paign will bring 1t to a successful
conclusion.
The Thursday noon meeting of
team workers at the "Y" was well
attended and under the chairman
ship of Blaine S. Viles produced
more enthusiasm than has been so
far apparent in the drive. Among
the speakers at this gathering were:
Thomas c. Ingraham, Ralph G.. Web
Der, w. l.. Macdonald, Charles S.
Brown and Jefferson c. Smith OF
Waterville, who commented most
favorably upon the fact that the
support of this drive was exceeding
ly widespread, over 600 Augusta
citizens having already lent their
aid.
The appearance of the visiting
Kiwanians was most dramatic, and
was greeted with an outburst of en-
thusiasm by the assembled team
workers. Responding to a sincere
greeting by Chairman Viles, Kiwanis
President Frank E. Mace pointed out
that the notices of his organization
were service and help for the under
privileged child, aims to which the
very life of the Y. M. c. A. is de-
voted. He expressed the whole
hearted support of his organization
for the present campaign as well as
for the day-by-day work of the 'Y"
and predicted the success of the
present campaign.
That the rank and file of Augusta
citizens are doing their part to
crown the drive with success was
indicated by the report of additional
subscriptions of 81 $3.50 reported
by team captains, as well as $1,000
in special gifts. The standing of the
teams at noon Thursday was as fol-
lows: Thomas S. Brady, $1OSO.5O:
NJ. B. Dow, $434; Horace Ingraham,
$500: Harold B. Jennings, $601: P.

$4S4; Herman r. Mansur, $517: Ar
thur S. Merrill. 1923: Miss Lillian
Russell, S263.50: Mrs. Forrest Tyson,
S4O7. Gifts were also reported of
$50 from the Girl Reserves. $50 from
the Knights ,of the Round Table, and
1925 from out-of-town friends of the
"Y." This brought the total up to
$14 ,6f0 at noon Thursday, with re-
ports from several workers missing.
The drive will be continued
throughout today and will conclude
with a supper and meeting at 6.19
this evening at the 'Y," at which
General Chairman Walter s. Wyman
will preside. and at which it is hop
ed the successful accomplishment of
the $4,000 goal can be announced.

teams in the Pine Tree league, he
