The great number of small dona
tions received is gratifying, in one
sense, to the campaigners, for it
shows that not merely the wealthy,
who can afford it, but the rank arid
file of the citizens of Birmingham,
appreciate the worthiness of the
cause, and want to do their bit. Re
cently a man in prison, hearing that
the Boys’ club needed help, sent in
a little sum of money, with the com
ment, “If there were more Boys’ clubs,
there would be fewer men like me. ’
The building material men of Bir
mingham not only are subscribing
liberally to the club fund, but are
pledging donations of building mate
rial and hauling service to help in
the construction of the new build
ing. The committee handling dona
tions of the building material men
has not ^et reported, but it is pre
dicted that when they do, some other
committees and some other groups of
Birmingham business men are going
to feel pangs of Jealousy over the
showing made.
