Lowell Meets Conference Champs in Test of Strength Here Friday Evening

Lowell Red Arrows will get the real test of their strength and football ability on Friday night when last year 's Tri-River champs, Rockford, will arrive at 7:30 p. m.

I^owell dropped its opening game last Friday to Ionia, 18-7, on a series of mistakes, and Coach Pierce revealed he is looking for a couple of boys for defensive tackle who arc faster. He said that in his opinion the boys played up to their ability but just gave up the ball to loiua on three occa-sions on just plain mistakes.

Friday night the local eleven will get Its test before a confident Rockford team that easily beat Forest Hill* last week 32-2. Rock-ford has without doubt the top team of the league and Lowell boys will have to put out an ef-fort to come out on top. Pierce told his boys that this team puts on Its pants the same way we do, so they are not unbeatable, a fact which has been proven many times in the past.

Ionia kicked off to Lowell to open the game, and each team failed to make much of any gain until near the end of the first

Type I polio virus has been Iso-lated by the State Health Depart-ment Laboratories f rom specimens submitted from two of the patients. Material f rom the other patient Is still being studied.

Dr. Prothro said that the action program was planned following consultation and study by edpldem-lologlsts f rom the Health Depart-ment, the Kent County Medical Society and the Michigan Depart-ment of Health. The consensus of opinion was that a medical emer-gency exists requiring immediate drastic community action. Federal-ly itock-piled oral polio vaccine will be flown to Grand Rapids for use with children 18 years of age and younger and commercial vac-cine will be purchased for adults.

The United State Public Health Service's criteria for community for federal vaccine Is the Identifi-cation of a t least two cases of the same type of polio within a month's period. The Grand Rapids situa-tion exceeds these requirements. Dr. Pierce Gardner, a United States Public Health Service physi-cian, f rom the Communicable Dis-ease Center Is already In Grand Rapids observing the situation.

Dr. Prothro commented that It Is fortunate that we now have a new tool to fight polio. While tre-mendous progress has been made through the use of Salk Polio Vac-cine, Dr. Prothro continued, we have been unable to yield a death-blow to the disease. The new Sabln Oral Live Virus Vaccine provides a greater community protection as contrasted to the Individual protec-tion of the Salk vaccine.

The recommendation of the local medical advisory team is that everyone receive the oral vaccine regardless of the number of Salk immunizations they have had pre-viously. Dr. Prothro explained that the reason for this Is that the Salk Vaccine provides a protection a t the blood s t ream level but does not protect the digestive tract f rom becoming Infected. Persons protected by the Salk Vaccine could actually become "active car-riers."

The new oral live vaccine in-duces polio protection in the di-gestive t ract resembling that fol-lowing natural immunity. Other advantages of the oral vaccine Is that it is easily administered (no shots a re necessary; three drops of the Sabln liquid a re on a cube of sugar) , with virtually no re-action and almost immediate Im-munity.

Governor Romney Reports

Outlines Proposal for New Taxes The fiscal reform program which

I outlined to the Legislature last week has received widespread publicity, but I want to make a few observations here about the effect it will have on the people who pay taxes.

The proposals outlined to the lawmakers comprise 4 basic pro-gram of tax reform. They deal adequately and fairly with the major problems which have come to our attention. They are just and will help create jobs.

What does the program actually mean to each person in the state? It means, in the case of the businessman, that the business ac-tivities t a x - a n unfair and in-equitable tax—will be totally re-pealed. and that the orporation franchise tax would not affect businesses during their first two years of existence. The business-men would pay state taxes only if he made a profit.

The family of five would have a 20 percent relief in their prop-erty tax burden. And they' will save the taxes they now pay on food,

And senior citizens, those over sixty-five who need relief, will be given the special relief they need and deserve. Their position can be eased by deferring their property taxes up to 5200 annually, and they will also save on sales tax.

A low income retired couple who now pay 9.8 per cent of their In-come in state and local taxes will pay only 1.3 per cent.

