~, One of Broad Ideals and
IF'1 T.ad Of Such an Organization
s.rrna .% is Growing in Favor
a...S s Ist to March 7th will be Y.
1'l 4 Week in Smyrna. 1t will oe
!. T. .,nose M during these seven days to
s...,t s@' the people in this community
'a'r,, ~crsment en- which has been spread
'n .rs, tbe whole country with a sur
'' Wv ,lccess. The Young WOman's
Es,i,p ,,gi Association has developed
J. veil organized body of men and
S..o from all walks of life because
I I'l mime object is the well being of
/. american girl at the period OF her
4 When she is most susceptible to
.s,,rre, both good and bad, at a time
!, life when her wOmanhOod of
.,r,ow can be nodded by sympa-
=. and understanding hands in
4 manner as to bring out the very
= malities which are inherent in
fms. but which so often fail of
..tion through lack of understanding
! srrrOnment. The Y. w. c. A.
.vt an uplift or charitable organiza-
I, and is not meant solely for the
s-,ster Of the unfortunate but is de-
.Tsj to influence for good, girls of
r,r walk of life. Nor is its object
rAly viOus in that it calls upon the
A to fOrgO the bright side of life,
| n giye up any wholesome pleasures.
bsc one of the prime objects is so
umg girl of today can live sanely,
n spiritually, and at the same time
INK deeply of those recreatiOns and
,aares which often do much to
rEs Life endurable. Mrs. C. Leland
B,monson is chairman of the local
rzch. Miss Emily Spruance is chair
m Of the finance committee, Mrs.
| D. Hofecker is local treasurer and
IE Cosdan, wife of Prof. Cosdan of
|@ High School is the local club

Wy the Y. W. c. A. is Needed Here
50 much for the broad ideals of the
|IE C. A., and now why the Y. w.
c A. here in Smyrna? Not because
Ek are in need of guidance more
ban other girls. Not because Smyrna
naes and fathers are not awake
y The needs of their children. Not
zle Smyrna affords any restric-
sn on outdoor life. Not because our
dnnmty offers less to our girls than
eE communities, but because other
rs are receiving expert and SYM
Fastlc guidance in their lives outside
Z thar homes, because Smyrna
MINERS and fathers are awake to the
'@dS Of their girls and will, therefore,
Rrome another good influence in the
Hs Of their daughters, because it is
lplg that with our facilities for out
'G pleasures not to make better use
nsn, because we surely want TINS
sanulty to offer more to our girls
~ other communities. Perhaps a
