editorial comment ymca founded in 1844 should plans of the interested citizens group lead to establishment of a ymca branch here georgetown will have an or ganization which began well over 100 years ago the first ymca was organized in lon don england by george williams a young drapery clerk concerned about the welfare of youth like himself the idea caught on and in canada a branch formed in montreal in 1851 a few years later a world alliance with headquarters in geneva switzerland was established and since then the program has consistently spread in canada alone there are 10 712 ym ywcas employing 372 professional workers the ymca is an organization of mem bts who plan administer and conduct diversified services all directed toward the meeti g of human needs it is flexible enough o serve both large and small coin munities and its function is to develop sound charter cnnstian personality and good citizens ip baseball revival the y invented hie games of basket ball and voljeyball pioneered in play ground work and mght schools and initia ted the first learn toswim campaign for the general public its programs include hiyi a club program for high school students so ed recreation and education for young adults ys men a club for training and developing local leaders and gray y friendship groups for boys 9 to 13 could georgetown use a y thre is no doubt that it would be a good addition to town but whether there is enough need to justify its introduction is a matter which must be decided by study tng results of questionnaires which the icg is distributing among all residents if it should come one thing to keep in mind is that there is no intention of sup planting any existing organizations or of usurping programs which are already func fioning smoothly the ymca is always ready to assist should its services be sought but it welcomes cooperation from service and sports clubs whose a ms are often along similar lines sugar and spice by bill smiley i im not much for blood

the good old days geor getown is going to have baseball as a maor sport this summer it will be the third phase of the ups and downs of what was once one of the towns maor sports attractions baseball thrived in the twenties when men like tu dor beaumont benny benham george burt fat walters to name only a few were prominent in the lineup in post war years there was a brief revival in which the ritchie brothers and scotty patterson figur ed prominently finances and lack of crowd support spelled doom a few years later and inter mediate baseball passed from the scene since then there has been a succession of teams for younger lads but baseball looked as if it was to fall into the limbo of forgot ten things now some sporting minded men havo 1 given t a largesea e rev vat not oniy is there to be an ntermeci ate entry in the county loop but a uven le team is planned as well baseball is not a cheap sport to mam tain and the money must come from son e wnere if the teams are to be

in education which will have farreaching results for young george tow ners in years to come while technical education has not been impossible the difficulties of commuting to the city have been a stumbling block to young people who could benefit to a large degree by the technical training which today has become allimportant to the ob seewer who can no longer command a good position with native intelligence and the sweat of his brow it is not to be suggested that technical train ng snould supplement academic sub jects entirety nor does a technical educa tron mean tnat literature language and tne broader aspects of culture are neglected for purely practical subects like auto mechan ics welding or woodworking in a composite school it should on tne contrary be possible to combine academ c and technical training in somewhat varying proportions according to the needs and abilities of students who are going to enter a business wortd which is in the tnroes of an automation revolution ust
