Y M C A Plans to Raise $1,000 More from Members
Secretary Harry Kreider lists sixty men and one hundred boys as current Y M C A members not yet renewed for next year. He expects at least $1,000 more from these lapsed members, adding to last week's $6,500 to reach $7,500 for operations and debt clearance. Community appeals for further large gifts to reach the final goal and start the year with solid funds. A woman sent a $50 check last week, signaling broader local generosity as the campaign aims to wrap up and push toward an $8,500 target for next year.

Denby Takes Blame for the Oil Leases
Edwin Denby testified in the Fall-Doheny trial that he bore much of the fault for the 1922 oil leasing policy. He said he suggested transferring naval oil reserves from the Navy to the Interior Department to curb drainage by private wells. Denby noted he discussed the idea with President Harding, who issued the transfer order in June 1921 while Denby was away, with some Navy officers approving the move.
