24 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tucsdey, November 6, 1962 YWCA Offers World Feilowship And Close Friends To Members Although the existence of the YWCA as a women's organiza- tion in Oshawa goes-back 17 years, it is still in infancy when compared to the life story of the -. organization; the World WCA, which had its begin- nings in mid-nineteenth century England. The coming of the in- dustrial machine age brought a sudden influx of young women into the cities looking 'for work in 'factories, industries of all sorts, and business offices. Around 1855, Mrs. Arthur Kin- eaired opened a residence in London, first for nurses going to and returning from the Cri- mea, and later for all girls from the provinces seeking work in the city. In an effort to allev- fiat the poor working condi- tions, as well as poor living conditions, Mrs. Kinnaired unit- ed her association with Miss Emma Roberts women's group meeting to btcome the first YWCA. Today the "Y" is active in $7 countries, serving uncounted millions of women and girls of every race, creed and color, re- gardiess of their social and economic status. The Oshawa "yy" is one of 52. associations across Canada, and like the oth- ers, is: endeavoring to fill the meeds and demands of our grow- ing community by providing a varied program »f activities for physical fitness, social growth, companionship, and _ learning mew skills. It is a democratic organization, administered through a volunteer-profession- al partnership, using the skills and methods of social work, adult education, health and phy- gical education and Christian education. The active Program Depart- ment, staffed by a Director and an Assistant, has during the past year, provided recreation and instruction in such things as bridge (beginners and ad- vanced), ballroom dancing, trafts such as mosaic tiling and millinery, and sports such as | badminton and swimming for| adults and children. The Moth- given to these countries is in the form of scholarships which en- able the staff members. from associations around the world te study at Canadian Schools of So- cial Work, and thereby give greater direction and impetus to their countries' social and re- creational programs. These activities are all made possible by the work of the staff, assisted by many yvolun- teers, serving on the Board of Directors, Committees, in clubs, and in an Advisory capacity, and by being able to share in the Greater Oshawa Commun- ity Chest. The following officers were elected in February to serve for the year 1962: Hon. Presidents, Mrs. T. K. Creighton Miss Vera Moyse; president, Mrs. Michael Jacula; first vice-president, Mrs. H. S. Mytrs; second vice-presidcnt, Mrs. Austin Hiltz; third vice- president, Mrs. H. B. Arm- strong; recording ~ secretary, Miss Irene Boes; corresponding secretary, Mrs. A.