The sales tax will no longer ap-ply to prescription drugs. More important, it will no longer apply to most food purchases. This will grant significant relief to millions of our tax-burdened citizens.

The homeowner will receive re-lief from the property tax, which has now gone so high in many areas that the people no longer will approve the taxes needed to support our schools.

The schools will benefit, be-cause the state will assume a larger role in their support.

I urge all of you to give care-ful and serious consideration to the proposals I rpade to t^e Legis-lature, And while you do, I urge you to keep certain facts in mind.

First, government is not some-thing apart from you. it actually Is you. It has no strength, no pur-pose. no support apart from you-

Second, when government im-poses and collects taxes, it acts as your agent, therefore your opinion controls what is done. You must decide whether taxes should be levied through a sound, firm program based .on justice, as suggest.

vou nom

Third, when goyenunqnt adopts a program and spends money to fulfill that program it is your money, spent to tialp meet youn needs.

St6p and think for just a mo-ment. Ask yourself what you want Out of life! I think most of you Will figree that among the things

want are a decent Job, a good me, good health, scune protec-

tion against emergencies, the jp-poimnity to give your children an education and a good start in life.

And then ask yourself whether you can provide all these things yourself, or whether they depend on the community and state In which you live, the employment opportunities, the health services, the schools which the community and tlie state support. I think the answer Is apparent.

No game demands more team-j work strength, courage and alert-ness or provides a more thrilling spectacle than football—king of autumn sports in the United States.

It's a safe bet that few games have as lively a history.

Football la an ancient sport. A game called harpaston wag play-ed by the Spartans as early as 500 B.C. In this game a ball was Kicked, passed, or carried across the opponents' goal line, according lo researchers.

Strikingly similar to a modem football wag the follls, used In Roman games. It was made of leather and Infalted with air, but evidently was propelled by foot, not by hand and arm.

A game called calcio, a modi-fled form of liarpaston, enlivened medieval tournaments In Italy The players, 27 on a team, used line and backfleld formations slmlllar to those of football today. Princes, soldiers, and "the noble ladles and the people" cheered for their favorites.

A brawl-Uke kind of football was ed in England as early as the

century end by the 12th it had become a national problem. The game wag making London a

Firat Football Ciame The first American intercollegi-

Yost, football coach at tlie Uni-versity of Michigan produced a famous Uuiin built utouihI a fresh-man, Willie Heston, which scored nearly a point for each minute of play. It amassed 550 points in 11 gumes and kept Us opponents score-less.

In 1906 the rule makers revolu-tionized the game by barring all mass plays and inlroducing the forward pass which led to a more open style of play.

More spectacular than either Stagg of Yost was Glenn S. "Pop"

N. J., and Rutgers won 6 goals School In 1899 and subsequently to 4. The game was played with 25 men on a tide. A few days later Princeton won at its home field, 8 goals to 0, but rivalry between the 'wo colleges became so bitter that school authoritiee forbade a third and deciding game. /

In 1875 Harvard and the McGiU University Football Club of Canada Introduced the Rugby principle of running with the ball. The two teami played part of one contest under Harvard (soccer) rules and tlie remainder of the game under the Rugby rules of MoGill. Rugby Impressed Harvard players so favorably that they decided to abandon what was called the "somewhat sleepy type of game" then played.

B y . 1876 the right to run with the ball was generally recognized.

in his arma and ran with ft" across the goal line. The score was not allowed. The event made history, however, and began Rugby foot-ball from which the American game is directly descended. A tablet at Rugby commemorates Ellis' ex-ploit. - t 'Jt

By 1863 the now game of Rugby had become very popular, Tliose who clyng to the old idea that football should be played by kick-ing the ball met in London and formed the Football Association. Thereafter this game was known ag "Association football" or "soc-cer" a jumbled abbreviation of the word association.

