The Y. NJ. c. A. dormitories are con-
stantly absorbing, caring for, and
housing hundreds Of young men every
year. The building is now equipped
with forty bachelor apartments and
has during the past few months ac-
commodated as many as sixty-five
young men at one time. This depart
ment is under the personal supervis-
ion Of Secretary Wolf who is ably
assisted during the day by Miss Olive
Best, who is matron in charge.
The rooms are thoroughly over
hauled each week receiving practi-
caIly a regular house cleaning. Out
side help is secured to do this work.
The bachelors have organized what
| is known the the Resident Members
club. This club is the social life OF
the association. Many a stranger re-
ceives his first welcome into the build
| ing through the members Of this or
ganization. Every resident is menu
Der of the club. They have an out
door baseball team, representatives in
the tennis tournaments, support an
indoor baseball team and seem to be
in about everything going. They have
bimonthly state dinners where most
| everybody Is expected to do some short
stunt while the new bach is given
warm and generous welcome and
| the hand of good fellowship into the
mystic order of the "the hall room
boys"
Every third month the general Sec
| rotary makes a cancass of the rooms
and secures the permission Of the fell
lows to notify outside organizations
Of which they are members or are in
| terested in. In this way the pastors
| of the city, clubs and lodges find
many new men. A few days ago such
a study was made. 1t was discovered
that in the church line there were 15
Presbyterians, IL Methodists, Cath
olics, Lutherans, 3 Episcopalians, 1
Diciple, Free Methodist, 8 Baptists,
and 1 Unitarian.

The above story illustrates the OPP
portuniticS and usefulness OF this
1 great organization. Certainly parents
who are sending young men to FAR
go to attend the colleges could well
afford to investigate the X. NJ. c. A..
while red blooded young men who
come here to fiji the various vocations
4 about the city could make no better
investment than the investment Of
their time and money in the live or
ganization Of the Fargo Young Mems
Christian association.
