Many eope are today stopping in
front at the Y, M. C. A. office to
view the'foorner-stone which is be
ing: exhibited there. Secretary Rudd,
in commenting on it said, "I find that
people want'1 to know three things
about this stone; who made it, what
is the design' on the Washington
street face of the stone and when it
is to be laid, 'it is a pleasure for me
to announce :that this stone is cut
'ter Mr. 'E.CC.Davis who very gen
erously presented the stone complete
to the Y. M. C. A. The design on
'the side of the stone which will face
Washington . street represents the
emblem of the Y. M. C. A. The Elm
street face ''reads in plain English
"Y. M. C A. , 1914". This means
more than the average date for the
Board of Directors have very wisely
selected as their goal, "The Y. M.
C. A. Built1 and Paid for, in 1914."
Mr. H. C Grady, chairman of the
committee having charge of the pro
, gram for the laying of the corner
stone will be able in a few days to
announce the date of that ceremony.
It will probably be on either Sunday
May nth ', or 24th.
"1 suppose that some people get
tired of . hearing me talk money all
of the time, so I will make just one
simple, statement and quit for this
time; some delinquent subscribers
must pay in their part of six or
seven hundred dollars by the middle
of tnis month in order to save interest
to the Y. M. C. A."
