basing its program on the knowledge
that 20 per cent of this city's activi-
ties were industrial, began to offer its
building and equipment for the use of
the public insofar as such use did not
interfere with the activity of the assoc
cations members.
The result has been that nearly all
of the women's clubs of the city and
many other organizations used the
building as a meeting place. 1t is es-
timated that last year more than 1000
persons used the building for this pur-
pose.
Some Community Activities
Some of the community activities
conducted by the y in which mem
bership in the association has not been
required, are: Americanization classes,
the community orchestra, swimming

boys in the city, the city-wide father

be done, such as aiding in establishing

The women's department has two
units, and has six hour periods each
week. with a possibility of more pc
RODS within the two groupings.
This schedule leaves II periods
each week for young men and business
men for their tournaments and leagues
and seven periods for boys contests,
not including the two hours on Satur-
day afternoons which have been left
open.
Double these Al periods with the
swimming periods which follow each
physical period and it will be seen that
the association has a weekly program
in the physical department of 81 pc
RODS a week.
"All this calls for a much larger
personnel than the " can afford to
employ on its limited budget. To meet
this situation the department will or
ganize a leaders corps in which
picked men will be trained for leaders.
This schedule does not include the
MANY tournaments and leagues which
will be held IN addition to the regular
classes.
To Promote Wholesome Activities
The physical department also SUI
pervises the rhower bathrooms, the
locker rooms, the locker office and
