High School Boys Are Interested in Y. M. C. A.

Dr. E. W. Strecker accompanied the following high School young men of the county to Indianapolis Friday: Charles Halleck, Lawrence MpLain, Willis Wright and Paul Washburn. The last named was from the Remington high school and the first three named were from the high school here. The young men attended a meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association from all over the state. The purpose of this meeting was to plan for a drive to raise in this state more than a half million dollars for that organization’s war fund. The plan is to enlist 5,200 young men who will see that each raises ten dollars each. Our young men are greatly interested in this matter and will take hold of the campaign in this county. They want sixty young men to join them and are sure that our quota of S6OO can be raised. The entire amount need not be paid at once but can be paid in small weekly payments beginning with SI.OO next week and paying the last dollar on April 21, 1918. / This is one of the greatest means we have to reach in a helping way our hands to the soldiers. The doing of this work will help the boys and the money will be of untold benefit to those who are winning the war.
