Y.W.C A. REPORT SHOWS DOUGLAS
ORGANIZATION DOES FINE WORK

Experts from the report of the
Y. w. c. A. secretary tc the board
Of directors at their meeting in Feb
ruary show that TIE y w. c. A. is
doing a big piece of local service in
its various activities and hospitality.
"Cntil one adds UP the day by day
numbers of people using the building
it is impossible to realize how many
do usga the FWssGs a. as a place
ofkmeeting, recreation, rest, or con
veiIience," said Miss E. Marjorie Will
liaTns in her report. Fourteen differ
ent organizations used the building
several times, and this is entirely
aside from the various ". W. G. A..
organizations which naturally use the
building as meeting place. These
organizations vary from church COM
mittees, clubs, committees, charitable
or philanthropic Organizations, to in
dividuals using the building for such
purposes as music recitals. Approx
imately 400 people, men and women
boys and girls, wer> in the building
for some such purpose during the
month, most of them using the large
recreation room ustairs, but many in
the reception room downstairs for
smaller meetings.
Besides these non association acti-
vities centered in the Y w. G. A. the
number of women and children con-
nected with the organization totals
$780, This includes the meetings OF
all Girl Reserve clubs, special COM
mittee meetings and parties connect
ed with them, the Y. w. G. A. Recre-
alton club and the Adventure club.
A very sizeable total as many of
these are in relatively small, groups
The capacity of the building. to hold
thirty such meetings was at times
stretched-but always reached, even
when other community organizations

bureau in which women who have
rooms to rent, and women and girls
Cand even men, somtmes) who wish
rooms, are helped to- make connec-
tions. This work is spasmodic show
ing the tendency of people to move
about on the first of the month anG
especially with change of the
weather. Young girls and women
who are strangers in the city are
helped to find congenial and pleas
ant rooms or homes while here,
through this service.
BY maintaining a tull-time secre-
tary the Y. w. C. A. is able to rem
der many small services and num-
ber of Important ones which do not
come under any of the above cate
gories. Emergency cases are referred
to the proper authorities, and gem
eral information bureau is the role

way from writing a want ad for a
woman who could not write but

ing tea and toast to an old lady, and

the days work, aside from the regu-
lar activities of the Y. w. c. A. for
the secretary.
Loaning of it's equipment is one of
the common services of the associa-
ton and things borrowed during the
last 80 days have included the set Of
stage curtains used by four different
organizations, the folding chairs,
dishes and silver, tables, and coffee
pot Each person or organization
BORROWING any article is asked to
sign the4 name of the person respon-
sible to a list of articles borrowed.
This is written in duplicate and pro-
vides both a means of checking up
on borrowed property and an assur-
ance to the borrower that he is not
being charged with more than he ac-
tually took out. No charges are made
for such loans to responsible organ
izations, since this is a service to
the community.
Altogether, the work done purely
! in service. to the organizations and
people of the community seems one
of very real and large Importance.
