pep At START
Of Y.M.H.A. DRIVE
Mayor Endorses Big Campaign
for New BuiIding-- Working
Organization is formed.

Organization is formed.
If the enthusiasm which prevailed
at the largely attended meeting of
the campaign committees which was
held at the Y. NJ. II. A. last night
continues throughout the campaign
the Jewish people of the city need
have no fear for their 100000 Y. M.
II. A. building which will be built
as the result of this drive for funds.
Isaac Alpern, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. presided and
made an inspiring talk while giving
some semblance of an idea of how
the campaign Is to be run. While
every detail is not yet complete, a
very fair idea of the plans was heard
last night and many valuable sugges-
tions presented. Mr.. Alpern said that
the new building will be the center
for every Jewish activity in town,
where no class or station of Jew need
feel the least compunction about en-
| tering. 1t is the idea of many that
all the Jewish societies which now
meet in various places should all CO.
| operate in the effort to get the new
| building which will be the legitimate
home of these societies
| Louis Brenner, campaign director,
| also spoke, briefly outlining the
methods which will be used in the
drive. The several teams Will each
| have captain who in turn Will have
a large corps of workers.
| The various Jewish organizations
| of the city were very we'll represent
| cd last night who will explain to their
| organs just what is expected of them.
| After a talk by Harry Medinets on
Cooperation" some of the many en-
| dorsements from the prominent men
| manifesting the interest which not
| only Jews but other nationalities are
| taking in this movement.
The following letter from Mayor
Frank Dorsey. endorsing the move
ment for a new building, was read at
last nights meeting:
MY Dear Mr.. Leon:
II shall be very glad to serve on
the citizens committee for the Y. NJ.
II. A. and Y. w. II. A. building cam
paign to be conducted during the
week of June 14th
"An institution of this kind is an
asset to the community. 1t helps to
| develop sturdy young men and women
| and trains them to become splendid
| American citizens. We cannot have
| too many places where our boys and
girls can find wholesome recreation
amidst the right.
~ think that the slogan of your
! campaign help build the next best
place to homo" is a very happy one.
The force of this appeal should be
felt by every Jew and non-Jew alike.
| Both as citizen and n mayor
of Perth Amboy, 1 heartily approve
of the proposed building. AS our city
grows we will need more parks and
Fairgrounds and buildings of this
kind.
your campaign committee Is
launched upon a splendid undertake
| ing. 1 wish you the best of success
and predict that your committee will
go over the top.
Sincerely yours,
| (Sigped) FRANK DORSEY,
