I WANT TO LIVE
by R. A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau)
I want to live, and just as long
Ag I possess the strength to fight
‘Against the power of rampant wrong
And to defend the cause of Right.
I want to live, God willing, ao,
Not to receive the world's acclaim,
But help mankind, this, even tho
Instead of praise, mine shall be
blame.
I want to live, not to enjoy
Such riches as I may possess,
But that all strength I may employ
In deeds of human helpfulness.
I want to live, but not alone
For self, Most earnestly I fain
Others would bless, then shall be
known
My life I have not lived in vain!

T NOTES
13,273 ATTEND “Y” MEETINGS
A large and interested audience
was present at the Eleventh Annual

Following the business session a
cartooned report of the activities of
the branch, and a welcome ceremony
for New Members was given. Harp
numbers were played by Miss Carol
Wirts during the reception which fol
lowed.
According to the annual report of
the Executive Secretary of the North
Side YWCA, the program of the “Y’
has been an answer to the problems,
needs and wants of community groups
and individuals.
Excerpts from the Annual Report—
“We have considered the very impor
tant needs of young people who are
confused as to many vital facts con
cerning the art of living, who lack
opportunities for wholesome, normal
recreation, and who ask for guidance
and understanding in meeting lifes
problems.
We have faced very carefully the
occupational needs of the unemploy
ed girl and woman, and have consider
ed their social, mental and spiritual
problems as increased leisure time
has been forced upon them.
We have realized the unique place
of the YWCA, in being called on by
many persons and groups in helping
to adjust and to supply activities for
these groups, and it is wtih great
thankfulness and faith in the fine
volunteer leadership that we have
forged ahead.
We would remind you who are
here, of the tremendous issues we
face today-.unemployment, discourag
ment, broken homes and families, dis
illusioned youth, maladjustment all
around us—and above all, the big
urge and desire of girls and women
Some of the important happenings
of 1932: Studies made by Committee
groups: Unemployment issues; Inter
national issues; Politics; Nebraska
State Laws for Women; Recreation
al, industrial, occupational problems
for something to “keep up the morale,
of the Negro girl and woman in
Omaha; Number of colored girls at
Camp Brewster during Camp Period
for the first 14; 162 at four Boy and
Girl Forums; 180 at three Mother and
Daughter Forums; 217 girls in eight
clubs; 26 delegates to 4Y" Conferenc
es.
These and many other vital activ
ities have been our efforts in 1932.
To the faithful volunteer, to the min.
isters of our churches and to our
many friends, we express our deep
appreciation for your cooperation
We face 1933 with fresh courage
and challenge you to continue with
us as we go forward into 1933.”

Youthful Strength
Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the world-known authority on Sexology
and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science of Berlin, Germany,
created
TITUS-PEARLS
to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losing
their vital physical power. In his 35 years of practice and research,
however, he realized that the weakening of man’s glands was also
responsible for other troubles: High blood pressure, hardening of
the arteries, physical exhaustion after work or exercise, dizziness,
depression, neurasthenia, etc.
All these troubles can be removed with Titus-Pearls. Numerous
cases were treated by Dr. Hirschfeld in his Berlin Institute.
L. S. (State Official; 60 years old. married) complained of
physical exhaustion, dizziness and tremors. Was easily tired. Mental
power dull and slow moving. Physical powers had been incomplete
for previous 5 years. Blood pressure too high. Given 2 Titus-Pearls
3 times a day. 2 weeks later the medical report on this man was:—
general health better, more vigor; dizziness much less and returning
of power. Treatment continued and 2 weeks later L. S. reported
again, this time to say that all weariness and exhaustion had gone;
he felt fresh and buoyant. His blood pressure had fallen, and at 60
years of age he had regained the physical power and virility that
he had known in the prime of his life.
Start regaining youT youthfulness now! To-day! In 2 weeks
time you will be aware of the new, virile force within you. Send
$5.00 (cash registered or money-order) for 2 weeks treatment. C. O. D.
