 Endowments.
 I wish it were possible for me to re. port an increase of our endowment. funds. If the citizens of Norwich could but realize the importance of having adequate funds of this character. feel that the response would be more generous in the future than in the past. We are, very grateful for the sum which has been given to us and which now amounts according to the trustees report to $sO,625. Perhaps someone will read this account and realize the opportunity of service to the men and boys of Norwich, and add to his will a clause making the asso- citation a beneficiary for liberal amount.
 The association has been very fort unate in retaining the services of General Secretary Edwin Hill as well as Boys Secretary Ely. Both of these men have given unsparingly of their time and services and have worked early and late in order that the in- creased duties which devolved upon them, with the decreased force of as sistants, might be accomplished. I be- speak for them the cooperation of every member of the association and ] trust that each one will consider it his duty as well as his privilege to hold | ap the hands of these two splendid of | ficials the coming months.
 | Our association was greatly honored in May, 1917. by having the Honora- i ble William H. Taft as it's anniversary speaker. MT Taft's coming to Nor wieh was one of the great events in our history and his address at our an- niversary gathering held in the Davis l theatre was one that will not soon be forgotten.
 Bishop Acheson, of the Episcopa Church of Connecticut, also honored 1 us by his presence, giving a large au- dience- a most stirring and helpful ad- dress in the Davis theatre.
 l It is to be our privilege to have as our anniversary speaker at the Davis l theatre on Sunday, May 12th Dr | Thomas Travis of Montelair, N. J. Dr. Travis having heen for many months identified with the National Y M. c. A. War work among the sol. dier boys in France and will give tC us his personal experiences gathertt from daily life and what it means tt
 be in active service in the trenches.
 In closing may I express to one anC all my very sincere appreciation of thu co operation that has been given tht president during the past year. w, realize more than ever the need il this community of services whicl Ishould be properly rendered by our as sociation and I ask your prayers tha Gods blessing may rest upon our en
 tire work during the coming year. I lis my desire that we shall fill large place in this community than ever be
 fore and that, cooperating with oth CT organizations which alike engage il
 the building up of character. we ma, make Norwich better city in 191
