Grown From Old Custom.
Outlining the history Of the asso-
citation and the significance OF the
jubilee celebration. Miss Ruth
Koeney. educational secretary said:
"Thc golden Jubilee has grown out
OF the old Hebrew custom OF cele-
brating every nifty wears by special
fcasts. which should rehearsc the
events of the past five decades. This
is to be. then. the motif OF the COM
ing celebration to last through the
month of February in the United
Stutes-to show the world the
achievements of the past and the
ideals of the present rather than to
promise extravagant things for the
future.
Few people know that the Y. w.
c. A. was founded I'm England and
that the founder was a man. Sir
George Williams. The association In

every evening a strange sight that I.
for one, shall long remember. This was
the parade of nearly two thousand
geese through the main street at about
5:O o'clock every afternoon.

winding river that shimmered like
molten silver in the setting sun. grew

there ! would have waRered on the

act time than on the village clock. But
| always found myself looking at my
watch so would not miss the event OF
my day.
Promptly at $3.50 the 1000 geese. who
had spent their day on the river bank
below the village. were gathered together
for their parade homeward. Sensing the
hour without signal. they, would draw
nearer each other and nestle close while
they waited for their leader.
on tho stroke of the hour the leaders
set up a cry and then the march began.
Gp tho river bank they would wRddle
and march through the main street with
much pomp and circumstance of noise
The stTanHest part of the whole pro
CecGinE was that, without guidance ~
driving. each Of the geese would waddle
into his own yard for the night. Like
