Industrial Workers Throughout State
Have Responded Generously and

Aid In the Drive.

ating In every possible way In aiding
the Liberty Loan campaign in the past
fen DAYS. Furthermore, this policy
will be maintained until the end OF
the drive, as the state leaders, includ-
ing Charles A. Coburn, state campaign
director, and these members of the
Executive Committee: S. II. Gillespie
~. M. G. Al, Mrs. f. Del Hyde C.
w. C. Al, John f. O'Neil TX. of c.,
Felix Fuld q. w. b., j. S. Rippel CIV.
C. G. s., NJ. Taylor Pyne "a. l.. Al
and George #. easier Is. Al have In
structed all Of the county directors to
do their utmost for the Liberty Loan
at every opportunity. Briefly, this
means that the United Wal Work
Campaign is lined up solidly in New
Jersey behind the Liberty Loan with
out any reservation.
John B. Lunger, chairman, and F.
B. Hoagland. executive secretary of
the Speakers Bureau, are filling some
dates during the Liberty Loan cam
paign, but in every instance they are
instructing the men to boost" the Lib
erty Loan work, and the speakers are
carrying out these instructions.
An important division of the United
Wan Work Campaign, the prelimina-
ries of which are being arranged while
the Liberty Loan campaign is in prog
ress, is the Student division. The
chairman of this division is G. w. Nc
Alpin of MorristOwn. The executive
secretary is Rev. Burleigh Cruick-
shank of Chatham. 1t is planned to
conduct an intensive campaign i'll
every college and preparatory school
of the state in order that every stu
LEM in these institutions may have
the opportunity to contribute as the
quota allotted to this division is two
million dollars.
Back in 1915 Cruickshank, the exec
utive secretary of this division, was
at Princeton University, where he
made an enviable reputation as a foot-
ball star. He vas assistant coach for
the Varsity, and did some fine work
with the Freshmen classes. In 1915
he was selected as the All-American
ENTER. He was graduated from Wash
ington and Jefferson, and Princeton
Theological Seminary.
Few persons appreciate the magni-
tude of the task of the Victory Boys
and Victory Girls division. This is in
charge of A. l.. Kennedy, of Plainfield,
as chairman, and Charles R. Scott, of
Newark, as executive secretary.
The United War Work Campaign is
fortunate in having Mr.. Scott as the
executive secretary for this work, be-
cause he knows boys and how to reach
them. He has had a wonderful rec
ord, and there is hardly a person in
any of the allied organizations who
is as well known to as many boys
throughout the state of New Jersey. He
probably knows more than 100000 men
and boys, many of whom were boys at
his camps.
Mr.. Scott has just completed twenty
five years continuous service in the
Y. M. G. A, seven years of which he
eighteen years with the State Com
mittee. One of his greatest achieve
ments has beer the development of
the state camps for boys at Waway-
anda. He has had a varied experience
in Sunday schools, in the Association,
and cooperating with some of the
state institutions, notably the State
Home for Boys. For two years he
was chairman of the Camp Leaders
Association of America, in charge of
the exhibit at the International Sports
man Show, representing private
schools, Roman Catholic, Hebrew, Boy
Scout and Y. M. G. A. camps.
Through the Industrial division,
headed by H. B. Rogers as chairman,
and ]. w. Miller is executive secre-
tary, the rounding up of the patriotic
Industrial workers of the state will be
managed. The work will be handled
through divisions in each county, and
the seven cooperating organizations
will give the county organizations the
best help it is possible to obtain In
taking care of this phase o. II cam
paign.
The industrial workers of the state
have responded generously and loyalty
to the calls for their aid in the Lib
erty Loan drive" and they realize
that the various agencies cooperating
in the United War Work drive are do
ing the finest kind of work for the
boys in the trenches, and the men in
the big munition and shipbuilding'
plants are not being forgotten. 1t is
believed the quota of the Industrial
division will be taken care of without
any difficulty.
New Jersey has a large population
m the agricultural counties. The cam
paign in these sections will be in
charge of the Rural Division, of which
VIM. G. Moore is chairman and H. u.
Maydole executive secretary. Having
served as County Secretary in Somer-
set, Mr.. Maydole is familiar with the
needs of the farming sections. He
knows their viewpoint, and he is per-
fecting plans to have the cooperation
of representatives of the allied organ
iZationS in this work.
