The committees met at the court
house yesterday morning and were
given ammunition" and instruc-
'tions, starting on their canvass i'm
mediately. At noon they were Civ
en- a luncheon at the Y. NJ. C. A.
Cafeteria, when they compared
notes of the progress made in the
campaign.
At the conference of teams and
workers at the Y. M. C. A., after
all had submitted reports, it was
shown that total of 143 names
had been added to the membership
of the Club, representing total of
S2,7SS, of which amount S2,1S5 was
collected in cash, the remainder to
be collected. 1t developed during the
conference that many Of those call
ed on by the team workers were Que
of town. 1t is likely that these will
be added to the list later on. The
Generals had set the goal in the
drive at one hundred and fifty, and
yesterdays work was very satisfac-
tory to them.
There were a number of refusals
to take membership in the new or
ganfZatiOD, one captain reporting
four on his list, some giving per-
sonal reasons, others for reasons
which they alone considered salts
factory. The workers regret these
refusals, as it is the desire to get
every business man in Paris into the
membership. Secretary Dunn, of the
Lexington Board of trade, cOmpli-
ments the Paris workers by telling
them that this has been one of the
best managed campaigns of the
kind he had known in the many
years of his experience in such
work.
