JL 1 &\JI JL^ JUiVJiAJl X V. M C. A. CAMPAIGN i STARTS OCTOBER 20 ? Columbia, Oct. 7.?A stirring ap- < peal the people of the State to con- < tribute to the Y. M. C. A. campaign 1 to be conducted October 20-30 has I been issued by T. B. Lanham, state i secretary, who declares that the asso- 1 ciation has ambitious plans reaching 1 into every county in the state. The 1 development of these plans depends I upon the outcome of the campaign |' for funds. | ? "South Carolina has over 200,000 i young men and boys" says Mr. Lan- ^ ham, "What definite concrete state-, c wide contributions are we making to c their lives and character? ? "Did you ever stop to think that c . progress in civilization depends upon f the present generations seeing to it j 1 that the best, instead of the worst r makes its contribution to the next? t South Carolina men must see the right now is the time to do their part v in setting the physical, mental and e moral standards of the next genra- J tion. t "During the seventy-five years of I its existence, the Young Men's c Christian Association has developed j its work to meet the needs of all j classes of young men under all con- a ditions. c "For years the Association has i been well known through its build- c ings and work in our city centers j among railroad men, students and c industrial workers. ? "More recently a plan has been ^ /developed called rural or county s work, in which a county is organized c as the unit and a county secretary x Conducts work on religious, social, educational and phyiscal lines, with- r out any building equipment. The Young Men's Christian Association is preparing to carry this work in some form to every young man in South Carolina. F "Exports say that an average boy is worth $20,000. It will cost not quite the price of two boys to do this jpb. ] "Citizens all over the State of ? South Carolina are being asked to t take part in contributing to the sup- ( -? n-;- .1. tu:. { pon OX UU8 wuia. x1uo jo uvt ivi the Young Men's Christian Association, it is for the boys and young men of South Carolina. The Association knows how to do the job?it has the leadership, it has the trained men, its work is practical, purposeful and permanent." ???a??pk?? . | WRITER APPROVES OF OUR STAND AS TO N PARK AND THEATRE Editor Press and Banner: I read with much pleasure and sincere approval your editorial in { Tuesday's paper on the animal cages t at the public park and on the "'bad j behavior" at the Opera House. ( While I am not a frequenter of the Public Park I know conditions are ] as you say for the odor of the cages m?~ I Everybody I into 10 tr talent a sq * e day st interest, 1 Rain or i | | I vuuu* s very noticeable to people passing ilong the roadway near the park. What yOu had to say about the :onduct at the opera house was ex:ellent. The audience wai disturbed >y tne laie comers uauiyU>& >anging down their seats and keepng up a steady stream of half whisjered talk. The boys in the balcony vere annnoying and should have been it home with their parents or their jarents should have been at the 'show" with the boys. However, there ire other things you could have nentioned: that is, the women who vear hats and keep them on through>ut of line, forces his way to the of omes in has shirt? sleeves and takes i front seat and the man who steps >ut of line forces his way to the ofice window and demands his ticket. This man should not be served but nade to take his place in line with he others and await his turn. In this day of short hours for the vorking man there is absolutely no ixcuse for him coming to the opera louse in shirt sleeves, his collar urned in and his sleeves rolled up. le has no right to be admitted among leanly dressed men and women. >uch a thing would not be tolerated n a city, a good hotel or in a church, ind should not be tolerated at the ipera house . Then, last but not east, is the prevailing custom of hewing gum. It is scarcely a decent labit at any time, but to go to the >pera house, look over the audience md see half the people, men and vomen, boys and girls, chewing gum teadily throughout the performance, :ertainly does not add to the cultural 'eputation of the town. Is it possible to improve our manlers? x. y. z. Abbeville, Oct. 8, 1919. AAKE LOW RATES STATE FAIR WEEK D. F.
