Buildiiig Fund Is $160,000; Individkials Will Have Opporunily The campaign to raise funds foL the Wilkes YMCA hnlldlng will be continued by 'the house to house canvass committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. B. G. Finley. Last year the total of $36,000 In cash and bonds plus $6,000 In pledges were raised by contributions from indnstrics, business and a few individuals.