Soccer still holds to the pre-Rugby style of game and uses a round ball. The ball, after being put In play, may not be carried or touched by the . ands or arms, except by the goalkeeper. It Is advanced chiefly by kicking and dribbling with the feet. A goal is scored when the ball i s kicked undernealh the crossbar of the goal posts.

Rugby, the parent of Intercol-legiate football, is little played in the U.S. In the Biitish Isles, how-ever it is so Important that dis-putes ever rules are taken before an international board composed of representatives from the Rugby Unions of England, Scotland. Wales apd Ireland. Rugby resembles the American game in that the ball is oval and may be advanced by carrying, passing and kicking. It differs notably in having 15 meu to a team and In placing a higher premium on field goals.

Football probably was brought to America by the English colon-ists who established Jamestown in 1607, Compton researchers point Out. An inflated pig bladder usual ly served as the ball for these early games. Women played, too, because throwing and passing were more important than kicking.

Early in the 19th century, foot-ball games were played at Harvard and Yale to determine class su-premacy between freshmen and sophomores. The "games" were hardly more than mass rushes and "slug fests." In I860 authorities at Harvard and Yale ended these brawls and Harvard students held

mock funeral for "Football Fightum."

An important step towards ma-king football a recognized sport was the organization of the Oneida

up and enforcing eligibility rules and amateur standards.

When we were kids, nobody had to tell us when the first Yellow Transparents or Red Astrachans were ripe. We'd been testing for weeks. Our apple orchard was smoll, and there were no two trees alike. All the neighborhood kids climbed them like monkeys beginning with the first to produce ripe fruit and going right down the list as new varieties ripened.

We considered any kind edible If we could dent It with our teeth.

Mother, of course, was more dis-criminating. She p r e f e r r e d Dutchess for appleseauce and pies and baked apples. As the season progressed, she had other favor-ites such as Wealthles and North-em Spies.

I'm always Interested In watch-ing people shop for food. I wonder how many women today select ap-ples by variety or really know which varieties are best for pies, sauce, salads or eating out cf hand. I strongly suspect they just pick out a nice red apple and use It for all purposes. Fortunately, there are many all-purpose vari-eties; but to people who know fruit, there are special varieties for every purpose.

From the first Transparents In July to the end of the sesjon our Michigan orchards produce a stea-dy supply and a wide variety of apples. Roughly, they appear in the following order:

July and August—Yellow Trans-parent (good for sauce, pies and eating out of hand).

Late August through September —Wealthy (good for pies, sauce and eating fresh).

Late September to June Jona-than (eating fresh, pies, baking, salads, sauce).

October to June—Red Delicious (eating fresh, salads, sauce).

October to June—Golden or Yel-low Delicious (same as Red Deli-cious).

October to June—Northern Spy —(pies, sauce, baking and eating out of hand).

October through March—Steel's Red (baking, pies, sauce, fair for eating and salads).

November through April—Rome Beauty—(excellent for baking and in pies).

I miss some of the old varieties. I expect they have been replaced by varieties that ship or keep bet-ter. 'Twill be a sad day, however, when we can no longer get a good Northern Spy. I remember they were always our favorites. They bruised easily so each fall we care-fully wrapped the choicest with paper and tenderly placed them In barrels.

Modem storage methods make many more varieties available over a longer period of time, but most fruits are at their best and their cheapest when they are in season. I've been getUng beautiful Wealthles lately. Jonathans and Mcintosh will be coming up next. When It's Apple Time. I'm glad

TRACKS BY 'SAM'

The 40-lap season championship for super modlfleds was halted on the 30th lap by one of the most spectacular accidents ever seen at the Berlin Raceway, Saturday night.

The action started when the cars of Boh Clover of Muskegon and Eddie VanderLaan of Cascade became entangled. VanderLaan's car flipped up unto the concrete retaining wall and "atapulated over a wooden fence and part of the bleachers, and down a 20-foot em-bankment, near the track's first turn.

