The new Canteen on the first
floor will be in operation about
the time this article reaches you.
1t will sure be nice set-up for
the employees on that floor.
They have waited long and pa
tiently for this new improve
ment along with the new wash
stand.
At the last Unit meeting a
motion was passed that a col
lection would be taken once a
week in the shop to be used for
plants that are out on strike
and in need of financial aid. 1t is
very important that each and
every member donate each week
for this worthy cause which will
make our Unions bigger and
better. When a worker is out as
long as they have been at Allis
Chalmers and the j. I. Case en-
ployees everyone knows they
sure do need the aid and support
of every Union member here al

of each weekly collection will
remain in our special fund fol-
our members use in emergency
cases.

Now that the Christmas sea-

cussions in the shop about gifts.
Well, folks, here is a suggestion
take it for what it is worth.
How about remembering the
poor floor helper his year? You
know he is the fellow who is
working for just one buck an
hour and still Is making your
larger take-home pay possible.
It's just a small way to show
your appreciation for his atten-
tions in the past year. Brother
guess who? also hopes to be re-
membered this year. Why not
an diversified catcher's mitt so
he can make his back Slapping
more enthusiastic as election
nears? AS for the boss, how
about a good coat of "tar and
feathers" and nice ride out OF
town on a rail?
George, alias the Rabbit"
recently tried to push a truck
over the side of the Cherry St
bridge with his motor scooter
No1v harm done was George
losing some of his hide when he
skidded about 40 feet on his
posterior. Try a General Sher-
man tank next time, George.
Have you noticed how the
boss closes his eyes after assign
ing a new man on the Hamilton
press? We understand that he IL
afraid the newcomer may DC
hurt and he cannot stand the
sight of blood.

1t remains here for YMCA serv-
ice locally. 1t is by far much TO
the advantage of the local COM
munity to have in its area a move
ment that is nationwide and world
wide because of the vast amount of
experience that is available to i'm
prove local service and to more
adequately meet some of the needs.

DO,cn Riuer Organization in
First Week of Membership Campaign

With the opening Of the annual
membership campaign of the YMCA
in the Down River area a question
that is sometimes asked is, What
l. the YAiCA?" It is a worldwide
movement primarily for men and
boys with the purpose of building
Christian personality in a Chris
tan society.
1t was organized little over one
hundred years ago iq London,
England by group Of twelve young
men who were employed as clerks
in some stores in London. These
young men felt the need for fell
lowship group that would meet out
side of working hours where they
could discuss some of the problems
that were facing young men at
that time From this rather simple
beginning the idea quickly spread
to the United States and later
around the world. 1t is lay move
ment with control in the hands of
laymen.
City Associations have a board
OF directors and branch associations
have Committee of Management.
These are the governing bodies of
the YMCA and each local asso-
ciation is self-controlled unit with
the policy and program determined
by the local group.
In the Detroit area the YMCA
is a member agency of the Com
munity Fund and receives some
financial support toward its oper-
ating budget. In addition, the bud
get requires some support to come
from individual membership fees
and residence rooms. In the Down
River area membership is the only
revenue producing feature and
therefore adult membership sup
port is very important.
As the 'Y' continues to grow and
expand in this community adult
facilities will be added to meet the
W service completely and in time
there should be a modern YMCA
building for the Downriver area.
This can be reality If the people
OF this community desire it.
One erroneous idea that has been
causing some misunderstanding
about the " is in regard to it be-
ing part Of national and world
wide movement. This has caused
some statements to be made that
are untrue and misleading. It is
true that the YMCA is a part of a
national and worldwide movement
and because Of this situation we
receive the help and guidance and
experience that comes from being a
part Of big movement. At the
same time all Of the money that
Is raised through memberships in
the Down River area is spent In
