at night members of the board of di-
rectors of the "Y" and members of the
executive committee report to link up
their part Of the work which Includes
duties that only they can do. The

ports and say that they will have the
organization complete and will be
ready to "shoot" on the first day of
Nav. They report splendid respon-
ses on the part of those asked to assist
in any part of the campaign, the re-
fusals being few and far between.
