 During the last year The Man at the Desk has been called to the phone hundreds of times to answer one thou sand and one questions in regard to service in the army, the ship yards, the Red Cross, etc. In nearly nine cas- es out of ten he has been compelled to answer "I don't know" Some peo- ple might infer that the 'Y' secretar- ies were somewhat indifferent and did not wish to be bothered. We desire to take this opportunity to state that this opinicn is entirely erroneous. We know nothing that would give us more pleasure than to give out information along these lines, but if we have not g,.r s-I, nd wit gard to these matters. how can We give any out? What is needed in the dis trict at the present time is some cen tral point where all those who desire to render their service to the govern ment in this hour of need can get all necessary information with blanks, etc Is it not possible to establish such a bureau of information.
 The association would gladly serve in that capacity if the proper information was forthcoming.
