Small Amounts Now Being
Gathered in by Workers for
New Building Here.


The hard work of the Y. NJ. II. A.
campaign has begun. The days oi
the largest donations are passed and
how comes the tiresome routine Of
going after the small amounts, oi
which 1t takes So many to reach the
required amount. The receipts OF
yesterday, $S.2S4. show that the
pledges are much slower Forthcoming
despite the fact that the workers
probably put In the longest and most
strenuous day. With the s76.05O
previously reported, the returns to
date are $S4,S34.
The Soldiers team, consisting OF
Henry Polkowitz, captain. DR.. B. f,
Slobodien, Sol II. Kelsey, Sol Kauf-
man and Leo A. Goldberger. have
taken the lead away from the Bear
turned in pledges for $2,755 last
night The Soldiers team issued a
challenge to the Bear Cats for the
remainder of the campaign, which
was Immediately accepted, and from
now on it Is war between these two
teams.
At the luncheon Isaac Apern.
chairman of the executive commit
tee. expressed words of great appre-
citation to the girls teams of the Y.
w. II. A. Mr.. Alpern said that the
girls have shown their dependable
self-sacrificing spirit in taking the
smaller prospects and being satisfied
to visit large number of people
without getting large returns. The
work of these teams" said Mr.. AL
perm, represents more effort than
that of the teams bringing in the
hundred and thousand dollar
amounts. The five, ten and twenty
five dollar contributions usually mean
more to the giver than the thousand
dollar contributions" was Mr.. AL
pern's opinion.
Special effort is being made as the
result of a conference last night to
reach the surrounding towns within
the next few days. There have been
very few returns from outsiders thus
far, and some of the outlying COM
munlties offer splendid fields.
The ladies who prepared the
luncheon last night were: Mrs. Isaac
Esberg, Mrs. David Encherman, Mrs.
Max s. Goldberger. Mrs. Joseph Slo-
bodien, Mrs. Jacob Hertz, Mrs. Sol
Rubenstein and Mrs. Max Klein.
The girls who helped serve the
luncheon were Misses Dora Dobbs,
Dorothy Greenbaum. Lillian Polko-
WITT, Kate Doris, Esther Levine.
Sadye Ellis, Lillian Fine, Mary Spiv-
ack and Blanche Jonkler.
Tonight there will be another

Monday, when the final reports will
be made. Jesse Straus. of New
