the Y. NJ. C. A. cabpaign to raise S75,-
600 for a building in Alexandria,
made yesterday at the Workers
Luncheon, brought the grand total up
10 S44,293. This was the first day
that the workers had really gone out
10 solicit from the general list OF cards
that had been prepared for them.
The campaign directors stated that
the report was a good one but lnul-
Gated that they were driving haruer
than ever today in an attempt to
reach the average of expectancy Ior
each day. e..
The meeting was one of the best if
not the most spirited yet held. Be
ginning promptly at 1890 the lunch
con was soon in an uproar of song
and good natured bantering. General
Jim Duncan of Division "Y chal-
lenged General Carroll Pierce of Di-
vision "M' right out in meeting, that
Division. "Y" would turn in better
report to-day than Division M The
challenge was instantly accepted. I'M
mediately General Kenneth Ogden OF
Division &C" challeneg General lr-
win Diener, of Division "a to a SIM
liar contest This was also accepted,
so that the divisions are pitted
against each other today in a real
contest for first honors.
TO-DAY the Kawanis Club members
were guests at the Workers Luncheon
and DR.. James Shera Montgomery,
Chaplain of the House of Representa-
tiYes, was the speaker. The auditor
ium OF the Chamber of Commerce was
filed with the Kiwanians and cam
paign workers and Dr. Montgomery
again electrified his audience with his
eloquent and forceful message, He
was one of the principal speakers at
the opening dinner Monday evening
and expressed his willingness to re-
turn during the campaign if ne was
desired. Needless to say his offer was
gladly accepted.
The big clock hung in front of cam
paign headquarters is attracting r
great deal of attention and as soon as
the monday report luncheon is over
and the amount for the day determin-
ed the winning division at once sets
the clock and hundreds of people stop
TO see what the grand total is. One
hand points to the day and gives the
progress of the campaign in days.
while the other points to the amount
and gives the progreS of the campaign
in amount. At the close of the public
schools Yesterday perhaps the most
interested group of eager faces turned
toward the clock was the "kidS" who
looked with longing faces to see the
amount SLOWLY reach the goal and give
them their "Y".
