Tomorrow’s meeting of the Young

First day’s in the Y. W. C.
A. campaign totaled up last night to
$620.75. This amounts to somewhat
over one-sixth of the qubta which is
to be gathered, $3,400, and since sev
en days have been allotted to the
campaign the first day’s figure pre
sents a gratifying proportion. “And
we haven’t struck our full momentum
yet.” say the workers. For some of
those whb have pledged their services
were unable to begin work, and
others could devote only half of the
day to the work. "When we’re all at
it and going our full speed you’ll see
us running the daily score up high,”
is their prediction and prbmise.
Team totals for Wednesday, as re
ported, stand as follows: Team from
Young Men’s Club, $215.00; Team No.

New workers annexed In the course
of the first wbrking day are reported
as follows: .Misses Maude

Strong’s team; Mrs. A. L. Church and
Miss S. E. Myddleton, on Mrs. R. jF.
Sherman's team; Misses Beverly
Jones and Eloise Leybourne on Miss
Eylau Anderson’s team. These new
workers carry the number of active
campaigners well over the half-hun
dred mark. 'The mbre workers, the
more wide-spread interest and the
sooner will we cover the city," argue
the campaigners. “But,” they add, “If
necessary. In order to gain our goal,
we will re-cover it too.' 1 There Is no
escaping these loyal and earnest ones,
once they’ve started. A friendly riv
alry among the teams Is rising, too,
spurring each team to top speed and
sharpening their ingenuity in sum
moning pungent and persuasive argu
ments in behalf of the cause which
they are representing.
The spirit of sympathy with this
cause and the responsiveness to it,
even when material response was im
possible. registered nearly one-hmn
dred per cent, according to the to
ports of the workers as they brought
in their returns yesterday. “True to
our campaign instructions," declared
the worker*, “we are going after the
smaller gifts just as faithfully and
vigorously as the larger ones—and al
most anybody ha* a dollar’s worth of
interest in Brunswick ‘Y’ and a dol
lar’s worth of ability to back it."
Expectation runs high That today’s
reports will cast those of yesterday in
appreciable shadow and help to has
ten the final clean-up sooner than the
end of the week allotted.
