The Chinese Y.M, C.A/'s 38th an-uval membership and finance campaign closed its second week on Friday with à total of 29,709 points. While the 7,805 points secured in the second week were proportionately fewer compared with the first week's 21,904 points, yet the combined points for the two weeks are more than one half of the goal of 50,000 points, of which $40,000 is expected from memberships and the balance of $10,000 in contributions. The campaign closes on March 25, which leaves another two weeks in which to secure the remaining half of the goal.
The progress made is most encouraging and there are high hopes among the workers that the full goal will be reached by the end of the campaign. Keen competition is developing between the leading teams as to which will keep the lead for the final honours. There will be one more closing on March 18 and the final closing on March 25.
The ten leading teams reported at the second closing on Friday night at 6 pin. were as follows:
