 At a short business meeting of the members of the Ys M. c. an amend- ment to the constitution Twas adopted which makes the business of the fiscal year come to a close April 30th in
 stead of August 30th as in previous years. The primary idea and reason
 for making this change was to bring
 the close of the fiscal year for the To-
 cal Y. M. c. A. on the same date as
 that of the international and state
 committees and many other associa-
 tions throughout the country. An
 other motion passed at the meeting
 for the approval of the board of dl-
 rectors was that the president be em-
 powered to appoint a committee ol three to revise the present conStltu- tion of the association and to present the same at it's next business meet ing. Secretary J. D. Elmendorf pre- sided at the meeting.

 ing, while war songs will be rendered by Messrs. HoWIet and Shea. local musicians.
 The town of Mansfield is among those that have established q note= worthy record in connection with Liberty loans. In. all previous loals, the citizens have oversubscribed by q big margin and on the present Victory l loan, they are so well over their quo ta, that a special effort is being made ] { odoublc the towns quota in this drive. It is to be hoped it succeeds ! for it is apparent that some towns
 may fall short and will have to be
 helped out by others oversubscribing.
