Call to Same Posil Work in New $130,000 Plant—Completes Highly Suc- | cessful Administration of Two Years Here on June 1st. Starkey of the I ‘Young = Men's Christian assoclation has accepted the invitation to become general secre- tary of the uascclation at Kingston, M. Y, and is to sever his comnec: with the assoclat here on June 1st, the date which will mark the comple- tion of two notably successful years in the position here. General Secretary tarkey recently sent the Kingston as- sociation notice of his acceptance of their offer after he had presented his resignation here, which was received and accepted with much reluctance by the local board of directors. General Secretary Starkey goes di- rectly from here to Kingston, where a FREDERICK R. STARKEY Dew building is in -rocess of erection, | which, it Is expected, will be ready for | cocupancy abont the Arst of August. | The situation in Kingston, Mr. Starkey | considers, offers an ideal opportunmity tc show what can be dome in a city of | approsimately the size of Norwich | With a first class aseoctation plant, and is a most inviting sitnation to anter upon.

New York State—Will Begin ¥ears old, will have a $130,000 new modern plant to work with, for which $77,000 was raised as a building fund in a six day campaign with 2,000 con- tributors. The new building has been styled by assoclation workers one of the most up-to-date plants for a city of its size. The gymnesium wing, 50x70, occupies the ground floor, where there are also four bowling alleys, Turkish baths, swimming pool, locker rooms, etc. Cutside thefo 1s room for several ten- mis_courts. The building contains an auditorium seating 700, business men’ clubroom, library, suite for the educa- tional department, banquet and lecture hall, boys™ department, with separate rooms for the older and younger boys. The top floor of the building is occu- pied by 25 rooms for dormitories. The location of the association build- ing is particularly favorable to the work. It is in the middie of the city, with a factory across the street em- ploying a thousand hands, and the big hi~h school building two blocks away. The present secretary of the associa- tion, George D. Beckwith, is to become boys ‘secretary under Mr. Starkey and a great development in the boys’ work is looked for. ‘With his departure from Norwich General Secretary Starkey will leave behind him a fine record of accom- plishment in the two years he has been here. In ome way this is indicated by membership figures when he came nere and now. Then there was a member- ship of 442, now it is 875. When he came here it was from the Buffalo as- sociation, where he had been in the work for 11 1-2 years, the largest part of that time at the head of the relig- ious work department. It was his rec ord to bring the Buffalo assocfation | up from twelfth to fourth place in all- | around religious work, What this promised in his comine to Norwich has been realized to the satisfaction of the cfficers of the local association. The reiigious department of the association work Teceived a new and effective im- pulse from General Secretary Starkey, The Sunday afternoon meetings were maintained every week through the | winter, shop meetings ia five shops mn | the cily were carried on successfully, ! the Bibie study classes were promoted | and mest recently the association came i into line on the extemsion movement | by raising a fund of $250 for work in | Tokio, It is with much regret that the offi- cers and members of the local surrender General $3,000.000 WOULD BUILD FINE CONNCETICUT ROADS. | Highway Commissioner Says He Could Make Trunk Line to Be Proud of. “Give me $3000.000 for the repair and construction of permanently pav- ed state trunk highways, and 1 will give Connectocut a system of roads tha:r it will be promd of,” declared | State Highway Commissioner Bennett, | before the committse on appropriations Tuesday at Hartford. Commissioner Bennett stated that his Tequest_for this large appropriation was based upon a careful study of the | situation, resulting in the' conciusion that only by undertaking the work on a comprehensive scale can the state| put its highways in proper condition and get {ts momey’s worth out of the funds invested in road building. The commissioper said that it would be easy to demonstrate the economy of a lomp expenditure to put a big tunk line in condition through the stats, from the New York line to the Mazsachusetts line along the shore, and - through the Connecticut valiey, with a branch continuing along 'the shore as far as the Rhode Island line.
