Seaford churches and YMCA at
tended the 18th annual Interstate

speakers discussed various phases
Of the conference theme. Youth in

envy; DR.. Grace Louckes Elliott,
president of the National Council
YMCA; John X. Eareckson, former
member of the United States Olym-
pic Wrestling Team and DR.. James
Lee Ellenwood, State Secretary
YMCAs in New York.
Twice during the conference pro-
gram the boys divided into small
discussion groups to give consider
alton to such subjects as athletics
work, fraternities, girls, estiquette,
social relations and Hi-Y problems.
Reports from these groups were
made to the conference as whole
at the Sunday morning session. On
Saturday morning devotional per-
iod was led by Rev. A. r. McKins-
try, Bishop, Episcopalian Diocese
Of Delaware.
THE YMCA served as the confer
enee headquarters. The meals were
also served at the "Y." The boys
were entertained over the two
nights in private .homes in Will
mington. Some of the conference
sessions were held at the First and
Central Presbyterian CAurch1and
the Grace Methodist ChdtBif5N :.
The following were the delegates
attending from SeafordHTEpreaent-
ing the st. Johns Methodisf Church

Church, Robert Logan and Donald
Coon; representing rheg HIS D0nS
aid Locates, Richard Higgitss and
GLIB leader, Frank Mercer. Also in
attendance was Robert p. Bedell,

The value of such a conference to
the. boys attending can not be esti-
mated. In addition to the oppor-
tfnity to discuss vital issues the
broad contacts brought about by
the meeting of the boys and by the
experience of living in the homes
of the entertaining community are
great value. The boy often retains
the effect of such anexperience
through the rest of his life.
