Y. M. C. A. Drive a Success 



In order to carry out the plans of the Board of Directors for many new improve- 

 ments and betterments to meet the increasing demands being made upon the Associa- 

 tion, the local branch of the Y. M. C. A. opened a campaign on May 1st to secure 

 120,000 with which to carry out the improvement program. After an intensive drive 

 lasting seven days, the committee reported that the desired amount had been secured, 

 tvith the exception of a small amount, which, judging by the way the money is still coming 

 in, will more than hkely be oversubscribed. 



This is the largest amount which the Association has ever tried to secure in Cuba 

 and the success attained by their efforts proves that the work they are doing is 

 appreciated. Captain McDonald of the Munson Line secured the highest amount of 

 contributions, amounting to $1,762. He was closely followed by Mr. Bray, representing 

 the Coca-Cola Co. in Cuba, and Mr. Brownson. president of the Purdy & Henderson 

 Company.
