Y. M. C. A. DOESN'T DANCE

The secretaries at Building 70 had
Just moved their personal belongings
from the little square tent, loaned by
White, the Augusta physical director,
to the building nearby.
One of the secretaries was in his
room fixing up matters, when a group
of soldiers passed the corner.
The windows were open and their
remarks were heard plainly.
One man said: Cad won't it be fine
for the Y. M. c. A. fellows to get into
their rooms"
Another one answered: Eyes, and
they've got fine floor for dancing"
Go on" said the other. THE Y. M.
G. A. doesn't stand for dancing, didn't
We know that"
1t is very simple incident, but sim
ply goes to prove that the Y. M. G. A.
building, by it's very presence, has a
moral influence on the men and points
them to the higher ideals of living.
