STATELY. N. c. A.
Elk. COMMITTEE
At STATE FARM
eports of Sub Committees
Show Prosperous Conditions
Throughout State

Winthrop Center, Me, Nov. 1..-(Spe-
ciaD.-The regular meeting of the execa-
tive committee of State 7. II. C. A.
composed of men from all over the State
was held Tuesday afternoon and eve
ming at the F. ". C. A. farm. Those
present at the meeting were: Horace G.
Day Of Lewiston, chairman of the com
mittee; Jefferson c. Smith of Wateryille
State secretary; Orlando E. frost, Bel
fast, recording secretary; Horace Pur-
ington, Tateryille, treasurer: f. NJ
Isle; a. B. Clark, Greenville Junction,
and A. A. Heald, WaterviIIe, all OF the
committee.
Reports given by the committee chair
man and by other committee members
showed very prosperous condition OF
the organization in this State. The work
is constantly being broadened and the
interest and enthusiasm is growing SO
rapidly that the results are far reach
ing.
An interesting report given by A. B.
Clark of Greenyille Junction told Of the
great progress that has been made with
the work in his locality. He stated that
the Y. II. c. a. buildings We're flied with
men and boys day and night. They have
a hospital connected with the organiza-
ton which employs three local physi-
clans and four nurses. They are very
enthusiastic over the results from the
hospital plan, which is considered a step
t.
The following committee members
whose terms expired in 1915 were re-
elected for three years: Carl E. MILL
ken, Island Falls; Edward 2. Mears,
Bar Harbor: Ralph W. Carleton, Rock
port; Orlando F. Frost. Belfast: Roberr
A. Jordan, Bangor, and Horace c. Day,
Lewiston.
One of the important subjects before
the executive committee was the plans
being worked out for the erection of
more cottages AID dining halls at the
lake shore. II is expected that next sea-
son the number Of boys who wiz visit the
State camp will be greatly increased and
one Of the problems to be worked out is
to provide camps that viii be convenient
and easily cared for. This important
question was decided at the meeting ana
referred to the business committee with
power TO act.
When the Journal reporter visited the
committee room at Longwood Inn
Wednesday morning he was shown a
basket of beautiful russell apples that
were raised this season at the State
farm.
jefferson c. Smith Of Waterville, the
State secretary, said that he expected to
double up in the number of boys who
would be at the farm next season. and
that he expected to have the athletic
grounds ready for Use. Mr.. Smith also
stated that they were to have boat
house, auditorium and dining hall as
soon as the funds will permit. All these
things are greatly needed to take care
Of the boys while they are guests at the
State camp, as this proposition Of TAX
ing care of SO many young men is no
small problem. The headquarters Of the
committee was at Longwood Inn, the
property of the state Y. NJ. G. A., where
they were served with a splendid fish
chowder supper and a good substantial
breakfast.
