Team Captains and Workers to
 Meet This Evening

 At the meeting of team captains and workers this evening at the Burritt hotel many new subscrip- tions are expected to be reported, eY many of the team workers have been diligently working on detinl.e prospects during the past week. Judge Sake today stated that 'thc golf committee is highly gratilied at the results being obtained by our workers. A continuance of th"lr interest and support for the next two weeks will definitely assure the realization of our goal of $25,O"2 We expect that many of them Will have more subscriptions to report at our meeting this evening"" Secretary Benson of the Chamber of Commerce has compiled statistl- cal information from the subscrip- tions thus far turned over to him by the teams. In commenting relative to the matter today he stated that Tt is remarkably interesting to note that results thus far indicate an intenser and more widespread interest in this municipal golf course subject that any of us had dreamed of Already 12oo inli- vduals have subscribed to this fund with an average subscription Of s13.S3. Seven hundred and eighty subscribers have donated s5 or more individually.
 Four hundred and twenty have given less than $5, showing there IS real interest on the part of those less able to give in the larger brack- cts. Undoubtly many hundreds Of small contributions from our fac tory and store employees would be secured through systematic canvass. While their contributions are ac-
 
 that the funds for the golf course should be subscribed for the most part by two classes of our citiZen ship, those who will likely use the course and those who are financially able to assist from their larger cipal golf course will be a splendid thing for those who cannot afford to play golf otherwise. There are many prospective givers in both these classes to be seen yet so that every confidence is felt that the goal can be attained without asking through systematic canvass for subscrip- tions from our factory and store employees"
