i i i When you buy your new '55 MODEL be sure lo ask your insurance man about First National's "Bank-Agent Plan" a top combination of. insurance coverage and low cost financing By ROBERT J. HAMP JR. John.P. Fredrick, Kokomo industrialist who long has been associated with the Kokomo YMCA, has accepted the general chairmanship of the Y's $550,000 financial campaign.

His appointment was announced Friday by Robert L. Boyd, president of the YMCA. At the same time Boyd announced that the Rev. Jo M. Riley, pastor of the Main Street Christian Church, and Philip A.

Young, a state leader in Y's Men's activities, will be associate general chairmen for the campaign. Objective for the campaign, Kokomo's largest in behalf of a public service institution, is the modernization and enlargement of the association's 44-year-old building. This move, delayed by the financial depression of the 1930's and further retarded by World War II and subsequent other necessary community projects, long has been considered a "must" if the YMCA is to continue to grow and to be a force for community good in Kokomo. An organization of more than 5001 local citizens who believe in thej desirability of an active and well-j equipped YMCA, is expected to be working on the campaign. Preparations have been going forward for several months and an nouncement was made last summer that the entire month of February will be given over to the most intensive work in the project.

At the present time a group headed by Phil Palmer, retired public utilities executive of Xo- komo, is working on the preparation of prospect lists which volun- ieer soticitators will be using in February. Fredrick, as campaign general chairman, said: "To make possible the giving of the substantial amounts necessary to successfully complete this $550,000 modernization and building fund which is the largest voluntary effort for the youth of Kokomo ever will be made so that every contributor will find it possible to give more than he or she could in one cash jayment, the pledges will be on a six-payment basis covering three income tax years." He pointed out, "This campaign should not be confused with an nual campaigns, that it will be a once-in-a-generation Capital Fund Investment in Youth Challenge to our ability and He stated, "The board of directors and advisors had full faith that the public spirited and generous citizens of Kokomo will provide the full fund so that our youth many years to come will profit jy a modern and adequate YMCA juilding." A schedule for campaign organization has been laid out and as leaders and workers are enlisted Jieir names and responsibilities will be made public. Looking ahead to February, the campaign general chairman said meeting dates for the drive or- already have been selected. A breakfast meeting will be held on Jan. 28 for the purpose of acquainting the volunteer workers with the plan of solicitation and to provide them with printed matter which will acquaint prospective with many of the and purposes of the drive.

An inaugural dinner on Wednesday night, Feb. 2, will open the public phase of the movement. Campaign workers will be asked contribute as much as they' choose toward the cost of the meals at which reports wjll be received in order that expenses of the drive will be kept to a minimum. The first report meeting of the large volunteer organization is scheduled for five days after the drive's start, Monday. Feb.

7. Subsequent report meetings will be held on Friday, Feb. 11: Tuesday, Feb. 15; and Friday, Feb. 18 Resolute in a faith that the campaign will end in complete success, those directing the planning have scheduled a "Victory Dinner" for the night of Wednesday, Feb.

23. From this time on, it is staled, the YMCA staff will be giving emphasis to pre-campaign work while carrying on the regular program schedule of the YMCA. The general public is being asked to be considerate of the Y's program staff if some of the activities receive a secondary place to the forthcoming campaign. REV. JO M.
