Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1917-11-15

In each OF these a soldier was strum
ming on q plano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One of
the soldiers said to me as l stood In
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: 1--WE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. NJ. C.
A. on the Job, and It's been a home
and more than homo to us. 1t gave
us what we wanted when we needed
1t most. Well never forget 1t. The
boys best friend Is the Y. NJ. G. A"
Fine, clean-cut, Outstanding Fellows.
How close those benches were pack
ed with mon, bending over the long
tables absorbed in their writing!
What an appeal to the sympathies
those great groups OF soldiers make!
Fine, clean-cut, outstanding fellows,
some of thcm mere boys, one thinks
Immediately OF the sacrifice they have
made for the rest of US and how pre-
cious they are to some one back home.
Somewhere, In far off farm or village
or city street, there are parents or
brothers or wives who would give all
they possess for one glimpse of those
sunburned faces as you and l see
them on their last night before going
across. And 1t was with a throb of
the heart that / watched them, bent
over their letter paper in one after
another Of those seven big tents.
These were the tents of the Y. NJ. c.
A On that last night in America the
association was serving the soldiers
in the best of all ways-giving them
an opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box
ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics
and score of healthy entertainments
as well as religious meetings But on
this last night home ties were strong
est. And perhaps that is the keynote
of the splendid work the Y M. G. A.
is doing among our men in uniform
keeping them In touch with home.
Magic Words, with the colors."
In these times there are some let
ters that mean more to us than any
we have ever read before. They are
written on sheets of paper stamped |
with the Stars and Stripes and the
red triangle of the Y M. G. A., and
they bear the magic words, with the
Colors" There are many more than
a million such letters in the mails now
while you read this. Perhaps one at |

part Of the world to another than sta
tistics can express. Statistics are
pretty poor anyway when 1t comes tc
reckoning in terms Of love and human
tenderness Let's put 1t this way:
That the Y NJ. C. A is the biggest ex
press company the world has ever
seen, and the parcels 1t is handling
are the loves and devotions Of human
beings.
Worlds Best Loved Trademark.
This war has made US think hard
and fast. Your boy or your neigh
boris boy or some boy you know and
love has been called to do his share
IN the big job OF policing the world for
! democracy and human liberty. Is it
any comfort to you to know that wher-
ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave friend that will serve him
in body, mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
organize classes to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him
pocket testament and invite him to
Join religious meetings of the faith
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games If he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
M Of Ii
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will go with him overseas, help
to shield him from a score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench
and beyond It? The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves so
we'll Is cup of tea given him by the
Y. NJ. G. A. free just before he goes
"over the top" to hand to hand strug-
gle with the enemy. And as he comes
tottering back from No Mans Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed
the Y. NJ, C. A. is waiting for MIN with
tea and sweet chocolate, the great COM
forts of the man In the trenches. Do
you wonder that the Red Triangle is
called 1the best loved trademark IN
the world?' One soldier in France has
called 1t the last evidence that any
body cares"
II every thinking citizen could see
with his or her own eyes something
of the actual work being done for our
men by the association there would be
no question of the Y, M. C. A. having
to appeal to the public for money.
Rather than let this essential work
falter for an instant rich men would
sell their motorcars, poor men would

~ T was evening on the broad
II Hampstead Plain, Long Island,
where the Rainbow division was
spending its last night before embark
ing for France. 1t had been raining
hard in the afternoon-a cold, steady
autumn downpour-snd there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow in the
outward aspect Of the camp. Lines
and lines of sodden canvas housed
$1,000 men, gathered from q different
states The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires, Under the wet
canvas it was damp and cold, with a
penetrating chill. Lit by flickering
candles, the tents were far from cheer
full shelter for mans last night in
his native land.
But there were seven big tents
where electric lights, numbers and
friendliness made the night pleasant.