Although VanderLaan's car was demolished, he escaped the tang-led wreckage without any injur-ies.

Duane Knoll of Muskegon turned in a sparkling driving performance lo come home the victor in the 20-mile main event, Norm Brown finished second in the title event followed by Dick Carter of Sagi-naw. Mort Anderson of Greenvi and Wally Sanders of Grand Rap-Ida.

In the 25-lap feature event for the modified sportsmen, Scott Pres-ley of Grand Haven withstood the repeated challenges of Harvey Red-der of Holland to roar home the victor. Jack TtaBrink, this year's season champion, finished third.

This Saturday night, the modified sportsmen will be running on the U-mlle clay oval with a demoli-tion derby hlghUlghtlng the eve-ning.

The fast action of the strictly stocks brought the crowd to their feet Saturday night during the main event at the Grand Rapids Speedrome when Don Wenger of Grand Rapids became tangled up In traffic and his car rolled over on the back stretch, and was hit by the massive string of cars fol-lowing him.

When the dust settled and the track officials had r e m o v e d Wenger from his car, Wenger'g pit crew came full force out onto the track to pick up the motor, and several other spare parts which had covered the area following the impact.

Marv Blaine won the 25-lap ac-cident-marred event. Other check-ered flag winners for the evening were Jim Scholtens, fast car dash; Little Dale, first heat: Bob Senne-ker, pursuit; and Jerry Peliquin, scramble.

Caledonia's school board has granted the use of seven acres of the former Fred Flnkbelner farm to their Future Farmer chapter for experimental use. Cooperator War-ren Flnkbelner rents the other crop land. The Future Farmer classes under Adviser William Har-rison, plan to observe and receive instruction in land leveling, tile drainage and in woodland conserv-ation practices as Included In their plan. A considerable amount of beech, some hard maple, basswood and oak are ready for selective harvest along with Ironwood and cull tree removal over a period of years.

ve Michigan Orchard Problems" Is the title of a story by Area Conservationist, W, D, Miller, in "Soli Cbnservatlon" for September. The magazine Is the official organ of Jibe S.C.S. and is published by the U.S.D.A.

Fred Schweitzer and Harold Thome are shown in the Schweit-zer orchard where fescue sod cover is used. The Anderson Brothers sod covered orchard is shown. Lloyd Hill and Sons conservation orchard management since 1946 is descri-bed. "if we had not had soli con-servation, we might not oven be farming now", Lloyd, remarks.

* * 4 Tricks of the trade. "For tho

first time In many years our new alfalfa seeding In oats was not good, due to the drought, so we hand seeded again In the oat stub-ble", reports Harold Williams, Oak-fleld twp. This new seeding in the field strips has made good growth. Weeds were not a problem as spraying controlled them in early

spring.

• * * "Our farm seems to be a good

place for our sons to live", says Mrs. Jack Mllarch, Caledonia twp. Jack, jr., an active Caledonia twp. ture Farmer sophomore, has help-ed a great deal with the farm work. His parents give him plenty of credit for their conservation farm plan progress In one year. Jack, jr., ll-years-old, now ig in-terested In becoming a veterin-ary.-His dad Is a personnel direc-tor in a Grand Rapids industrial corporation. Their farm was pur-chased three years ago.

"We like our contour strips bet-ter each year and our crop yields have improved", say Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Phelps, of Nelson twp, 40 acres of the strips and a 1500 foot terrace were installed in 1959 by the Phelps. R. H. Drulllnger assist-ed them with their conservation plan. 20 acres more in 1962 com-pleted the contour system. As you drive north of 18 Mile Road on Ritchie, the practical and efficient strip cropping system and the ap-pearance of the crops tell the story.

Group Leadership An Art and Science

Group meetings need not be a bore or chore. They can be crea-tive and satisfying—under skilled leadership.

