lar sports will again be formed
into a club and organize the youth

veloprnent.
The weightlifting and body
building class will be given at the
local YMCA for members of the
''Y'' and other men in the vicinity
who would like to encourage the
sports for more Of the younger
boys.
Adam Smith, YMCA physical di-
rector, organized the club and
Monk Peterson, former U. S. para
trooper and weightlifting instruct
or, along with Kenneth Wooten,
former body builder, will instruct
the weightlifting and bodybuilding
class.
"We want to promote an all
round body building and weight
lifting class for the young men OF
Wilmington so that they will have
strong. sound, and healthful
bodies" said Smith.
The class is for men and boys
II years of age and over, but the
unfortunate lads under II cannot
be a member of the club because
the 'Y'' does not have enough in
str1ctors to watch he kids. ga per-
sonal injury can easily be received
if one does not know the funda-
mentals of lifting weights" said
Smith, land we wouldn't like to
see a young man injured for the
remainder of his life"
The weightlifting class will meet
three days each week, at the 'Y'
and the remainder of the week can
be used for taking any type of
calesthenics needed.
The bodybuilding exercises will
consist of calesthenics, wrestling,
boxing, handball, basketball, base
ball. and swimming. This
will completely move all station
ary muscles of the body that are
not ordinarily exercised properly.
Taking care of the body de-
ponds wholly upon the person TAX
ing the course, and sleep and eat
ing is a very important factor in
the safekeeping of the body"
stated Peterson.
s'The class will meet Wednesday
night at 8 o'clock in the 'Y' weight
lifting room and all members and
men who want to join the class
should call the "Y" immediately
stated Smith.
Measurements of the body will
be taken and a few minor exer-
cises with weights will be started
in order to be sure that everyone
is limbered up before the regular
class commence.
Smith said that the partition in
the weightlifting room will be abol-
ished and a number of weights
will be ordered. Platforms will be
made for the bar-bell floor.
Charlotte has one Of the best
weightlifting clubs in North Caro-
lima and after a. year of training
the local group plans to partici-
pate in meets which may be

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1947-
This day produces a person of
great capacity for knowledge
with a keen and retentive mind.
There is great versatility, some
times too much, since it may
draw the abilities into too varied
channels. Avoid the tendency to
Incidence and self-indulgence and
cultivate strength of mind and
purpose. Success will follow.
SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1947-Here
the desires are turbulent, yet
there is pervading gentler ele-
ment often turning the mind to
the study of nature and her
problems, or softens the ten
dercy to excited action. Success
may come early in life, and if
proper care is taken, it will be
permanent.

A Modern YMCA

Now that the ball has began rolling on the drNe for funds to
be used in the construction of a YMCA in the Mfd-Cty Community.
1t is imperative that " e the citizens of this section keep it rolling.
The Elks Iroqouis Lodge No. 81, under the leadership OF its
Exalted Ruler Attorney Charles T. Davis is to LIZ commended for
leading this fund raising campaign with a contribution Of $500. This
same organization went to the forefront earlier this year when the
members contributed $1,000 to the Chkldren's Memorial Hospital.
If the YMCA initial gift goal of $4,000 is to be realized every
Icivicminded organization and citizen must give their 100 percent
support to this drive. This opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile
project such as the building of a much needed YMCA shouldn't go
nuheeded by civicmiinded organizations and citizens. Monetary con-
tributions Of various denominations is Needed now to insure sue
cess.
Milton z. Johnson, ~welLknoNm local druggist in the Mid-City
Community acceptance Of the Craftsmanship Of this Initial Gifts fund
drive for 800 is and should be testimony enough to the skeptic that
the progressive young lkaders Of our community are behind this
vast program. All of the citizens of the MidCity Community must
rally behind Milton Johnson and his diligent working committeeman
giving them all the Financial assistance that is ueeled to bring this
Initial Fund Raising Campaign for $4,000 to a victorious conclu-
sion.
There s to be later 0 n this fall a $4,000 general fund drive
making the total for the Mid-City Community $4,000 These two
campaign drives will be merged with the cty-wide YMCA Funds
which will come out of the total for a modem YMCA in the Mid
City Community. For $4,000 the Mid-City will be able to enjoy
a much needed modern and upto-date in every rresIsct YMCA.
Through the complete support from all citizens of this commun-
iy there is M reason on Gods green earth that another community

An article in the New York Times by by RUSSELL Porter observes
that the business community agrees with Mr.. Truman that prices,

away initiation and prevent an economic coHopd. However, it Wig
orously rejects, The idea of sole blame, and Insist that the problem
cannot be solved without the cooperation Of labor and the govern
ment."
1t would be ridiculous to assume that representative American
business favors an economy Of high prices. Our industrial machine
depends on mass production and mass consumption, and nothing
could be more ruinous than to have millions Of buyers priced out Of
the market. A number of manufacturers have reduced prices late

atens a big cuhair or a nsmall iocual nstore is in intimate toucuh
with cuonnsumer probhmns, and he thoroughly nndernstandns the
gravity Of the situation. q
Important as these efforts to solve the price problem are, they
doomed tn failure unless government and labor taS steps to put
their houses in order. The volume Of government spending is, in it.
self, a major influence in favor of initiation. And so, to an ever
increasing degree, is labor's insane 2emandsi for higher wages at a
time when production per manhour is we'll below the normal in
many basic industries.
So far we seem to have look to business alone to lower prices.
That is saekng the impossible. Unless the other two dominant in
