Members of the Young Men's Busi-; ness club meeting in the K. of P. Temple Thursday evening, took action to wind up the affairs of the club, temporarily, and voted to retain the charter of the organization pending future action. The name of the Young Men's Business club will not disappear from the city of Richmond, however. Two funds were established out of the funds of he organization at the meeting- One fund will goyto build a hut for the

Boys' Camp, the hut to he christened I in honor of the club. Ravi Weisbrod. .

Christopher of j R0y Hodge and Ed Wilson were ap

pointed as members of a committee to , see to the expenditure of the $175 the club voted to this fund.

Paul James, Walter Fulghum and Dempsey Dennis were apointed on a committee to take charge of another fund of $175 which goes Into a Farm Boys' Premium fund,- for the benefit of the farm boys of Wayne county. The. fund will establish premiums for boys showing corn at the corn shows in this city, and will be shown as the Young Men's Business club premium fund. ' Constructive Uses In establishing these two funds the membership took into consideration a number of other worthy causes in the city. Debate brought up the names of several organizations capable of using the money. It was the opinion of the organization membership, however, that the two funds established were the most constructive uses to which the money could be put, and at the same time were as near the original aims of the club as possible. A bill of $75 for the Peele factory opening, which had been paid by individuals at the time it was contracted, was taken over by the club and paid as a civic duty. A contingent fund of $17 was left in the treasury, and the charter was oi-

dered held by the chairman of the meeting, E. K. T,'igg. .
