n. ". Blanks, business secretary
of the Dallas Y. NJ. G. A., who at the
invitation of officials Of the loca!
association attended the meeting of
the executive committee of the board
of directors Friday, was invited TO
come here as membership secretary, It
was stated Saturday. 1t was voted
by the committee to ask the authori-
ty of the board at its next meeting
to complete arrangements with Mr..
Blanks to take over the position as
soon as he can be released by the Dal-
las association.
This increase in the executive staff,
according to members of the commit.
tee. is to be made with the view OF
enlarging activities of the association.
The need of a membership secretary
was pointed out in the report OF the
president at the recent annual meet
ing and election of officers. Since the
transfer of C. w. Whitehead to
Sherman, Texas. in 1921, according
TO the presidents report, no one has
been regularly assigned to look after
membership with the result that the
growth Of the association has been
retarded. While it is not intended tc
put on membership campaign should
Mr.. Blanks take the position. he WI!
keep in touch with the young men o.
the city who each year become ELL
eligible, and will work to make thu
Y. NJ. G. A. more attractive to then
as to those already belonging.
He has been with the Dallas asso
citation for two and one half years
He had quite an extended experience
in "Y" work during the war.
