MANY CONTRIBUTIONS HERE.

Chas. A. Rawson, chairman fol
Iowa of the war work council, sends
the Freeman-Journal report oil
the Y. NJ. C. A. work done at Camp
Dodge during the month of Deem
her. Most people in Hamilton coun-
ty contributed toward the Y. NJ. c. A.
and will be interested in this re-
port, made by Fred NJ. Hansen, camp
secretary, as follows:
Work is now being carried on in
eight brigade buildings, in a barrack
at the rcmount station, and some
work is being done with a small
group of men stationed at the rife
range. Also, one man is giving full
time to the base hospital with several
other men helping daily.
Attendance Large.
1.-THE estimated attendance at our
buildings during December was $780,
$50. 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 S,136 times.
1900 men participated in recre-
ational sports. 100 religious meet
ings were held, and 175 ses-
sfons of bible classes. Our men dis
tributed 1888 testaments. The men
ask for these; they are not passed
out in public meeting. There were
1862 interviews about the Christian
life, and our men report PSI actual
decisions OH the part of men to live
a Christian life. We held so 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 per
day, More than 100000 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
sin 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 Christmas
leaves, etc. this was really light
month with us in the matter Of ac-
tivitics."
