The reports at the meeting of the board of directors of the Y. M. c. A. last night showed 6,026 paid and affiliated members of the Y. M. c. A. The program of activities of the Y. M. c.

A. shows a net gain for these eix months in its cost of operation of $4,000.
 The business efficiency of Y. M. c. 4. is indicated by the amount on percentage of subscriptions re- quired to balance the budget. In normal times the Y. M. c.

Y Meets Depression
 With New Program
Operating Receipts Show Gain Despite Drop in Revenue - Organization 90 Per Cent Self Snp- porting

terbury Y therefore last night, were .elated to see that in the midst of the depression Waterbury Central Y. M. c. A. was 90 per cent self-supporting, showing Q need of only 70 per cent in sub scriptions.
 The Brooklyn branch for the month of october was only 23 per cent self-supporting and the North End branch only 20 per cent. Gen. tral branch in Waterbury, however, is running so strongly that 1t is able to absorb the big deficits at Brooklyn and North End so that the total Y. M. c. A. project for Waterbury this year requires only IS per cent in subscriptions as compared with national average of 2S per cent requirement when times are good. Of the $37,000 needed in subscriptions for the lo- cal Y. M. c. A.. only $32,155 has been pledged. This remarkable showing. therefore, in the midst of hard times, spurred the board to action toward securing the balance needed.
 With the exception of the dormi- tory. practically every department of the Y. M. c. A. showed in- creased activities over last year and any year previous. The three build- ings are continually crowded with the youth of Waterbury in wide and diversified program of activi- ties.
 The program of democratic, self governing fraternal clubs. for both young men and boys of all ages, seems to have gripped the imagin- ation of the young men. the work ing boys the high school boys. and the younger boys of the city. This program that Is being carried on in the local Y. M. c. A. Is at- tracting the attention of. Y. M. c. As not only in waterbury but in many distant cities. It is a network of self-governing clubs with a four fold program, social. phlysical edu- cational and spiritual. The mem- bers of the older. Young Mems clubs are furnishing leadership for the Boys clubs.
