Around this bend Bolshevist gunboats

UNITE FOR DRIVE
Want Public to Understand Good Work
Of Y. w. c. A.

OF Y. w, y. y.
At the request OF the President of
the United States, the seven organiza-
tions carrying on war relief, welfare
work connected with the war, and
war aid of any kind, have united to
conduct one big drive during the week
Nov nth TO 26th to raise the funds
necessary for their work.
The seven organizations are as fol-
lows:
The Young Mems Christian Associ-
atioE.
The Young Womens Christian AS
sociation
The National Catholic War Council.
The Jewish Welfare Board.
The Salvation Army.
The. War Camp Community Service.
The American Library Association.
The purpose of uniting the effort of
the seven is that the public may be
relieved of the burden of seven sepa-
rate campaigns.
Because the work OF the Young Wo.
mems Christian Association is less
known than some OF the others and
has not had the newspaper space 10
bring ii to the attention of the peo.
pie. il was thought best to carry out
preliminary campaign OF education
and publicity. so that the public would
understand why they were asked to
contribute toward the work of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tor.
As already announced in the Ban.
nor Of October 18th, this educational
campaign is in the charge OF local
chairman and committees Plans
have been made and are being carried
out now to acquaint the people of Ben
nington and vicinity with the great
work the Young Womens Christian
association is carrying on in this
country and overseas to help our sol
diers, TO safeguard our girls. to. .enlisi
them in a patriotic effort to give
worthwhile entertainment and whole
some pleasure to the boys in camp
TO house and protect the physical vel
fare Of thousands of women and girls
engaged in war industries, and t.
carry on "A hundred other activities o
like nature All this work is done a
the request of the War Department
and with its cooperation; but th'
Government does not supply th'
funds. any more than it finances th'
Young Mems Christian Association
the Red Cross. or the Salvation Arm,
in their war work Hence the appea
that will soon be made for money.
