City Smoke Abatement
Committee Reports on
Elimination Progress

3 The following report of the city
Smoke Abatement Committee, com.
posed of Councilmen Louis Brohl
ST.. Clifford T. Burke, Richard T
Kelly and Fred w. Classon, inspec-
tor, was prepared and presented tc
the city council, reporting on the
recent dust and dirt difficulty in
the city.
Due to last weeks shower OF
dust and dirt precipitating on GER
tain sections of the City, this in
turn causing numerous justified
calls of complaints and comments
about same, We feel it fitting and
proper at this time to report the
following facts, as an explanation
as to its cause and our progress
upon its elimination.
Wind direction being in the
proper direction and atmospheric
conditions being ideal for quick
precipitation caused this to fall
within the downtown and residence
area adjoining so that it may be
termed the heaviest fall we have
had so far.
In addition we have had no ap-
probable rainfall to wash the air
since September Is, and taking in
to consideration the amount of dirt
congregating since that time along
with the burning of leaves, and the
accumulated dust thereon being dis
turbed, and our heavy concentration
Of flu dust from heavy industries
in the South end of town, this made
conditions ideal for the heavy show
er of dust and dirt.
There is no doubt but what in
dustry is the greatest violator of
this nuisance, however, nature did
not help us any during the four
hectic days Of the dirt storm, until
Friday night, when we had a show
er Of rain and a change in direc-
ton of wind.
AS to abatement of this nuisance.
we have been in contact with the
largest violators numerous times
and they are conscious of the nui-
sance they are creating and since

their objective Of the amount need
ed to furnish and equip the new
YMCA building; and merchants are
contributing to this fund.
| The widespread community in
tereSt being shown in the expan-
sion of the YMCA service in the
downriver area helps to make the
YMCA project real community
enterprise. From the beginning OF
the local YMCA branch nearly four
years ago, it has been a community
project with people of quite vari-
ETY. Of groups becoming interested
IN the development of the YMCA.

membership open to boys and girls
and men and women. Women are

that the YMCA project Is nov ano
has been from the beginning a real
community enterprise directed by
men and women and developing a
program of service for boys and
girls and men and women
The response of such q wide vari-
ETY. Of groups and individuals in
contributing toward the fund for
furnishings is an outgrowth of the
policy that has been and will be in
effect to make the YMCA a truly
community enterprise without any
discrimination in the service of the
YMCA to youth and adults of this
area. This is one Of the most unique
branches of the YMCA in the world
and one of the newest. 1t is most
unique In its basis o. organization
In the downriver ar, which is on
a family basis. The pytrpose Of this
policy is to enable ~: YMCA to be
OF the largest service sr5ssible in the
downriver area andAat the same
time proceed on a program policy
that is fundamentally sound from
the standpoint of effective group
work. The committee of manage
ment Of the local YMCA believes
that the family approach is the
most effective approach to group
work in this modern day. The more
the activities of the YMCA or anv
other social agency can be related
to the home and the family as a
unit, the more effective the pro-
gram will be.
The local committee Of manage
ment OF the YMCA is very CRATE
ful for the widespread community
interest in the project and partic-
ularly because the groups and indi-
viduals that are supporting this
project are those who are primar-
lily interested in the youth of this
area.

In this war, Finland was as
much an occupied country as Hol-

has been even more occupied be-
cause her alternative to occupation
by Germany has been occupation
by Russia. Finland, like Poland, but
unlike France, does not have the
alternative OF occupation or liberia
