Glenwoods new Y. NJ. c.. A. was
formally launched last Sunday, January
! by meeting for men at the reading
room in the Association s new quarters
in the Sweet block. Rev j. NJ. Dickey
being sick ana unable to attend, Rev
G.. A. Foote presided and made a very
forccful and practical address which
was much enjoyed by those present.
Monday evening number of the
young ladies of the town received the
men and boys of the new organization
at the hall The evening was very
pleasantly spent in social way, the
ladies having thoughtfuIly provided
plenty of music and appetizing refresh
ments. The music by Harrington :
orchestra and the solos by Mrs. Everett
and Mr.. Foote We're especially appre-
cated. All were greatly pleased with
the splendid quarters which have been
provided and throughout the evening
there were many expressions of salts
faction over the fact that some thought
is at last given to the boys and the
years have yearned for Il pleasant,
CHEEKY place in which they might spend
their evenings under wholesome in
fuences and environments.
The Y. NJ. C. A. seems to offer "A
solution to the vexatious problem of
the past and the business men and citi-
zens of the town generally are waking
up as never before to the fact that
there is something worth while in the
boys of this town and that they are
well worth saving. To that end the
Y. NJ. c. A. has been organized and to
that end it will be conducted as long
as the good people of the town give
it the financial support which its OBJ
jects seems to warrant.
Negotiations are now on for some
athletic equipment for the rear room
which will be used as a game and eX
ercise room ana already a class of
boys has devoted a couple evenings to
indoor baseball. Two basketball squads
have been organized and active prac-
tice will begin at once and it is pro
posed to make the circuit of the state
in a series of games with other teams.
Carleton Hubbard has been elected
manager and he has already starte
negotiations looking to some lively con
tests.
The personnel of these squads is as
follows: Squad No. l, Thayer Hub
bard, captain; A. II. Miller, T. Hub
bard, C. Hubbard, Blossom, Schultz.
Dickson, Mays. Cowles; Squad No. ?

NJ. Broughton, A. Broughton, c. Sum
mers, w. Summers, l.. Baltic, II. Bailie,
French, Gallo, Kggin.
From these squads, with perhaps
other players added, will be formed
two teams which it is believed will be
a pride to any organization.
Already the daily papers from over
the state have begun to arrive at the
reading room and these with the lead
ing magazines VIII be kept constantly
on the tables for the benefit of mem
bers and visitors.
Many details are yet to be worked
out but the directors are awake to the
needs of the young men and are giving
much of their time in order that the
Glenwood Y. M. c. A. shall meet these
needs in the best possible way. The
board feels very thankful to the young
ladies who planned and rendered 50
successful this initial reception and
also to the members of the Glenwood
Reading club who have shown such a
lively interest in the organization and
have already been so helpful in a sub
stantial way.
