EVERYBODY IT AT "Y" BANQUET; HAAS REPORT SHOWS NEED Probably no business men's banquet ever held In . this city, was so well represented ; or Indicative of community spirit than the one held in the Grace M. E. church Friday night .The relative place . of .the V. M. C. A. In the life of the coming business men, the. opportunity of moulding the plastic health, mental and spiritual instincts of the boy of .today, were all emphasized " and eloquently presented by men of experience and ability. Merel Sidener and Judge Orbison, both of Indianapolis, were enthusiastically received and appreciated. Following the speech by Mr. Sidener, Will Reller, the toastmaster, presented Judge Orbison, as the last speaker. The subject used by the Judge was "The Y. M. C. A. from the Business Man's Standpoint." ." Rev. Backus Gives Invocation. The meeting opened with an invocation by the Rev. A. H. Backus, pastor of the Grace M. E. church. A threeeonrse dinner was enjoyed, served' by a corps of women from the church. ' Special musical features of the evening were a solo by Thomas P. Wilson, boys work secretary of the "Y" and the singing enmasse of "Indiana" and other popular tunes. Mr. Reller proved an excellent toastmaster, and Edgar- Haas, general of the two divisions which start actively on the drive next Tuesday, presented a very interesting talk on the past Y. M. C. A. campaign movements, and the hopes for the present one. Mr. Haas' report in part follows: "It is the custom of every Y. M. C. A. to make an annual campaign for funds to meet the probable deficit of its budget for the current year. This amount varies in the different cities from $70,000 at Dayton, $30,000 at Indianapolis, $13,000 at Muncie, and " $9,000 at Richmond. In our own association it has grown from about $5,000 per year in its earlier years to $9,000 for this year. Expenses Are Rising. "It must be apparent to all why this Increase. Expenses have risen here as well as in every , other institution, owing to the condition of the time. Advances have been made in fees but they could not be raised sufficiently to meet the cost without materially reducing efficiency. "As a consequence It will require about $9,000 to take care of this year's budget. For 1918, it was $7,000. and 1919 $8,000. When we compare these figures with Muncie at $13,000, and Indianapolis at $30,000 and Dayton at $70,000, we find our budget is not excessive. "Last year we lived within our income. This year the board first de

cided that a campaign be put on to i raise $30,000 and clean the slate. Owing to the Interchurch campaign, it afterward set its mark at $15,000; $9,000 for the budget and the balance to be applied on improvements that had to be made. "Our present debt at the bank is $14,500. This is distributed as follows: For deficits in maintenance prior to 1819, $7,000; for repairs to building

with new steel trusses, $3,000; lor remodeling cafeteria, $3.500; for deficit In malntalnance since first of, year, $1,000; total $14,500. "In providing for our current year's needs we must add to this amount $9,000 for maintainance and the probable cost of installing a filter system for our bathing pool, which will be de manded of us, another $2,500 to this would bring our total obligations at the end of the year to $25,000. "This would indicate that if we raised $15,000 in this campaign we will be able to pay for maintainance this year and pay for the improvements in cafeteria and bathing pool and still leave an interest bearing debt of $10,000. Whatever amount we would raise in excess of $15,000 can be applied on the $10,000 debt." tt We Are Seven," Chorus Of Boys, Girls, In Birth Report Seven . girls and seven boys were born in Wayne county during the past week, according to the birth reports obtainable at city and county health offices Saturday.
