/ team workers must. impress upon the
hYtG s1F
| Richmond the value and Importance
OF Y. NJ. G. A. work, what it means
TO the thousands of boys who will
soon be in training on Virginia soil.
| ! am greatly interested in the y. NJ.
| 6. A., but. like many others. | did
! not learn until a short time ago the
| power and scope of its work. l say
unhesitatingly that a little military
will help the Y. NJ. G. A and n little
| Y. NJ. c. A. will help the military.
We both aim to keep a young mans
mental moral and physical activities
working at the highest pitch. for in
an army there must be efficiency"
