having an enrolment Of 63 boys
from their senior classes. In these
schools total of IA speakers from
professions and occupations gave
talks on their line of work as life
work and not merely as a temporary
job. There has been cooperative
work with the churches, the schools,
the County Sunday School Associa

Chamber of Commerce. The associa-
ton has been able to provide health
lectures, movie shows and conifnun-
ity entertainments for over 100 peo-
pie. The Father and Son banquet
hns taken firm hold as a nation wide
effort to bring fathers and sons to-
gether in closer Fellowship than
had been felt before. Last spring
such banquet was held in Oakland
with a large attendance and voted
such a success that it is planned for
this year. The National Father and

One big item on this falls program
lis the Second Kennebec County Boys
Conference. The first conference
was held at the Training Center on
Lake Cobbosseecontee and has been
referred to by so many boys that the
worth Ct it has been clearly shown.
During just this past year 20 boys
made decisions for the Christian
Life. One often wonders if folks
realize what this means and how far
reaching it's results may be. Last
spring in the grammar school track
meets over 260 boys and girls partici-
pated in the running, jumping and
throwing contests. One important
feature CT these meets being that the
health OF each contestant was certi-
fed to by the school physician be-
fore he or she could enter. Several
aspirants for High school track
teams nave already mentioned the
possibility of a County Track meet.
while during the winter months a
Public Speaking Contest is being
considered.
During the last week Of June an
Important Conference on Leadership

clubs from all over the State were
registered at this conference and A
were in constant attendance at the
classes. These young men are avail
able this year to their churches and
Sunday schools in promoting boys
group activities and reports have al
