CLUB NOTES
YWCA Plans Progressing Says Mrs. Gail 4. Ross

waterbury women'S dreams for a Y. w. c. A., "are getting better all the time," as evidenced by the pro- gcess made since last February 19, when staff membery of the na- tional Y. W. arrived in this city to alo local women leaders in estab- nshment of the local association.
 Mrs. Gail Andrews Ross, mem- per of the War Community Service staf and representatives of the Ma tlonal Y. w. board, on that day took a quick glance at the city, set up her headquarters at The Elton, rolled up her sleeves" and went to work at the extensive task of organ izlng committees and getting the ball rolling for establishment of the Y. w.
 Recalling her first glimpse of the city, which she now compares en- tnuSlaStically to her own progress slve hometown of San Francisco, Mrs. Ross stated today that the im- pression left by the railroad station has fingered on, and that the sturdy utilitarian structure, with its vast collection of manufacturing exhibits to her typifies the whole city.
 What she describes as 'the strong sense of recognition of the import ancs of skilled labor in social and economic development of the com- munity" and the industrial pride of management and employees have impressed her immensely, she states.
 Some communities have a hal- low pride, but not Waterbury," she said. Workers from other parts of Che country have been sent here for training at manufacturing concerns, and the local people know they can wei be proud of their industrial achievement"
 Today, less than three months after the national organizer began her work here, the Waterbury Y. w. is well within sight. Papers of in- corporation have been filed, more

than 300 charter members have joined, acquisition of building is well under way, and the group is ready to name its board of directors adopt a constitution, and begin a vast program of activities.
 Waterbury has a nice cultural background that lends itself to de- velopment of Y. w." Mrs. Ross commented today, relaxing momen- tarily after completion of the heav- fer portion of her task.
 'The city is rich in cultural con- tributions of nationality groups that make up the community" she said. Although there may be seg- regation to some extent into nation- ality and economic class groups, there is also cross-sectional ten- dency, she pointed out. This desire to work together has been noted in various civic and social undertak- ings, she said, adding that it should be greatly important for setting up a successful Y. w. program.
 The quality is demonstrated by the Y. w. provisional committee, Mrs. Ross pointed out. The 67 mem- bers were selected to represent var- ious groups of the city, but prac- tically all of them have rolled up their sleeves and taken assignments on subcommittee and are partici- pating in a down to earth" way, she said.
 Mrs. Ross stressed that the desire for a Y. W. must stem from the community itself and that the na- tional board will not consider any aid unless the community is able by itself to carry out the program We go into a job only when the forecast is that the committee can take hold and go on under its own steam" she said.
 The national board sends a rep resentative to help organize the local committee and see that ma- chinery is set up to get started on the right foot, she explained. The community must have the intent and financial ability to take hold, she said.
 Mrs. Ross stressed that she came to Waterbury only after 8 local group had notified the national board of desire to start Y. w. here. A survey of the Council of Social Agencies disclosed the need of such program here, and follow ing discussion-session, steps were taken by the local people to found one, Mrs. Ross stated.
 Although the membership drive is still continuing, the original quota has been surpassed and program considerations are well underway. Some of the activities are expected to start this month.
 Mexico City is to have a $1,- 25O, 900 industrial palace.
