Efforts of Workers Wore Success?
ful.
The Y. M. C. A. campaign came to
a formal close last night, when the
last reports were made by the cam?
paign workers. Not a great deal of
money was turned in, but the attend?
ance showed that interest was kept
up to the end.
The campaign has been a success.
Mi?e young men have been secured as
members than ever before, about two
hundred and fifty names of new mem?
bers and renewals having been turned
In during the campaign. Many of the
new men have signified their inten?
tion of joining classes in the gymnas?
ium and an increased interest is ex
pected there as a result of the cam?
paign.
Although not as much money was
secured In the campaign proper, as
was secured in former years, more
was secured when it is considered that
$1,570 was pledged on Sunday after?
noon, which was not counted in as
a part of the campaign money. In
the campaign $1,183.00 was taken in,
whicn is less by about $150 than was
taken In last year. However, last
year the special committee secured
$1,755 outside of the campaign mem?
bership fees of $1,30.6. making a total
of $3,061.00, which is $237.50 less
than was taken in this year in the
special committee campaign, which
secured $545.00. the $1,570.00 pledged
Sunday afternoon and the campaign
membership fees. This year the
amount pledged Is thought tc be more
than that pledged last^year In the
I campaign.
Sujnter Observes Clean-up Dar.
The Southern Underwriter.

received by the public with enth.usi.u
tlc approval.

The big pile of tin cans gathered
up some nine ago on the fe^^j lot
at the corner of Main str
Hampton Avenue is still t!
should be removed at once, orTt""mny
be the cause of what it was sought
to avert, the breeding of mosqui to;>s.
The matter is therefore called to the
attention of the City Manager, Cham?
ber of Commerce secretary, or other
aui lioiities who were responsible for
the good work done in having the cans
collected. A wholesale breeding place
for mo8(|Uitoes is more to be dreaded
than retail breeding placet, but it Ifl
best, if possible, to eliminate both.
