Popularity of Movement At
tested by Willingness of
Citizens to Help

The Y. M. C. A. of Newark is
planning a carnival to be held
from Tuesday February 10th to
14th, every evening from 7:30 O.
clock. Mr.. Arthur G.. Wilkinson
who has been appointed Chairman
of the committee is receiving
splendid support. He stated to-
day that every person approached
has promised to help. Judging by
the number of young men and boys
who enjoy "Y" privileges, it is
evident that the town needs a Y.
M. C. A. and the number of work
ers enrolled shows that the towns
people are ready to stand behind
it. Since it's formation last fall
and the appointment of Mr.. Bebout
as General Secretary, the Associa-
tion has done good work. The
first year of an Association is al
ways the hardest financially, al
though at the directors meeting
held last week, the report of the
Finance Committee was most en-
couraging. Newark knows it can
not afford to let a work of this
kind drop for lack of support.
1t is estimated that the amount
needed to run the Association does
not exceed $4,000 per annum, and
it is felt that this is a small a
d, mount for the people of Newark,
S when the benefits given to the
e men and boys are considered.
