When the campaign plans were4
first tentatively discussed stimuli
tanoous county campaign was con-
templated This arrangement, how
ever, provided for only a limited
canvass. As organization developed,
it became ,pparcnt that the memoir
ial plan had struck popular chord.
Chairmcn in the various districts
took the position that the memorial
building fund should be secured as a
result of a general canvass that gave
every one in the county an oppor-
tunity TO make some contribution. In
Difference to this opinion, the cam
paign schedule was rearranged.
Sumner and Forest Hill will, like
the city Of Alma, make their canvass
from April 4 to H. St. Louis, FL
well, Breckenridge, Lafayette town
ship, and Wheeler will follow, the
date for Their campaign being from
April l1to18 Ithaca, Pompeii, Per-
rinton, Ashley North Star, Middle
ton AMI Bannistcr constitute the
final that group will put the county
campaign over the top, their can
vassing dates being frcm April 1S
20 %.
While the Greater Alma campaign
in Gratiot county outnumbers the
forces enlisted ir any other section
it is bv no means working alone. In
fact, the Gratiot county workers are
simply members cf an army organ
lied on a statewide basis. In Sagi-
nav. Alma's friends have fixed
$4,000 as their objective. In Bay
City the quota is 00O0, a portion
Of which has already been secured.
Grand Rapids exnccts TO raise S20,-
OOO, while the Detroit Greater Alma
forces have fixed S225,000 as their
goal.
The pending campaign marks the
first attempt upon the part of the
friends Of Alma college to appeal to
statewide constituency by means
of an intensive canvass, Alma's
funds have been secured in times
past as a resule Of series Of ap-
peals TO small groups.
The present campaign is the re-
suit Of desire upon the part Of the
friends of Alma College to make
certain that the institution maintains
the traditions Of service established
in its early days. Alma College was
made possible by a group of clear
visioned pioneers who looked ahead
and saw TIE time when the forests
would have disappeared and central
Michigan would be one Of the banner
agricultural districts OF the nation
That group Of pioneers, which in
cluded such men as A. w. Wright
c. w Wells, f. c. Stone, Charles II
Davis. and N. p. Bradley, in the
course of a few years back in 1886
contributed more than 100000 ir
order to make their dream of col.
lege possible. All of these men lat
er added to their original gifts anc

CITY TO ADOPT
EASTERN TIME
Expected Now That Measure
Before Commission Tuesday
VIII BE Approved.

There is strong possibility that
Alma will adopt daylight saving for
hte summer although at the meet
ing of the city commission Tuesday
evening, it was voted to lay the mat
ter on the table until next week.
A communication from Alma in
dustries, The Republic and Libby,
Mcneil a. Libby, was read asking
that Alma adopt this time for the
the summer, although at the meet
cities of the state are doing.
Commissioner Chick offered a res
olution fixing the time Of change at
Sunday evening, and it was support
ed by Commissioner Glass.
Commissioner Creaser then offered
motion to lay the proposition on
the table for week, this being sup
ported by Commissioner Archer.
The vote on the amendment was a
tie, Chick and Glass being opposed
to laying the matter over, calling at
tention to the fact that most cities
were making the change this week
end
With a tie vote Mayor Murphy
cast the deciding ballot in favor of
laying the matter on the table until
the session Of the commission next
week Tuesday
1t is expected that it will be taken
up at that time and that it will prob
ably be passed, although Commits
sioner Creaser expressed himself
during the argument as believing
that a majority of the people of the
city were opposed to the change
