noon Meeting Appears to Have
Died Out.

new organization was launched
at the Y NJ. c.. A. Sunday after
noon that promises we'll for the sea-
! son s work. This is a club whose
purpose is to furnish an attractive
! gathering of some sort every Sun
day afternoon for young men. The
old fashioned Sunday afternoon
1 mems meeting at the association
seems to have played out, as the
older men have so much to do on
Sunday that they are not able to give
the time to make it go, and the
younger fellows are going to take
/ the matter into their own hands.
The plans for the new meetings
are not completed, but it was decided
Sunday that the program should
! include the study of subjects of cur
rent interest, under competent lead
/ ers. so as to get the connection be-
! tween current events, social prob
| lens and the like. and the progress
| of civilization. The meetings will be
/ held on Sunday afternoons at
O'Clock and a fellowship lunch will
! follow, with a social hour. There
will be no requirements as to mem
/ bership except in the matter of age.
| Any young man Is years of age or
over may attend, and attendance will
constitute membership. The name OF
the club has not been chosen, but
several names, such as Sunday
! Club" Discussion Club" and Cur
rent Events Club" have been sug-
/ gested.
Two committees were appointed
/ SUNDAY a program committee, con-
sisting of Leo Stevens. Arthur Lun-
deem and Raymond Wilson. and a
lunch committee. consisting of
Frank Wilcher, Ben Hartz and Curt
Lundeen.
