YIN. H. A. PLANS
FOR GREAT DRIVE
Meeting Held Last Night to
Arrange for Campaign for
1000 Members

At a meeting of the executive
board of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association Membership Campaign
Committee, final plans were form
ulated whereby the local institution
will launch the largest membership
drive ever attempted by the organ
ization, to bring the membership of
this institution over the two thou
sand mark. With Max Gibian head
| ing the general committee of this
drive, there is every cause to be-
lieve that the aftermath of the cam
paign will find every Jew of this
city enrolled as member of the Y.
NJ. H. A, when their new building
in finally dedicated on Demember
20, 1928.
The general committee, which con-
sists of twelve very enthusiastic
members, all of whom have had con-
siderable experience in the various
campaigns of the local institution, at
a formal meeting last night--decided
to launch the campaign on Sunday,
December 16, which campaign will
be a very vigorous as well as brief
one, having for its objective two
thousand members in one week.
Board of Directors have enlisted the
aid of two hundred and fifty ener-
getic members of the Y. NJ. II. A.,
Y. w. Fl. A. and Ladies' Auxiliary.
and with this splendid array of
workers. Max Gibian has assured
Mr.. Alpern, the president of the
Board of Directors of the Y. NJ.
H. A., that at the final dedication
of the new Y. M. II. A. building, at
the corner of Madison avenue and
Jefferson street, the Y. M. H. A.
will boast of a membership of two
thousand men, women, and children.
The plan of the campaign as out
lined by the executive committee,
provides for fifty teams, headed by
a captain and assisted by five lieu
tenants, and with this large horde of
workers canvassing the city, for
members, there is no reason why the
quota of two thousand should not
easily be passed.
While Max Gibian has been desig-
mated as the head of the entire drive
he has appointed Mrs. Hyman Fried
man to lead the women in this CAM
paign, assisted by Mrs. Isaac EsbeTg,
who in turn have chosen fifteen cap
tains from amongst the women of
this city, and also Y. w. II. A.

upon which Battalion there will be
