FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT THE Y. M. C. A.

the local Y. M. C. A. seem to have
brought Sllccess. Certainly th e te n o r
eleven weeks whicll h av e e la ps ed
since the new machi ne ry h as b een
in operafion have b ee n the most
promising i n th e h is to ry of the institution. It is rather t oo ear ly , of
course, to guarantee the permanency
of this satisfactory state of alTairs.but it has been shown conclusivelythat the Y. M. C. A. can be made the
means of accomplishing what it was
inte ude d for /lnd more , too, If a f ewmen can always ibe f ound t o g ive al it tl e t ime and thought to the ·'Work.It. should not be difficult to flnd such
men at any time.
To Those Not in Sympathy in the
PastNow, just a few words to those
whose sympath:es have not in thepast been with the organization. Thetown may h av e b ee n t oo small forso ambitious an undertaking as theerection and proper s uppo rt o f the
building at Forrest and Haverford. It
may be true that it was a "White
Elephant"f-but these object ions donot apply to·day. The f ac t Is, Narberth Is now big en ou gh t o requi re
and us e a bu il di ng even larger than
the one shoe may consider herself
f or tu na te in pos se ss in g. Your co-
operation i s therefo re cordial ly invited.The Building as a Communi ty AssetThe c!t lzens of "The Year·'Round
Home Town" have an asset in thathullding and its equ ipment which
many a town of twice its size and
wealth might envy. Viewed from th eang le of i ts effe ct on real es ta t e values, it is doubly an dosbet. Lool,s goodto the stranger and mal tes a lasting
impression on him. He realizes thathe is i n a live town; bu t wha t i f theY. M. C. A. had closed its doors as
was threatened a few months ago?
Dead one, huh?
Bui ld ing Serves Many Interests
The Idea is to make the building asort of a town rendezvous, communi ty center, hang-out, meeting place,or anything you want to name it, solong as it may be con si de red a general headquart ers where our citizensmay meet often or occasionally and
get acquainted. Hardly a day goes bynow that t he re i sn 't s ome kind of asocial or business gat he ri ng t he re .
The Narberth Civic Association base
ball clull, Park Development Commit tee, 'Woman's Communi ty Club,Main Line League, Narberth Band,Glee ClUb, Community Bible Class andvarious church clnbs are just a fewof the organizations that use the
building, as the directors freely olTer
all the u se of it. The pool tables andboWling alleys are patronized to fullcapacity. There are women's and
girls' gymnasium classes at scheduledhours and a g ir ls ' 'basl te t bal l toeam.Business men ha ve a l imbe rin g up
session every Thursday evening; indulging in vol ley bal l, i ndoor base
ball and any old thing to keep thekinks out of their n o l onge r 'boyishmuscles.
As a Place For RelaxationSome mighty good entertainments
In the way of thr!lling basket ball
games, musicales, etc., have taken
place once or twice weel dy a llthrough the winter. We wonder how
many of us that went all the way toth e c it y t o se e a show wouldn't have
been better satlsfled and got ten more
real p leas ur e out of one of thesegames than they got by going to
town. Perhaps you d idn 't know about
it, but that's because you don't read
t he s igns that are tacked on the bullet in boards o r t he articles that are
printed In "Our Town."
A Good Pub li c Library
An excellent library which has
been growing f ast i s at the disposalof everyone i n Narber th . Come in
and look it over. You may be agreeably surpr ised . You can borrow abook for the asking at no expense.

AMENITIES.
We do not know whether thi s b t t isold or new, or whence came the clipping. But whatever th e conditionsmay be, it seems to us well worthwhile reprinting. It concerns two compan ion poems in respect to the aristocracy of Harvard and the democracyof Y a l ~ . Dr. Samuel ,C. Bushnell readthis poem at the dinner of the Harvard Alumni of Waterbury:
r come from good old Bos ton,T,he home of the bean and th e cod,
Where Cabots speak only to 1.owells,And the Lowells speak only to God.
Dean Jones, of Yale, countered withthese verses:
Here 's to th e town of New Haven,
The home of the t ruth and the light,Where God speaks to Jones
In the very same tonesThat ,he uses with Hadley and
Dwight.

I bel ieve in Narberth.
I h el ie ve in its past-in the men

c hu rc he s. who se l ove r ai se d up chU·llren to serve God and their country.
I believe in Its present-In t he men
a nd women and children a bo ut me
whose working together In courage
and perseverance has ,wrought results
of which I am proud: a public schoolwell eqnipped and efficient, a library
where the treasures of past and pres
e nt awa it t o enrich me. a Communi tyBuilding where f riendsh ip and music
and thought inspire me. I believe Int he spi r it of good will and neighborliness that brought these things to pass.
I helieve in its fu tu re- -in the men
an(l women who wil l come after me. Ibelieve that wha t h as bee n done is
only the beginning of a greater work
that wl1l be done, that t he n ex t generation will be better and nobler than
this, t ha t out of ou r hopes and labors
now will grow a community democ rat ic. p rosperous and strong, an
honor to America and to God.

It has the added va lue of coming f rom
one who loves beaut ifu l things-treesand flowers and gardens especially
an d i s born out of extensive practical
experience. Because of this, Wll
