Bisbee daily review., 1919-05-18

head of Howell street like a giant sentinel there stands a memorial tC Mrs. Grace Dodge that will live after her through the sands of time. It is 9 home that is near to the heart oi the working girl and the professional girl To the girl that finds her way around a great big world, sometimes unsympathetic, it is home.
 At the head of Howell street is the Y. w. c. A. In 1914 the foundation was laid and since it's completion il has been a home to hundreds of girls It is the only home some of them can claim. And when a day has been end ed the trail that leads to it takes them home
 Has Fine War Record
 Although the last two years have proved difficult ones, with the entire nation struggling at the great wheels of war, the work performed by the local Y. M. C. A. has been doubly crowned with glowing success both in home duties and the concentration of efforts to the winning of the war.
 With the dawning now of peace and a new era of coviliZation a new great work confronts the Y. w. c. A. It will be for the uplifting of the mor- ale of the young men and boys through the training of the girls along a higher plane of thought and living.
 A review of the work accomplished during the past year is Illuminating. The President, Mrs. Allen. together with the members of the board of di- rectors of the Bisbee Y. w. c. A. have very faithfully and conscientiously carried out. the duties entrusted to them besides cheerfully acceding at all times to the many demands upon their time and energies for War Work. Their devotion to their duty has been an inspiration that could only foreshadow the croYning sue cess of a year filled with work and action.
