WILL ASSIST Y. M. C. A. WORK

Thirty-eight High School Boys Pledge $lO Each. Rev. E. W. Strecker gave a talk to the students of the Rensselaer public schools Friday morning in the interest of the campaign in this county to raise $7,000 for Y. M. C. A. war work, and thirty-eight high school boys signed pledges to give $lO each to the fund, payable any time before April 1, 1918. These pledges must be countersigned by the boy’s parents, and one of the stipulations is that the boy must earn the money himself.' Money acquired in any other way will not be accepted. It is thought that a number of other students in the high school, as well as some in the intermediate grades, will sign pledges before the close of the campaign. The work in the high school is in charge of Mr. Kratli, Charles Halleck, Lawrence McLain, Walter King and Walter Randle. Mr. Dimmitt and Willis Wright have charge of the work ih the grades.
