.y.W.C.A. CAMPAIGN
GOES OVER THE TOP
Drive For 100000 is Success
fully Completed on Schedule
Time by Hard Work of the So
Letting Teams.

One more over the top campaign
to Brunswick's credit, The Y. w. c..
A. campaign passed its $4,000 goal
Saturday noon when Miss NADIA Nc.
Donald's subscriptions from the Y. W.
C. AS friends on st. Simon Island
brought the total to $3006. This
amount is in hand. A considerable
sum is on the way-enough to bring
the final total to $4,000.
This means that the Y. w. c. "A. is
in Brunswick to stay and Brunswick
women are entirely responsible for its
success.
The secured budget will maintain
the Association during 1921 on its pres
ent scale of activity and service. AT
ter that time the Association expects
to extend its service to meet the de-
mands made upon it and to include de-
partments which will make the Asso-
citation practically self-supporting,
Eight or ten outside organizations
are now holding their meetings in the
Y. w c. A. in addition to the groups
formed under the Y. W. C. A. Such
as the Business and Professional WO-
mems Club and the Girl Reserves,
Theldistrict convention of Christian
Endeavor held their banquet in the
" Wy n rnou 1act uiUl,f The
Methodist women will hold recen-
ton there Monday afternoon, Monday
evening the Choral Club of the Y. w.
C. A. meets and on Wednesday two
committees of the Woman's Club will
use tho hall. Girl Reserves OF Purvis
school come to the Y. w. c. A. on
Tuesday afternoon and on Thursday
the Seventh Grade Girl Reserves hold
forth.
Friday the Young Mems Club of
Brunswick will hold their regular
weekly luncheon in the Y. w. c. A.
and that evening the men of the Meth
odist Baraca Glass will entertain in
the Y. w. GA. Another group of Girl
Reserves s. from Glynp Grammar School
meets Saturday afternoon III the ''Y''.
The above program gives some idea
of the extent to which the Brunswick
Young Woman's Christian Association
has become a community center.

Total Registration at the Close
0i Yesterday Stood at Only
Six Hundred and Sixty
LAST MINUTE RUSH IS
EXPECTED BY OFFICIALS
Despite Their Determined Fight
For the Privilege of Register
ing and Voting the White La
dies of Brunswick are Falling
to Qualify in as Large Mum
bers as Was Expected.

With only three more days remain
ing in which the citizens of Brunswick
who are qualified to register for the
coming city election may get their
names placed upon the official list of
voters, the total registration includ-
ing both male and female, white and
coiored. at the close yesterday reach
ed only six hundred and sixty
Despite thei1 determined fight for
the privilege OF registering and vet
ing in the city election, which was
finally authorizd by council, the white
ladies of the city are failing TO quail
fy in anything like the numbers that
was expected. As a matter of fact
the figures show that there are only
1856 white women who have ayailed
themselves of the opportunity to regis
t6r, just twenty more than The number
OF negro women who have qualified to
vote
However. it is believed by the Off
C-dIS tHett tiISlS z VIII Ue q last HiHutc
rush to register in the closing days. as
is usually the case and it is probable
that this slight lead will be materially
added TO. There are possibly thou
sand or more white ladies who are
qualified to register under the pro
visions of Pie special resolution passed
by city council, and probably an equal
number OF colcred women The fina:
figures will be awaited with consider
able interest.
An outstanding and significant fea
ture Of the registration statistics up
to the present time is the overwhelm-
ing majority OF female voters ever
the males as regards the figures for re-
groes. This is explained by reason c.
the fact that no taxes are required of
the women for the first year, and after
this year it is thought that they viii
be about on an equal footing. 1t is
women are taking greater interest i'll
registering than the men, and this is
in evidence in all parts of the country
The registration books will close
at six p. m. Wednesday, Nov. 18th, and
unless you go to the city hall and
qualify TO vote before that time. you
will be debarred from participating.
in the coming city election. 1t is ox-
pected that the figures will total con
siderably more than 1000 before the
books are closed.
AT the close yesterday the total fig
ure for the city stood as follows
Whites: Males, 3S5; females, 1885
Total 500.
Colored: Males, 20; females. 115.
Total, 140.
Total $50.
"A complete list of the qualified vot.
ers will be published in The News
Immediately after the closing Of the

FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

According to the statement issued
by the commission, the completion of
the highway bridge at Darien across
the Altamaha River and several farms
of the sea. will mark triumph for
highway construction in this section
of tile Estate. This bridge. five miles
long, was formerly used by the GeOr
eia Coast and Piedmont Railroad and
when that road was abandoned recent
ly. the bridge was purchased Jointly by
Glynn and Mcintosh counties to pre-.
vent its being salvaged as junk. 1t is
now being remodsled as vehicular
bridge by the use of steel and concrete
and when completed, will be opened
up toll free as an important link in
the Savannah -Brunswick-Ja Jacksonville
route.
Among the projects of vital impor-
tance in the; highway program of the
state now in course of construction in
this section. is the twelve miles stretch
of tar, gravel and asphalt road being
built along the edge of the Okefeno-
kee swamp, between Waycross and
Folkston. This is one of the most
strategic points along the route into
Jacksonville. The road has heretofore
been almost impossible because OF
the sand, swampy holes and soft spots.
1t will provide a route into Florida
Seacoast route from the north and
