"somsbody hit me crack in the
Kennebec Journal this morning. I
don't know who did II and don't
care. but want to tell you some
thing about the history Of the move
msnt that secured for Augusta the
splendid building and equipment OF
men and material that make up the
Augusta Y. M. c. A. organization"
remarked . busy professional man
on Water street Thursday forenoon.
He added:
when I thought Of what It might
mean to have that splendid 'institu-
tion,' a. referred to by an Augusta
business man. lost to the boys and
girls of this city. I thought Of the
remarkable address given by Hon.
Frank G. Harrington at Board Of
Trade meeting in Augusta several
years ago. In his address Mr.. Far
rington appealed to the finer senti-
.ments Of every man and woman in
this city. He voiced the feelings Of
many Of our leading citizens. that
there were along our streets many
places that were not providing the
wholesome influences needed for our
boys ana girls. He demanded Of
business interests and OF every citi-
zen who had the welfare Of our chill
dren at heart that q place be pro-
vided where our boys, in particular.
could find . wholesome influence,
clean amusement ana . Christian
spirit Of helpfulness that could not
be found In some Of the places OF en-
tertainment then open to and invit-
ing the young.
"Mr. Farrington's appeal was 50
strong that q group of citizens gave
Of their money and their time and
secured for Augusta the nearest
thing to q real home environment
that has yet been conceived,-a place
where good men and good women
are leading the young people IN
sports and amusements Of the right
sort.
''Now say let's not forget the his
tory Of the movement which provid-
ed q modern Y. M. G. A. equipment
for Augusta, or our duty to support
and to keep it UP to the standard
which was established in 1915 when
tho building was first opened. Let's
not forget that this institution exists
for our boys and girls primarily. and
affords them opportunity to compete
