GREAT THINGS To
Be DONE BY ~

Money to Be Raised in Com
ing Eight-Day Campaign
Will Furnish New and
Needed Facilities, Lead
ers Say

Interest is growing daily in the pro-
posed Young Mems Christian associa-
ton campaign to raise $4,000 in the
eight days, December to r. on the
all or none" basis. Some of the most
substantial business men. of the city
are getting behind the movement and
this fact augurs we'll for the success
of the enterprise.
The fund to be raised in this whirl-
wind campaign will not only wipe out
every dollars of Indebtedness against
the institution, but will place the or
sanlZation in a position, for the first
time in its history where it can more
adequately finance it's work and thus
keep from running behind annually.
thorough business management is
assured by the board of directors and
the men who are now endeavoring to
save to Phoenix the work of the Young
Mems Christian association, and who
believe the only way to do it is by
cooperative effort Of the citizens gen
orally in subscribing $4,000 within the
next few weeks.
Infuse New Blood
1t is expected that the campaign
will bring to the association the in
fusion of new blood, more active
interest on the part of the business
men, better facilities for carrying on
a modern, upto-date type of assbcia-
ton work, the resulting increase of
membership and new era of useful
ness for the Phoenix Young Mems
| Christian association.
The securing of the $4,000 at this
time will enable the association to meet
every need. This includes the indebted
ness on both building and notes held
by banks, the absolutely necessary en-
largement of the boys department to
meet the rapid increase of member
ship and activities, making necessary
repairs on the building, interest
charges and the expenses of conduct
ing the campaign.
/ Campaign Director F. c. Coykendale
stated yesterday that the securing of
$4,000 in live, wide-awake pro
gressive Phoenix should be a very
small matter at this time. Last month
a small South Georgia town of 2,0o0
people raised $4,000 in less than one
day, and an Ohio town of 5000 raised
4 $4,000 in four days.
Approaching the worth of the Y NJ.
c. A, the Ministerial association passed
the following resolution:
Campaign Endorsed
Whereas the Y. NJ. c. A. is one of
: the agencies which so largely CO.
operates with the Christian church in
the advancement of every cause for
the uplift of the community and the
character building of our young men
and whereas the present condition of
this worthy institution, which is SO
great an asset to every community, is
critical because of a lack of financial
support to meet the mortgage indebted
ness and notes which are now past
due, and whereas we believe that there
exists a great need for just such a
work as a modern ell-equipped Young
Mems Christian association with its
wide influence and opportunity for de-
r veloping the highest type of young
manhood in our community we, the
Ministerial Association of Phoenix
heartily and unanimously support this
much needed institution in our midst
and we also heartily endorse the he'd
ing in the churches of Phoenix a field
day when a speaker will be furnished
for each pulpit on Sunday, Dec. T. We
would earnestly urge our respective
congregations and our splendid body
of citizens to give willing cooperation
in bringing this enterprise to a sue
cessful conclusion.
