CAMPAIGN TO RAISE $1,250,000 TO HAVE WHIRLWIND FINISH
Oregon Methodism Will Continue With Renewed Vigor Efforts Successfully to Terminate Endowment Drive for Willamette University by Wednesday Night Approximately $175,000 Remains to Be Raised.
OREGON Methodism this week
will continue with renewed
vigor its efforts successfully
to terminate by midnight Wednes
day the forward movement cam
' paign for $1,250,000 for endowment
far Willamette university. The
whole sum must be pledged by that
time or none of the subscriptions
Tecoraed to date will be effective
and the school will, in addition, for
feit right to 3360,000 offered by the
general education board, providing
that the friends of Willamette must
obtain 'he $1,250,000.
An estimate has been made by the
leaders of the campaign that ap
proximately $175,000 remains to be
secured throughout the state. That
means, they de lare, that It will be
necessary for everyone engaged in
the drive to put forth every possible
effort to complete the campaign and
win the victory by the stipulated
time. Reports will be gathered and
another progress announcement will
be made at the noon luncheons of
Portland and of Salem workers to
morrow. It will then be known Just
how the campaign stands and what
are the signs of success.
Every resource of the Methodist
Episcopal church la behind this cam
paign and It is declared by Bishop
Shepard of the Portland area; Dr.
W. W, Youngson, superintendent of
Portland district, a..d others in au
thority that it 1b the most extensive
ly organized and most thorough
going drive ever put on In this state
for an endowment for Willamette.
TAey are devoting all of their time
to the work, together with all of
the ministers and -many laymen.
Portland and Salem are engaged
In city-wide campaigns and each is
pitted against the other In an effort
to see which can first obtain pledges
of $300,000. Portland Is in the lead,
but Salem has made a splendid
showing, when the size of the two
places is compared.
Dr. John W. Hancher, councillor
In finance of the board of educa
tion, has been in the state for sev
eral days, with a staff of men and
women, assisting m the campaign.
He has had charge of many such
campaigns, several of which are
now In progress throughout" the
country, and declares that, if the
forees behind 'lis drive hold fact,
they will put this endowment fund
over "In a big way" by Wednesday
midnight.
"I will also state," said Dr. Han
cher, "that It is generally recog
nized that Willamette university has
one of the best outlooks of any
school In the United States. Had it
been otherwise, the general board
would not have done so handsomely
as to offer conditionally $360,000 for
Its endowment. It has a wonderful
future of usefulness ana its record
of 80 years is the best guarantee
that, if this endowment Is success
fully pledged by Wednesday mid
night, It will have a more wonderful
part in moulding the future of this
northwest."
Portland headquarters of the cam
paign are In the Artisans building,
where Dr. A. L. Howarth, area sec
retary. Is in charge of the city-wide
feature here.
In an effort to enlist the Interest
and assistance of the churches of
Portland in the programme of the
Portland Americanization council, a
letter has been directed to 250 local
pastors by the council, asking for
the names of the presidents of the
women's organizations of the
churches througfl whom It la ex
pected to recruit volunteer workers
for the survey of the foreign born
population, which the council will
undertake soon.
The council also recently Issued
a pamphlet setting forth concrete
things that various groups may do
to assist In solving local Americani
zation problems. Under the head of
"What the Churches Can Do," the
pamphlet says:
"Get into contact Immediately
with Immigrants of your own faith
and render such services as may be
seeded.
"Make your church a center for
Americanization activities. Are jou
not partly responsible If your com
municants do not speak English, are
not citizens and do not meet real
Americans?
"As long as you have no Interest
In the foreign born they are forced
to o'rganlze and maintain churches
and social organizations of their
own.
"Include, in the study classes and
programmes, the need and work of
Americanization.
"Appoint an Americanization com
mittee to formulate plans and co.
operate with the Portland Ameri
canization council.
"Furnish volunteer workers for
the various forms of Americaniza
tion work teachers, visitors, 'nves
tlgators. etc -
"See that the entire church mem
bership Is regularly supplied with
Americanization literature. Write
to the headquarters of your relig
ions denomination for literature
"Co-operative with the Portland
Americanization council, not accord
ing to your religious beliefs,, but
according to tfle dictates of yout
conscience as an American.''

mind stored with recollections of
her services for this ancient Chris

chief factors in the remarkable suc
cess of the first campaign in Oregon
in 1917-1918.
"When I saw Mrs. Emrlch In San
Francisco Just after the armistice
was signed her face was radiant
with Joy at the thought that with
her husband and three boys she
could now plunge Immediately into
the depths of the suffering that she
might relieve her friends in the near
