But like Ger- trude Stein‘s “lost generation", the entries expected went astray in a similar manner. and not one local creative word was re- celved. hungry men came to the court} and devoured the offerings and then later paid their respects to the “cook-of-the-mess" who. be- lieve it or not. once reigned supreme on a Stoker's mess- deck.

I By MARY DAWSON “You people started me off." Mrs. F. C. Jackson, executive secretary of the National YWCA, told the members of Richmond Hill and District YWCA at their annual meeting April 3. “A few years ago. you promised me that for a $2 memâ€" bership fee I could join the Y and see the world. You put me into orbit. As I have travelled about Canada and learned of the Y‘s work in our country and throughout the world I have been getting a different prospective. There are so many facets, but all encompassed by our common purpose." Mrs. Jackson said. She urged her, audience to consider new horizons with a willingness to live fully in the present with respect for the past and interest in the future. She stressed the importance of having an open mind for the needs and deeds of others. The YWCA is a "frontier" movement, she stated, which came into being when Florence Nightingale‘s nurses. who had defied precedent in going to the Crimea. needed a place to live and to enjoy recreation. Similarly, it filled a need of English girls working in factor- ies In Canada the movement of YWCA has paralleled the settlement of the country from its inception in St. John. New Brunswick. "1 am not the only one to go travelling." “others have gone farther away," Mrs. Jackson stated in introduction of a group of slides taken by the Canadian delegates to the World YWCA Conference in Australia last year. The slides gave glimpses of Canada from the Atlantic to the Haida totems on the Pacific, and from Toâ€" ronto to Yellowknife, the new- est Canadian Y. Included were slides of the Australian pavilion at Expo. a snowman in Brandon. craft classes, skiing classes. swim classes, physical fitness classes. New Canadians learn- ing English. and children's groups. a good cross-section of Y work. Displays around the gym in Crosby Heights School included some mementoes of Mrs. Jack- son‘s trip in 1965 to lnuvik and Yellowknife in the Yukon. Of particular interest was a baby blanket made from many Arctic Hare skins. These had been twisted and _knitted on large needles with the finished pro- duct being light, delicately soft and warm â€"â€" the original ther- mal blanket. The speaker also touched briefly on projects being under- taken by the YWCA in various Canadian centres. One of these in Toronto will be an attempt this summer to upgrade the Lngusu Ul llllllllSLdllL IIIULAACAJ and to stimulate the lives of culturally deprived children in the “inner city.“. Sociology students will be employed in this work â€"â€" students who might otherwise not find sumâ€" mer employment as there are indications there may not be enough summer jobs to accom- modate all students this year. The meeting got underway with the singing by Judith Dob- son of “O Canada". The warm and vibrant young voice gave new meaning to the familar words to set a mood of dedica- tion for the evening. Rev. Wil- liam J. Rhodes conducted the meditation period and Mayor Thomas Broadhurst expressed his pleasure at seeing the YWCA flourishing here. “You are looking after ar‘as which were neglected or 10 Red after poorly in the past," he said. urging them to continue, par- ticularly the work with young people. President Mrs. A. W. Ruby of the YWCA of Canada, in bringing greetings. commented, “This busy and alert association reflects the vitality of this community."