"Discussion leadership Is becom-Ing a science. It requires not only the knowledge of sound principles, but the skill, the insight, and the desire to put these principles to work," says University of Michi-gan psychologist Norman R. F. Maler, noted for his studies on group problem solving.

A group meeting, when fully understood, is a process that sets Into operation a wide ariety of facets of human nature. And "since the reins are In the hands of the discussion leader, it Is to him that we must look to make the group effort both creative and satisfying."

This requires, among other things skillful use of certain prin-ciples of group behavior, derived from research In various fields of psychology, Professor Maler de-| clares. What are they and how can they serve to Improve problem-solving discussion and conference?

—Direct your effort toward over-coming "surmountable" obstacles. All too often "a particular ob-stacle is selected and pursued de-

spite the fact that It cannot be remedied." Solutions, to be suc-cessful, must work.

—Available facts should be used even when they are Inadequate. People tend to overgenerallze solu-tions. If enough Information Is available, however, problem solv-ers tend to work with the evidence.

—The starting point of a prob-lem Is richest In possible soluilons. Partial success In moving toward a goal makes people reluctant to start all over again, but a new start is the only way to increase the variety of solution possibilities.

—Encourage the group to bo more problem-minded. The first prerequisite for reaching agree-ment on a solution Is reaching agreement on the problem.

-Disagreement can lead either to hard feelings or to Innovations, depending on the discussion lead-ership. The leader "must not only prevent the suppression of dis-agreement, but also encourage a respect for disagreement and there, by turn It Intc a stimulant for rvw Ideas."

—The Idea-getting process should be separated f r o m the Idea-evaluating process. The latter is the practical side of problem solv-Ing and Involves the testing and the comparison of solutions In the light of what Is known. Idea get-ting requires a willingness to break away from past cxi>erience and search for something different or new.

—Choice situations should lie tumed into problem situations. When the conferees face two or more alternatives they are In "a choice situation."

—Problem situations should bo turned into choice situations. "The objective in problem situations is to remove or get around an ob-stacle. As a consequence, the dis-covery of the first successful pos-sibility tends to terminate the search. The fact that one solution is found does not preclude the possibility that there may be others, yet people frequently bo-have as though this were the case."

—"Solutions suggested by the loader are improperly evaluated and tend either to be accepted or rejected." Thus the leader must "refrain from introducing his views or passing judgement on the Ideas expressed by participants.

4-H Clubs Combine Fun and Leadership

RecreaUon is not just a leisure time activity for 4-H Club mem-bers, say recreation specialists. It has a practical sido that develops leadership ami useful hobbies.

Leading a group game or song can be the first step In com munlty service. Benefit shows, safety campaigns and establish-ment of community recreational facilities are examples of projects undertaken by local clubs.

Through such sharing of Ideas and tbe pracUce of leading. 4-H members are gaining confidence and social approval, local club leaders report.

Appreciation for cultural pas»i acquiring skills in arts and crafts are prominent in the 4-H recrea-tional awards program.

The young people are also find-ing that if something Is worth doing It Is worth doing well. As an incentive for good work, the state's top 4-H member in recrea-tional leadership will be awarded a trip to the 1963 National 4-H Club Congress In Chicago, and will be

LAURA E. SHEPARD, Clerk

eligible for one of six national $500 college scholershlps.

All winners are named by the Cooperative Extension Service, and

1 recogniuon awards are provided by John Deere of Mollne, Illinois.

In view of what 4-H members re-port, youthful projects might well become life-long hobbies or even careers.

A high school graduate, who re-ceived a 1962 scholarship to start him in college, developed his tal-ent for drawing. Besides helping to promote 4-H in his home town, his art work has benefited school and church. He completed over 1,000 sketches and paintings.

Two other scholarship winners already in college plan to expand hobbies pursued m 4-H. One is a singer of local acclaim and the other a capable leader of games and group activities.

Latest recreation program enroll-ment figures total nearly 370,000 boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21 years. This Is an In^ crease of 24,000 over the previous year, according to the Extension Service.

