Maxwell of Colorado Springs chosen
physical director. vice Rev j. L. Nc
Creight. who has been filing the place
temporarily, pending a selection of a
permanent director.
The new secretary came to Canon
City on March % on his dicharge
from the military service to take the
position of secretary OF the junior de-
partment, and made good on the
job. So successful was his work that
he succeeded 10 the supervision of
the association on the resignation of
W. E. Fisher, TO go to Denver TO enter
the Y VI. c. A. war work service un-
months he has had entire charge of
affairs of the local association, and
his discharge of its duties has been
highly gratifying to all concerned. He
is obliging and accommodating at all
times. is popular with the members
and his administration of business
matters has been such as to commend
itself to the association authorities
In electing him general secretary the
board of directors has given deserved
recognition to his services. and his
promotion to the position will be
pleasing to those who know him best.
Mr.. Else was connected in an Off
cial capacity with the Pueblo Y NJ. c.
A. for couple of years before coming
to Canon City. and he has a host of
friends there who will be grained to
learn of his advancement Mr.. Else
was born at York, \. D.. and has only
lived in Colorado four or FIVE. years
He entered the military service under
the selective draft and was given an
army training at Camp Fremont, CAL
Camp Dix. y. J.. and Camp Mills. l. /.
1t was a disappointment to him that
the signing of the armistice last No
vember prevented him from going to
France and taking an active part in
the war with one OF the combat divi-
sions- Since beginning his Y NJ c.
A. work here Mr.. Else has been ably
assisted by Walter Stafford.
The selection of Eldcn Maxwell TO
be physical director of the local ~ is
generally regarded as a good one. He
was here at one time in that capacity
and proved himself efficient and pop
ular. He resigned the place here TO
90 into the army. and he is now with
the overseas forces in France Be
fore leaving here ne expressed de-
sire TO return 10 Canon City when the
war was over 10 resume his position.
and that fact was influential in caus-
ing his election by the board of direc-
tors last Tuesday.
Mr.. Maxwell is now on lis re,drn
to the United States from E,lrope
and expects to be mustered out of the
army within the next few weeks, and
will then return TO Canon City. He
does not yet know of his election tC
the physical dictatorship. Rev. Nc.
Creight does not desire to continue
the work which he has been doing al
the Y. NJ. c. A. for the last FIVE or ST,
months. and nobody will welcome ths
return of Mr.. Maxwell more hearth,
than he Rev. McCreight's work ha.
been eminently satisfactory, and un
der his direction the physical train
ing department of the Y NJ. c. A. has
never been mere efficient and popular
j than il is now
