Just returned to as an association secretary at an camp, presented his report to the di- rectors of the their meeting last evening and in it he out- lined In brief, but comprehensively, the wonderful work that New Britain has dane In the recent war and laid especial emphasis not only on the part by the local association and its members but also on Y. M. C. A. work in The report fol- lows: “New Britain’s record in the war 1s one to be proud of—and those of us who have been away have watched with pride the lists of men represent- ing the city la the army and navy, and have taken great satisfaction in | the successful way each Liberty loan and war drive went ‘over the top.’ I am particularly glad that our Y. M. C. A. was able, not only to serve the men and bays left at home, but was also enabled to project itself into the war by having its own sec- retaries serving with the men in camp. A bronze plate in one of the Y. M. C. A. buildings erected in a cantonment is inseribed as a gift from the people of New Britain to the marine corps, and contains th> names of five of our secretaries who started Y. M. C. A. work at Quantico, Va. Now after ten months at an- other camp, I return with first-hand knowledge and experiences of how the Y. M. C. A. can serve men in a bigger and better way than it ever did before the war. I am grateful to this board for the privilege of this experience, which will be of great value in developing the wark here as the men in service return. Plans For the Future, *“That is what we ‘must plan for— the return of the men, and we must bear in mind that the Y. M. C. A. or the ‘Y’ as they call it, has been with them since they first entered camp, or even before where men went in large groups in the selective draft. The ‘Y’ has been their home—their club and their church. No service they asked for was too small nor too great to be rendered them by a ‘Y’ man, and it didn’t cost them a cent. As they return thelr hame and their church are automatically restored, but they will look to the ‘¥’ more than ever as their club. “Many of these men were members of the Y. M. they went to camp and there their | first experience with the Y called for ! no membership fee. If, upon their first visit to the home Y a member- ship fee is required before they use the privilege, a bad impression will be | made upon them, and they will com- pare the army Y and the city Y. M. C. A. to the disadvantage of the lat- ter. “Some overseas men will undoubt- | edly return more or less disabled by gas or wounds, and the Red Cross will function for them. As there has co-operation and overlapping of Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross service, both in camps and overseas, it will be our duty to offer the association privileges to the Red Gross for use in these cases. “The problem of getting the re- turning men adjusted into employ- ment as quickly as possible is one of great importance and we should give all possible assistance along that line. ‘What the “Y’ Has Done. “Overseas and in the home camps, the Y has been the soldiers’ church. 1 The army chaplains held their regi- mental services there and in the K. of C. buildings. The Y men conduct- ed services there and ministers from neighboring towns were furnished with audiences in these buildings. Bible study classes to the number of two or three hundred a week were conducted, and the greatest emphasis was laid upon personal interviews by secretaries with soldiers. Over seven thousand men entered into Christian living through meetings and inter- views at Camp Jackson during the past twelve months. Many of these were united to the church and others will join upon their return home This spirit of co-operation of the Y. M. C. A. with the church will be con- tinued in the city association. Sev- eral years ago I inaugurated the same plan of personal interviews and this should now be done on a larger scale, and every effort made toward directing young men into church membership. The war has demon- strated the vital interest young men have for real religion and a program, of religious work will carried gut. “The fattendance at social was tremendous. Four distinct kinds of entertainments were used—the most popular being the movies. There were alSo ‘shows’ given by the men themselves and hy groups of ladies from a nearby city. Occasionally en- tertainments were given by lyceum talent. But the movies and non-pro- A. secretary, serving | army duty after association at taken general. never C.

A. leaders that in the readjustment, returning soldiers will not be met by the city associations in as friendly a way nor served as well as they were by the Army Y. I have no fear but what we shall successfully do our part, but we must be ready, if be, to place the emphasis of our ef- forts in different places than we have before. guide [ er will larger | need | “The association is in good shape, except that the membership shows a little loss over the same period for last year. The count December was 1,064 as compared with 1,180 last year, but this loss is not unusual under the conditions and will be made up in the next few monthg."” rom [SNOT RESTRICTED Butter May Also Be Sold in Smaller Quantities Christmas candy will not be re- stricted this year by the food admin- istration, according to an announce- meant by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville. Many candy stor in accordance with a voluntar; sugar conservation plan upon the initiative of the trade itself, have been refusing to sell more than one pound at a time to a customer. This restriction not. 1 rded by the food administration as vation measure thi day season, since the sugar shortage has been materially relieved. Last year the nation faced a seri- ous sugar shortage at Christmas time, and the manufacturers were nllr)\\nd to use only 50 per cent. of their mal requirements of suga; brought about a candy shortage and the food administration was at that time asking people as a patriotic con- servation measure to hold candy con- sumption to the minimum and to use those varieties which contalned little or no sugar. The food administration has never taken any action which would limit manufacturers’ sales to individual customers. Several of tho confec- tioners’ associations, however, have passed resolutions requesting members to scll not more than one pound to a customer, unless it is for shipment to soldiers overseas. While the food administration has neve participated in any of these measures during the sugar stringency, it re- garded them as valuable aids to con- servation. Tho need for sugar saving in this direction, however, has passed ! and the food administration this year will not ask that the Christmas pur- chases be limited. Announcement was made today by the food administration that special rule 5, which forbade the manufac- ture and sale of rints of butter weighing less than one pound on and after January 1, 1919, has been re- pealed.