OUTGUESSING A GROUP OF

YOUNGSTERS on their way to or

every driver. That's why Michigan

Bell's safe driver training program

gets extra emphasis right now. Actually, traffic safety

education is a year-round program with us, required

of every employee whose job includes driving a com-

pany car or truck. It 's one of the most important ways

in which we try to be good citizens and good neighbors.

IN A STEW about lots of

errands to do—when you

have to stay home and cook a meal, too? If so, you need

a handy kitchen extension

phone! Wi th a kitchen

phone you can order gro-

ceries, call a TV repairman,

check up on the youngsters

at a neighbor's house, ask

if that dress in the ad comes

in blue . . . and still keep your eye on whafs cooking. Besides, an extension phone adds just the right spot of color to your kitchen

wall. Costs just pennies a day, after a small, one-time

installation charge. Call us now and order yours.

"FAST AND ACCURATE" - t h a t ' s the motto of Michi-

gan Bell's Long Distance

Operators when they take

down information concern-

ing calls you place through

them. They use an "elec-

writes at the merest touch,

glides swiftly to the next

GOSPEL PREACHING You who henrd Billy Graham on T\ r last week were treated to real gospel preach-

Ing. Wasn't it refreshing to hear this man who implicitly believes the Bible proclaim,

"The Bible says!" "God says ! " "Cod's word says !" Wasn't it thrilling to hear the

message of salvation from sin by repenta'.ce and iaitii In Christ through the sacri-

fice of Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross. There 's no doubt as to where Billy Graham

stands!

These same gospel truths, implicitly believed and faithfully preached, can be heard

right here in Lowell every Sunday moming and every Sunday evening at Calvary

Chapel.

Come, hear, and receive God's blessings!

Showboat Singer's First Platter Try Is Now Being Aired

"Make A Wish," sung on the Coral Label by Rosemary Cal-lanan, 1963 Showboat Amateur Night winner, put in its first ap-pearance on Radio WGRD'g "Fabu-lous 50 Tunedex" this week.

The song, written by Jodi Ban-cino of Grand Rapids, was record-ed by Rosemary in tl»e Bradley Studios in Nashville last July. Musicians who the day before had accompanied singer Connie Fran-cis at a recording session were on hand to back up "Rory-O" as she made her professional debut.

Rory O is the name adopted hy the 13-year-old eighth grader from Marne for her career.

WGRD deejays have picked the recording as one oi the "promising plat ters" of the week and have begun to a i r it regularly. I t cur-rently Is in 41st place on the station's listing.

Rosemary, whose contract with Coral, a subsidiary of Decca Re-cords, calls for three single re-cords, appeared on the Showboat stage a t the Thursday night per-formance.

U. S. Constitution Celebrates Diamond Anniversary; Still Ranks The Best

"If men were angels, no govern-ment would be necessary," J a m e s Madison once pointed out. But Madison and the political leaders of his generation w e r e prac-tical men, and so it happened that on September 17, 1787, he and 38 other s tate representatives put their signatures to the Constitution ot the United States of America.

The ceremony climaxed some four months of work, mostly un-autliorlzcd, for the delegates to the Philadelphia convention had been empowered only to revise the Arti-cles of Confederation. In fact, Patr ick Henry, who opposed a stronger national government, had refused to attend the convention because, as he later put it, " I smelt a r a t . "

Under these circumstances, and to ensure tha* each delegate would have the fullest freedom of speech during the debates, the convention ruled that its proceedings would be kept absolutely secret. Sentries were posted at the doors to the meeting hall. The anxious dele-gates even appointed one of their number to accompany the 81-year-old Benjuinui Finiikllii lu his soci-able dinners, to make sure he did

Past Post Commanders To Be Honored Saturday

Lowell Flat River Post No. 8303, V.F.W. will hold a party at the Post rooms honoring all Past Post Commanders Saturday, September 21. a t 8 p. m.

