NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1918 GREEKS ANXIOUS TO GET Y. M. WORKERS Premier Ag;ees to Furnish All Necessary Buildings in Athens aris, Decomber 27.—Premier Ven- Yelos of Greece, the dominating fig- ure who stood like a rock Prussianism in the Hellenic kingdom, has volunteered with certain other in- fluentlal Greeks to flnance the erec- tion of a Y. M. C. A. building in Ath- ens if the American Red Triangle will fupnish secretaries, so deeply was he impressed by the organization's work in the war. This has just been an- nounced by P. D. Mangum, a Y. M. C. A. secretary who worked with the Greek forces at Saleniki before and after the Bulgar collapse. Mr. Veni- zelos, Mr. Alecedes, governor general of Macedor and other prominent Grellks offer to furnish the money for a Y. M. C. A. along the lines recom- mended by Richard Boardman of Jersey City, to put association work on the same footing with that in Am- erica, France and Emgland to meet the requirements of yeturning Greek goldiers. Hundreds of Greeks wha returned ta¥defend their native land and who had enjoyed Y. M. C. A. facilities in America, started the demand for the Red Triangle work. The Greeks of- fering to finance the project ask that workers experienced ia all branches of “Y" activity be sent from New York, While they would like to have My, oBardman, who inspired the pro- jJett for a large city Y. M. C. A, he was forced to return home after an aceident and unable to carry through his plans. They will be followed out though, Mr. Mangum says. Mr. Boardman, Mr. Mangum and Harvey A. Henderson of Goodland, Ind., op- erated a Y. M. C. A. hut with the Greek and Allled forces at Salonikl, where it was estimated 10,000 men were served daily. A coffee room where Turkish coffee was served for the small sum of five lebtas (about one-tenth of a penny) proved te be the main drawing card of the hut at first. Interest was soon aroused, however, in a canteen where socks, safety pins, handkerchiefs, chocolate and cigarettes and tobacco were sold, The “Y" men succeeded in“having matinees three afternoons a week, a company of 15 Greek playe giving thelr services free for the per- formance. The hut work at Saloniki attracted so much attention that demands came in from all sections for Red Triangle hyts and workers. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Mangum then succeeded in gotting three others erected—one at Tumba, a lange training camp, where 30,000 Greeks are stationed, proving eapecially popular. A large hut erected at Athens and another at a camp not far from there. Hundreds ofwbooks were purchased for the hut | libraries and Mr. Mangum reports that the need of more reading matter and | especlally of books that will aid in tho | educational program of the Y. M. C. . is urgent. So eager are the Greeks for reading matter that ‘the two Y. M. C. A, sec retaries used a contribution of $3,000 from Mr. Algedes for books. The name of the governor-general of Macedonia was stamped on each volume and it is planned to make the books the nu- cleus of a large library at Athens. Another notable contribution toward te work was made by Premier Veni- zelos, who gave $10,000 for the erec- tion of the hut at Tumba. At the time of the Bulgarian eva- cuation a gift of $1,000 from A. G. Danos of Athens was used to purchase supplies of beans, sugar and other foodstuffs for the people at Seros in Fastern Macedonia. The Red Triangls workers arrived the day after the Bul- gars left and fed 2,000 starving per- sons the first d. When the secretaries Teturned to Athens, Mr. Danos had heard of their work at Seros and he immediate- 1y went them a check for $5,000 to be spent in relfef measures. That the Y. M. C. A, movement has taken hold in Greece and is winning the hearty support of the influential people is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Alecedes, who s the moving spirit in the work, has secured over $50, 000”in contributions during the past fow weeks. Mr. Mangum was pastor of the First Baptist church of Paris, Mo., before entering the overseas vice of the . M. C. A 4 COURT SPINOZA ELECTS.

Since April 1 a very marked renewed interest has sprung up and the busi- ness men of the city feel confident that they will have ane of the best chambers in the state. No organiza- tion is in a better position to look out for the general Interests of New | Britain, to stimulate pride n our progressivo city and bring the ous factories harmoniously together in the development of our community. The chamber of commerce should be made tho medium through unselfish advancements ave The loyal support of the maaufactur- er wha sees very closely its far reach- ing influence, of the merchant who builds daily for the gradual grawth and of the individual willingly of his time and money, will | keep New Britain where she ls today, one of the leadilg manufacturing cities of New Ingland.

FACTORY BUILDS WAITING STATION The Hart & Hutchinson company has provided a much needed and a great comfort for its employees in the form of a walting station on the south side of the trolley tracks which pass the factory. Since the factory was started there has been a continual growth in the number of employes and many of them live in this city. In order to get the New Britain bound trolley they had to stand and wait several minutes. If the trolleys were Jate it was often a great inconvenience, especially in cold and stormy weather, The new waiting station will provide room for these people and will be greatly appreciated by them. MOTORCYCLIST ARRESTED. Harry Kounaris and George Con- stantis will be tried in police court tomorrow morning for violation of auto ordinances. They were arrested this afternoon in connection with an automobile accident which occurred Christmas morning. William Hoye of West Hartford was driving into St Mary’s cemetery, after giving the signal to Kounaris, who was some distance to the rear of him. In- stead of stopping, Kounaris, who was on a motorcycle is said to have driven on colliding with the team. He regained his balance and without stopping, is said to have turned and laughed at the driver of the team. When arrested he was unable to pro- duce a driver’s license and had only the registration papers taken out by Constantis, the former owner of the motorcyele. Constantis was then ar- rested for failure to report to the state department the transfer of his motorcycle. 10-YEAR-OLD BOY HELD FOR “PANHANDLING” A 10-year-old boy was arrested this afternoon by phere at the request of Charles B. Mc- Donald, manager of Fox’s theater, for panhandling patrons of the theater. For some time it has been the custom of small bovs to stand around the for a penny when they received their change from the purchase of a ticket. The boy arrested today evidently was not satisfied with a penny, but was grabbing the four cents given in change when a patron purchased a ticket. The hoy was in line and as soon as the one in front of him bought a ticket he would take the money, run and again fall in line to repeat the performance. SOCTAL WELL PATRONIZED. The A.
