gave very helpful talk at last weeks
meeting of the Granger boys. The
meeting was held at the community
building. Unfortunately, because of
the flu, q number of the local MEM

delegates at the State Conference for
Older Boys held at Youngstown last
weekend The delegates were Har-
old Cook, Harold Phelps and Reed
Lehman, Mr.. Cook being elected vice.
president Of the conference.
The Litchfeld association bids fair
to set some new standards in connec-
ton with the Association work Of the
county. For some time the boys of
the local group have been meeting
at the Methodist church building,
which for several years has not been
used regularly for church purposes.
In connection with the sale of this
building the first Of the week, ar
rangements were made whereby the
property is being put into the hands
of the Litchfeld Y. M. G. A. Board
of Directors, consisting Of Messrs.
Grant Hull, w. E. Leach and A. H.
Breyley. At meeting Of the board,
together with boys and young men OF
the local organization, last Tuesday,
definite plans were made for giving
the citizens of the township an op-
portunity at an early date to COM
plete subscriptions sufficient to cover
the nominal cost Of the property. 1t
is understood that this place will be
used for the good of the community,
including work in behalf Of the girls
and young women as well as the
young men and boys. A helpful and
timely program is being planned to
be carried out in connection with the
local activities under the leadership
Of Rev. O. G. Bedford and Mr.. Ar
| thur McQuate. Everett Randall is
serving efficiently as the president OF
the local group Of boys. 1t is prob
able that in the near future a Sec
:, ond group of young men will be or
ganized.
