 the splendid record made by those in charge of the Y. w. c. A. campaign. Great credit is due the campaign manager, Mrs. Sperry, the captains and the workers who Iabored so hard and so faithfully to get the needed sum. When it was announced at the meeting at the association last even Ing that tremendous amount over the deS1red sum had been pledged the workers and captains present cheered to the echo. It also speaks well for the people of the city that they have so generously given for this project.
 Dr. W. H. Day of the United church spoke at the last meeting of the work CTS held last evening and his address was along cOngratulatOry lines. The complete results as stated last even ing by divisions were as follows: Ex- ecutive, $13,234; Division A, S10,702; Division B, $S,933; Business Women, 2,497; High School Division, $46S; to- tai, $36,S35. It is anticipated that to- | day and possibly tomorrow a few more contributions may come in that will raise the total still higher.

It will require more workers to handle this quota and the work is not hard. Mrs. Bierne and Miss Irene Leverty are present on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons and Tuesday and Thursday evenings to instruct any who wish to learn how to make these dressings.
