suit that it appeared as though the Y. M. o. A. would just about balance its budget for the year. Some months ago, the Y.M.C.A. payroll had to be increased at the rate of $5,000 8 year, when the Mutual Aid workers had to be replaced with regular employees.
 Goss Explains
 Chairman Goss explained that, while the Y. M. c. A. plans called for balanced budgets, it had been impossible duF.ng the past six years, because over half of the persons whom the Y. M. c. A. was serving were unemployed, and unable to pay even the small membership fee. Dur tho six years, therefore, a deficit of about $17,000 has accumulated. This, he said, is an unemployment deficit, and must be eliminated so as not to hamper the regular work of the Y, M. o. A.
 The directors gave their chief concern to the financial canvass which opens tonight. The annual meeting of the Y. M. c. A. is May 18. The nominating committee was appointed as follows: Thomas F. Kellogg, chairman, Arthur P. Hick- COX, William T. Keavney, William &. Curtis, w. Chester Bray. The Y. M. c. A. committee which is studying the Community Chest con- sistS of Leon H. French, chairman; Orton P. Camp, and Levi Wilcox. The above committees were appoint ed by President Larkin, with the ap- proval of the board.
 The campaign committee is carry ing on 8 campaign of publicity through the press, and every eeve- ming on the radio. The committee feels that the Y. M. c. A. would have no difficulty in raising all of the money it needs, if the citizens and business firms had any concep- tion of the magnitude and import ance of the Y. M. 0. A. program, and the large numbers involved in 1t.
