~ NEEDS OUTSIDE
OPERATION FUNDS
Can Do Skeleton Work
Only If Community Does
Not Give Assistance
BY ADAM SMITH
'Y' Physical Director

Why is the Y.M.C.A. not self
sustaining? W Y should the citi-
zens of a community who are not
members and especially those
who are not interested in the
purpose or program of the YMCA
be asked to support the institution,
These good questions and
no attempt should be made to
avoid them or attempt to answer
them by a shrug of the shoulders
Or by saying ali cities support
their YMCA's."
The questions are raised more
often in a city when funds are
raised through a C O munity
Chest than where the YMCA
carries out its own financial cam
paign. Chest solicitors are not al
ways acquainted with the financial
policy of e YMCA; therefore,
r not in a position to answer
the questions. A n d. in a Chest
campaign all are called upon to
pledge and support the agencies
although they may not have any
interest in n or more of the
agencies.
Even in Wilmington where the
working relationship with the
Community Chest organization i S
fine there is understanding
a n d cooperation, questions arise
during Chest campaigns. When
the questions are raised they
should be answered by stating the
financial policy of the YMCA;
that is, ''that the YMCA tries to
keep it's fees and rates within the
pocket-book range Of young men
and boys"
The YMCA is a youth organi-
cation. a character building As
ISOLATION. 1t is not a commercial
enterprise. Youth organizations
throughout the land are supported
in part by contributions of friends
Of youth.
The YMCA of Wilmington could
be run for less money-certainly
it could. The signs could be un-
lighted, a skeleton organization
set up, program and services
could be limited. In other words,
Wilmington could have a YMCA
which might go along with
banked fires. But the Wilmington

Although the 40 candidates in
the race for City Council indicated
a much greater interest being
shown in tn eNeW Hanover High
school students participation In
their city politics than the citi-
zens of Wilmington their City
Council showed similarity to the
real governing body in its delay
in naming a police chief.
When announcement was first
made that the members of the
government classes would rule the
city for one day, April %, under
the sponsorship of the Junior

fairs committee - many remarks
were made TO the effect that lat

ed favorable or ~unfavorable re-
ports and which were passed. In
other worms, the institute follows
each bill from its introduction to
its ratification.
So efficient are the members of
the institute that their .mimo-
graphed bulletins are on the desk
of each legislator long before the
printed copies come from the
House.
The institute, many times SIM
plifies the meanings of certain
bills by printing their real como
tations, rather than the mere le-
gal terms which are often so con-
|fusing, especially in amendments.
Two sets of bulletins are compiled
bf the institute - one on yellow
sheets for the House and enc on
blue for the Senate.

Receiving an A. B. degree from

Upon completion of these courses
he entered the Army, before Fearl

YMCA does not care to carry on
its work in that way. 1t is mere
to 'Match the times" to meet the
known demands of S city. to
make a strong appeal to boys and
men.
Tomorrow's character is made
today, sounds like another saying,
LAS the twig is bent, the tree is
inclined" Bow Or tree 1t sounds
reasonable. T h e findings Of the
ages are in those two quotations.
One of the happy features about
the 'Y' is that one may enter
its life and activities at any time.
Some do not begin until manhood.
but. others start when they have
reached the minimum age and
continue through = out life. This
young mar came to the "Y" as
a young boy and will undoubtedly
continue through a life time.
First it was the "Y" boys
division with its gym, swimming,
social and club program. In the
summer it was camp and all the
varied experiences that 20 viii
it. Then it was a HELPER in
many ways. Then as camp lead
er, later as a part-time employe.
But always as a friendly, helpful,
e a G e r participant in "Y"
family.
After college his work took him
to the orient. Again the threads
of Y interests were picked up. In
time he found himself serving as
an employed officer in an Army
and Navy YMCA, Pearl Harbor
and its momentous aftermath en-
quilted him. Thirty : seven months
in an internee camp is a tragic
story, the details Of which must
be omitted here. Came de-
liverance-just in time.
After return to this country and
long recuperation period the
threads of his Y story were again
gathered together. BY time
they were the fabric OF his life.
He is again a Y employed officer
working with young men in the
Armed services. The many facets
of his Y experience plus his SYM
pathetic understanding of young
men of this generation, will result
in a life of service once again
makes the Y investment in boys
such a productive one.
There is a fund available at the
YMCA known as the worthy
BOYS Fund" 1t is contributed by
many of t leading citizens OF
the town. Many women and a
number of young men contribute.
They want boys to enjoy the Y
activities. Boys are sent by min
listers, S c h l teachers, county
and city officials and by business
men Of the city. Boys are never
refused a membership in the local
YMCA.

else briefs for publication in daily
legislative bulletins was the job
Of Wilmingtonian David Scott and
other representatives Of the Uni-

Scott became connected with
the institute, which has its cen
trail office in Chapel Hill, q year
ago, shortly after his release from
the army.
When the General Assembly
opened in January, the institute
set up offices in Raleigh, and Scott
was n of the workerst here. To
quote Representative Robert Ker-
mon "the Institutes work was of
untold value to the members Of
the General Assembly"
AS each bill was introduced by
a legislator, a copy was enclosed

the institute prepares a bulletin
including a condensed synopsis Of
