A DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION
Y. Nj. C. A. Which is to be Organized
in Marion County

The county committee which is pro-
noting organization of Y. M. G. A.
for Marion county is very anxious
that the people shall understand as
fully as possible the plan and nature
CT this work.
In the first place the committee
wishes to emphasize that this organi-
zation is extremely democratic and
that all the power and authority for
the work rests in local boards and
committees. The facts are that the
Young Mems Christian Association is
a democratic organization from the
national down through the state to
the local and the responsibility and
power for the work rests separately
with these different branches of the
organization.
The important feature of the coun>
ty Y. M. c. A. is the employment of a
trained secretary who devotes his en-.
tire time In service to the various
communities of the county in the pro-
motion of activities for boys and
young men. This secretary is employ
ed by a county committee made up OF
representatives from the. different
sections who will be Incorporated and
who are responsible for the policy ano
the character of the work to be done
and the expenditure of the funds rails
ed to carry on the program.
The time of the county secretary
will be taken in the organization OF
local associations in various towns
and districts of the county wherever
the people are willing to receive his
services. These associations shall
consist of small group of Christian
business men who back up the "Y'
program in their own community
The heart of the county "Y" work
however, is in the local groups OF
boys and young men who are to bt
organized with a volunteer leader
These groups are self-governed anc
are guided by this local leader, whe
in turn is trained and inspired by tht
county secretary, who makes frequent
visits and calls together these volun
teer leaders in occasional groups fol
training and consideration of the 7
NJ. G. A. program.
The county Y. NJ. C. A. is not nev
organization so much as it is a move
ment whose purpose is TO cooperate
with the churches, the schools. tn,
Boy Scout groups, and other organi
cations in the promotion of programs
for the fullest development of Chris
tian citizenship. In very practica
sense the county secretary hopes t.
be an assistant pastor to all tn
churches in the county, specializing
on work for boys and young men i

MARION county Board OF Trade Meets
Thursday Night to Consider Mat
ers that Will Come Before the State
Legislature.
The Marion County Board of Trade
meets In regular session Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock. At this meeting
will be considered a number Of mat
ters which come before the present
session of the legislature. The most
Important of these matters, probably,
concern taxation and the problem Of
meeting the federal highway appro-
priations, involving an apportionment
of approximately SO, ,258.97 for
Florida in the next three years.
1t is proposed that the legislature
shall provide for a two-mill tax upon
all the property in the state, for the
purpose of meeting the federal road
appropriation. This two-mill tax, IL
has been announced, will be sufficient
provided the legislature also abolishes
the convict lease system. 1t is for
the Marion County Board Of Trade,
and others, to decide whether it fav-
ors the two-rnill tax as the best way
of raising the necessary funds. The
board of trade has already put itself
oil record as favoring the abolition of
the convict lease system.
The Marion county agricultural
committee at its recent meeting
adopted resolution asking the board
of trade to cooperate with the Tam
pa board of trade, and others, in edu-
cational work looking to the adjust
ment of taxes.
Louis H Chazal, secretary of the
board of trade, has obtained from
Col. Glen E. Edgerton, the district
engineer, Jacksonville, an outline Of
the work that is to be done on the
Oklawaha river, involving the expen-
d:ture of the recent appropriation of
$4,000 Col. Edgerton's statement
will be read to the members of the
board of trade at the meeting Thurs
day night.
The new secretary of the trade
body has also prepared a tentative
program for the standing committees,
and this will be presented at the
meeting.

Ipected to have every citizen carry his
own share of the quota, instead OF let
ting his more patriotic neighbors car
~ more than their share. Local com
mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences they expressed confidence
in being able to put the job through.
and their enthusiasm is certain to car
ry them to success.
Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment Of the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing TO lend TO their
country for the purpose Of finishing
the job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on, and the necessity of
bringing the boys back home; of Civ
