Every Sunday morning the
central committee met in con-
ference with the political lead
ers of the halls. Reports were
rendered. and the plan of ac-
ton for the coming week laid
down. These sessions took
place in the prison church.
Church attendance was COM
pulsory.
The prison pastor was an
arrogant young Elite Guard
officer. His sermons were a
potpourri extracted from the
Bible. German mythology and
Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf."
There was little opportunity
for surreptitious' communica-
tons among the mass of
prisoners IN the nave.
Our organization confer
ences were held in the choir,
which was situated on a high
gallery on the far end of the
church.
The choir master was
kindly old man who was
always ready TO do the prison
ers favor. The organist was
a former Social Democrat.
The sexton was fanatic
Catholic who hated the Hitler
movement. But all three wore
the swastika badge and were
members of the NaZi Party.

Reports on the varied summer and fall activities, on the present membership and its composition, and on the general financial pie ture of the local YMCA, in addition to a synopsis of the discussion held at the recent National Council meet ing, were heard at the October meeting of the "Y" board yesterday noon. President Leon H. French presided.
 As might be expected in period of so much social unrest and chaos, the organization has redoubled its efforts to furnish intelligent and worthwhile leadership to young men. This is the busiest season the local "Y'' has seen in many years, it was reported. Summer camp &C., tivities also were more extensive than in any other year.
 According to statistics quoted at yesterdays meeting, the YMCA has 1 5, 346 members, of which 2,408 are men and an additional 1885 boys. Participating in the organizations regular activities are 1903 women and girls, enrolled in the clubs, bowling, dramatic, and educational groups. as well as physical educa- tion classes.
 The total enrolment of women in | activities at the "Y", including both membership and non-memberShip groups was 33,O36 for the past year. This figure includes the thousands | of young women who attended some of the 160 dances and other social 1 gatherings there during the year.
 Women also come to many meet ings at the "Y' and its branches sponsored by other organizations, to whom the "Y" extends the use of its buildings.
 According to the financial report submitted by Treasurer c. Raymond Ganung, this past year also saw progress in the reduction of the ir1- dehtedness which the organization has faced since the depression years. | The Y is now about $10,000 bet ter off financially than at this time last year.
 l Herbert s. Smith, general secre- tary, reported on the National Coun- cil meeting held last week at Co., lumbus, which devoted its atten- tion for three days to devising a strategy calculated to meet the needs of present-day youth in the i 70 nations of the world in which the organizations has branches.
 MT. Smith last night quoted the following statement made at the Council meeting by Dr. John R. Mott, international president of the YMCA.:
 "The YMCA is the power that it is in the world today because its foundation is laid on Christian principles. The highest type of strategy and statesmanship in world l affairs is demanded of the YMCA today.
 We are facing war, cruelty, so- cial unrest, extreme reaction, but 1t is also a time for aGvance. The nations of the world and the youth of the world need the wisest guid- anee which Christian organiza- tion can produce today.