All Post and Auxiliary members and friends are Invited. Come and have a good time.

Refreshments will be served by the Committee,

not let slip any mention of the debates during a friendly conversa-tion.

It wasn' t until 1819. when the first journal of the convention was printed, that the American public learned of the proceedings.

Nevertheless, gossip was ram-pant and, at one point during the summer , reports circulated of wide disagreement among the delegates. Apparently the convention mem-bers dccldcd on countcrpropnganda, for one newspaper reported, "So great is the unanimity, we hear, that prevails In the Convention . . . that It has been proposed to call the room In which they assemble —Unanimity Hall."

The Constitution was hotly dehat-ed when It was submitted to the states for ratification, and even tltose who had signed It had their doubts. Ben Franklin probably summed up the feelings of the 39 signers . . .and of all those who have since admired the Constitu-tion . . . when he said, " I consent. sir, to this Constitution, because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that It is not the bes t .

A grand total of over 400 indi-vidual ballplayers in seven differ-ent leagues.

Two World Service work camps were held during the summer

Nearly 2 Million Doflars Raised For Worid Service

The YMCAs of North America produced $1,738,870 In contribution income for YMCA World Service in 1962. This enabled World Serv-ice—a joint program of Ihe YMCAs of Canada and the United Slates —lo Rive strategic assistance to the YMCAs of 35 countries in Eu-rope, Asia. Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

The 1962 total is the second lar-gest amount raised for World Ser-vice in Ihe past 40 years. It falls short by only $784 of ISei's record-breaking $1,739,654. Over 800 sep-arate campaigns were held through-out the continent involving thous-ands of volunteer workers a n d many thousands more of contribu-tors.

In addition to the money rais-ed for basic World Service pro-grams, North America's YMCAs also raised $363,584 for "Buildings for Brotherhood" last year . "Build-ings for Brotherhood was a spe-cial capital assistance program to help build or Improve Y facilities in key areas of the world.

"IMB" Goal Ik Topped

The 1962 total, including inter-est. brings to $5,369,658 the amount raised for "Buildings for Brother-hood" in North America. This is well above the original goal set for Canada and the United States when the global building program was launched in 1958. Although 1962 marked the official close of "Buildings for Brotherhood" fund-raising in North America, money pledged but not yet paid by local Ys and individuals is expected to swell the total possibly to a final figure of $6,000,000.

Overseas, "Building for Brother-hood" campaigns and construction

continued *0 gain momentum dur-Ing 1962. In Hong Kong, the Royal Jockey Club recently donated $1.-000.000 (HK) toward the Y's pro-posed sports and youth training center. This is the fifth largest single gift Ihe program ha*: re-ceived anywhere in the world.

The largest Individual gift was also an overseas donation. This was a $1,500,000 conlribuiion of land for the new headquarters of Ihe YMCA in Caracas. Venezuela —now under construction.

New Y for Seoul Under Way In Seoul, too, where the Y was

reduced lo rubble during Ihe Ko-rean war—conslruclion began late last year on a new central head-quarters. Altogether "Buildings for Brotherhood" campaigns are un-der way overseas for 100 projects. To da te over $6,000,000 has been raised abroad. Construction has be-gun on 96 projects. Thirty-eight of these are completed and In use, and in 58 cases, work is still in sections of many of these build-ings a re also already in use.

Of the money raised for "Build ings for Brotherhood" in North America, $4,500,000 has been allo-cated for 100 projects and partial or complete payments have been made to 93.

Money For Manpower The bulk of money raised for

Basic World Service in 1962 w?iit to support North American Y workers overseas. Last year there were 42 fraternal secretaries at work in 32 countries.

Additional manpower In 1962 took the form of nine Junior World Service workers—an Increase of five over 1961. Junior workers a r e recent college graduates who serve overseas on one-year " P e a c e Corps" type assignments. L a s t year Junior World Service work-
