Augusta is the logical place for the

He said that they would send as
many boys as had been decided upon
by the city and no more. and that
the boys would be from many diff
ferent organizations throughout the
State. many of which are not dir
ectly connected with the Y. n. c. A.
They would arrive here on Friday
night and enjoy a banquet, and on
Saturday would hold meetings in
the various churches. On Sunday
they would attend the church SER
vices and would return to their
homes on Monday.
A discussion of plans was held,
and it was thought that the num-
Der to be entertained should tenta-
lively be set at 600. Representatives
from Hallowell, Gardiner and Win
throp have all expressed their belief
that these cities and towns would
each care for some of the boys
while in this vicinity. The boys will
be taken into private families and
will be furnished all meals as well
as room while here.
After some discussion as to the
manner of providing the banquet for
a gathering of this size, it was sug-
gested that the various women's
clubs connected with the churches
of Augusta might be willing to put
on the banquet.
A canvas of the city will be made
soon for the purpose of securing nc
comodations for the boys, and the
committee will take up the matter
with various organizations in the
city to secure their cooperation
