"If Off Your Route It Pays To Walk" Se THE Y.M.C.A. DESERVES SUPPORT OF PUBLIC Its Record of Achlevement In Kingston for the Past Fifty-nine Years. Fifty-nine years of building bet. ter citizens is the story of the King- ston Y.M.C.A. It is the story relat- ed to the early life of this city and a reference to the files of the Whig of a half-century ago will prove that this organization was doing an ef- fective piece of work in the commu- nity at that early date. It is the story of a great need and of an asso- ciation organized to meet that need. ANDERSON'S QUALITY LARGER MARKET SERVICE Main Stove: Princess and Division Streets.

Such a story would tell how men of vision, and rare devotion to the wel- fare of a city's youth have struggled on from small beginnings often con- fronting difficulties and frequently at great personal sacrifice, until there has been established in King- ston'a splendid work with boys and young men. A perusal of last year's report would convince one that the Y.M. C.A. is meeting the needs of the present generation of boys and young men even as it has met the needs of those who have already passed through the institution. In this age of motors, movies and jazz it is no easy matter to interes: and hold the youth of a city and yet there were 532 members, 216 of whom were boys between the ages of 10 and 16 years. There wera 261 different individuals enrolled in the physical department with the record attendance of 2,545 in three mouths. There should soon be plenty of ma- terial for basketball teams in King- ston since there were 96 boys play- ing that fascinating game in orga- nizéd teams. A tennis club was or- ganized during the summer months which provided out-of-doors recrea- tion for a number of the members. During the summer also, the Asso- ciation conducts its free swiraming campaign for the boys and, by loan- ing the use of its equipment to the Y.W.C.A. makes it possible for the girls of the city to receive swimming instruction also. Turning to the educational fea- tures we find that 360 boys attended 'educational talks and movies in three months and that the "Poultry Club" had 18 enrolled with an at- tendance of 144. There would seem to be plenty of room for the Association to conduct night classes and it is expected that this feature will be developed during the come ing season. The religious side of the Associa- tion's activities is what gives it per- manence and it is interesting to note at the attendance in Bible Classes is on the increase while the atten- dance at religious meetings in three months totalled 830. Boys, when Joining, are interviewed by a mem- ber of the staff and the whole pur- pose of the association explained. Personal problems are dealt with in a sympathetic manner and th® boy is made to feel that he fs among friends who will help him over any difficulties." The association helps maintain a Canadian secretary in India and the boys také a promi- nent part in obtaining this fund. Perhaps in its co-operation with other constructive forces in the community does the association show its genius to best advantage. Mention has been made of the co- operative scheme with the Y.W.C.A. The same plan is followed with the church clubs, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and similar organizations. Meetings of 22 different athletic, church and welfare organizations were held in the building during the past 6 months. The 100 patients at Mowat ho.pital have been looked after by the Y.M.C.A. who have sup- plied movies every week and has been responsible for -erganizig concert parties every week for six months of the year. , During the present week the as- sociation is holding its annual fin. ancial canvass for funds. It urgent Iy requires $8,000 to meet the cur- rent year's budget and pay off an accumulated debt of $3,000. With such a fine record of achievement behind it and with so much work to be done there should be no hesita- tion on the part of citizens generally in making a contribution to this in- stitution which helps to build the best type of citizens--a city's great- dance held under the auspices of Rose of Derry Lodge, No. 404, L.O. B.A. There were fourteen tables. AILY BRITISH WHIG ee ------ STAGED A HOLDUP WITH ToY PISTOLS Clifford Woodruff Pleaded Guilty and Was Given a * Term In Reformatory. * Clifford Woodruff, aged twenty- five years, appeared before Couaty Magistrate J. W. Bradshaw, on Monday morning, and pleaded gulity to the charge of robbing John Nolan, taxi driver, on the night of January 10th, 1924, and was sent- enced to a term of twelve months, with an indeterminate sentence of two years, less one day, in the On- tario Reformatory. When Woodruff appeared before County Magistrate Bradshaw, W. H. Herrington, who appeared for him stated that he was prepared to plead "guilty" to the charge and elected to be tried by Magistrate Bradshaw, Mr. Herrington asked that before sentence was passed that the pris- oner be allowed to make a state- ment, which was granted. Woodruff stated that he had enlisted for over- seas service and had served for eighteen months with the 18th In- fantry Battalion, was wounded in the arm, and suffered from shell- shock. He was confined to hospi- tal for five months, and was treated for shell-shock. He said that he met two men in Winnipeg in 1923, and had not met them again until the night the robbery took place in Kingston. The two men, who had a quart of liquor, told him that they were up against it for funds, and said that they saw Mr. Nolan with a roll of bills, and suggested a rob- bery. He stated that he, with the other two, boarded the auto and started out in the direction of Bath. When the car reached a point near Collin's Bay, the men who had se- cured fifteen cent water pistols at a store in Kingston, held them up in front of Nolan, order him to stop his car, and they relieved him of the $150 which he had. Woodruff stated that when ar- rested by the police, he had given the names of the two other men who took part in the robbery, and was prepared, if they were apprehended, to appear in court and give evidence against them. He also stated that he saw the two men in Winnipeg last fall. When he concluded his story, Magistrate Bradshaw stated that Nolan certainly must have thought that they had an instrument which would do him harm or he would not have given them the money as he did. . T. J. Rigney, K.C., who prosecut- ed, stated that Woodruff by his con- fession, had acknowledged a crime which was punishable by fourteen years in prison. He stated that after Woodruff was Arrested, he, by his own story, had implicated himself. Mr. Rigney stated that the crime Was a very serious ome, and asked the magistrate to impose a severe sentence, as the inhabitants in the Frontenac must be protected against men of this kind. Mr. Rigney said that he felt sorry for the man and his family, but nevertheless, young men "who think they cam get away with crimes of this nature have to be made to realize that the laws of the land must be obeyed, and he, as one of the officers whose duty'it is to enforce the law, was determined to see that the law was carried out. Mr. Rigney also suggested that in case Woodruff proved himself to be @& good man, while in prison, the parole board would take his case in consideration, and he would be al- lowed his freedom. : Before pronouncing sentence, Mr, Herrington asked the magistrate for the privilege of saying a few more words on behalf of his client. He referred to the case of the man Who assaultéd the watchman at Anglin's Mill, and for a time it was feared that he would die, as a re sult of the assault, and he had been dealt leniently with by the court. Mr. Herrington said that in view of the fact that Woodruff had not caused any bodily harm, he should be dealt with leniently,. as the in- struments which he used in demand- ing the money from Nolan were tity of Kingston and the county; of | ---------- a TY Vy YY Spring Fabrics Dictated by Fashion & Good Taste 1 "Burnside" Crepe A very desirable Silk and Cotton material for Dresses or Underthings.
