New Communities Spring Up.
Around each shipyard new COM
munities have sprung up The COM
panies have built hundreds OF dwell
ings for the new workmen but even
this has not met the need and many
men are kept from the district by the
lack OF suitable houses. Civic organi-
cations have been called upon to find
homes and rooms for new men, but
both cities are hard taxed to meet the
demand.
One OF the best records in the
United States has been made BY the
McDougall-Duluth Shipbuilding COM
pany. Only a year ago, at Riverside"
a district on the st. Louis river be-
tween Duluth and Morgan Park. the
home Of the United States Steel cor
poration's Duluth plant, there were
acres OF pasture land, no stores or
dwellings. only ramshackle old
hotel. The hotel was the sole re-
minder of an old steel plant. once the
nope OF local capitalists. Years ago
this failed and the plant was torn

1t was just about a year ago that
the first steps were taken toward
building the plant, but the organizers
did not dare to hope to get such re.
suits as have since been obtained

began building machine shops. office

Y. M. c. A. Campaign

Citizens of Richmond are sufficiently well &C
quainted with the purpose and object of the Y.
NJ. c. A., removing all necessity of long argu-
ment to establish the worth of the institution in
the community.
Attention is called to the campaign for men,
bers to be held this week. A large membership
not only means increased financial receipts but
also attests to the personal interest of the COM
munity in the association.
Many boys and men have belonged to the Y
for years. Others are not enrolled because they
have taken little interest in the work or have
not had their attention called to it.
1t is confidently believed that the campaign
will result in the attainment Of the goal that has
heen set out.
