Fifty-Dollar Check and Letter of
Appreciation From Vermont Ave
nue Christian Charch.
With less than $10,000 needed to
reach the $25,000 goal of the Y. M. C.
A. drive for the benefit of non-revenue
producing departments of the asso
ciation. officials today expressed con
fidence that the successful culmina
tion of the campaign would be
brought about within the next few
days.
Although the influenza epidemic
played havoc with the ranks of solici
tors during the official duration of the
campaign, the personnel is declared
to have been greatly augmented by
friends of the association and the list
of donations received through tin
mail at headquarters in the central
building. 1726 street, has increased.
Among the gifts received yesterday
was a check for $50 from the board
of officers of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church. In his letter con
taining the check 1\ Fulton Harris,
treasurer of the board, said: "The
Vemont Avenue Christian Church ap
preciates the splendid assistance ren
dered so often by your religious work
secretary in yelping us out when our
pastor', Dr. Earle Wilfley. was called
away on business or by reason of in
disposition on his part. The board,
however, is giving this money largely
in recognition of the invaluable serv
ice the association is rendering the }
young men of Washington and in fur
ther recognition of the great good
and helpfulness the organization per
formed for our soldier boys in
France."
