Wausau needs Y. w G.. Al. be-
cause girls are potential citizens and
assets for social betterment: because
the Y. w. G. A. Is the only organiza-
tion in the community interested In
all the needs of girls life physical,
social. mental, spiritual; because its
activities open to every girl irrespec-
tive OF creed, class, or race are there
fore leaven Of democracy; because
Y. w. G. A. activities are whole
some substitute for undesirable COM
mercial recreation; because the Y. w.
G. A. as an INSTRUMENTATION orr
ganization is strong ally OF the
churches In promoting religious ex-
preston In an all-community way;
because the Y. W. G. A. Is a tried and
tested instrument for attaining So
eial solidarity.
IN many cases, according to Miss
Alma Blandin, who Ia general secre-
tary, there have been a number of
girls who this year have doubled
their contributions TO the association
because OF the value OF its services.
IL will be well for those who sup
port the work OF the association to
have their check books ready when
the ladies solicit them.
