SHOWS WORK OF Y. NJ. G. A.


SHOWS WORK OF Y. NJ. G. A.
Mr.. Chas. A. Rawson,
Des Moines Iowa,
Dear Mr.. Rawson:
l am sending you herewith sum-
mary of the work of the Association
at Camp Dodge during the month of
December.
Work is now being carried on in
eight brigade buildings, in barrack
at the Remount Station, and some
work is being done with a small
group of men stationed at the Rifle
Range. Also one man Is giving full
time to the Base Hospital with sew
eral other men helping daily.
The estimated attendance at our
buildings during December was 800
450 Thirty-three educational lee
lures, the most of them illustrated,
, were given during the month. There
were 416 sessions of educational
classes. The men took books from
our building Libraries 8,136 times.
1900 men participated in recrea-
tional sports. 100 religious meet
ings were held, and there were IT'S
sessions of bible classes. Our men
distributed S33 testaments. The
men must ask for these; they are
not passed out in public meeting
There were 1892 interviews about
the Christian life. and our men re-
port 267 actual decisions on the part
of the men to lead Christian life
We held 80 social entertainments
and 100 moving picture shows. Our
men estimate that approximately
! 100000 letters were written in Our
buildings, which is an average OF
more than 5000 Aer day. More
than $4,000 worth of express money
orders were sold. We find that this
is good way to help the boys save
their money.
The above figures do not tell the
whole story, of course, but they are
an indication of the work being
done. Our work has been broken into
a good deal by the transfer of troops
to other camps. Owing to Christ
mas leaves, ETC., this was really a
/ light month with us in the matter
of activities.
Cordially yours,
/ (Signed) Fred NJ Hansen,
Camp Secretary

Mr.. Fordney said his estimate was
predicated on the returns of last yesr.s

Mr.. FUrdney criticized several sec

Mr.. Fordney also opposed the provi-

necessary and calling attention to the
fact that when sent to Congress they
become public property.

Sl,74O,OOO From U. S. to
P. r. T. for Project

A trolley extension is to be run di-
rectly into the Philadelphia Navy Yard
soon with terminal one-half mile in
side the navy yard gates. ="
This proposed improvement became
known to the public for the first time
this afternoon with the announcement
that the Public Service Commission had
approved an agreement between the
United States Housing Corporation and
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany.
The agreement provides a loan of ST.

struction of lines and other improve
ments to facilitate the movement of
shipbuilders and other Government

100000 would provide sixty new cars
for the navy yard extension and thirty
new cars for the Chester short line. 1t

equipment and may finance the extern
sion into the navy yard. Plans for the
extension are being worked out now
