 Hardly had the campaign start ed ere the boys of the club besieged uperintendent Dobson to accept their offerings. These pledges, as the following list indicates. run all the way from 25 cents to s25. with Sl54 contributed by members of the Older Members association and sl0o from the superintendent. These pledges are very significant as they mean a great deal to the l boys who have made them. Some have been able to pay their pledges in full, others are paying one, two and live dollars at a time. while some promises 10 help build the club are being redeemed a penny at a time. The total amount pledged by the members Of the Bristol Boys club is little short of $l,O00 which is a remarkable showing and is . positive sign that the boys of Bris- tol are anxious for better quarters and are willing 10 do their part to secure them.
