C. A BUILDING; CHARACTER AND GOOD-WILL An Exclusive News Story By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL I Through the courtesy of Mr. W.; Ellis Stewart, secretary of the Su-i preme Liberty Life Insurance Com-j pany, and chairman of the business! committee of the YMCA., and vice~| chairman on their committee ofj management, I met Mr. H. R. Craw-* ford, for seventeen years has been? executive secretary of the Wabash, branch of the YMCA., 38th and Wa& ash, Chicago. After a trip through their build ing and a review of their efforts on</ can begin to appreciate the real good; that this organization is doing in the community by way of building character and cementing good-will between the otherwise delinquent youths and the business element oi the community. Years ago when the race started moving southward in Chicago tin? socalled “white-collar” element of the group went far beyond the ordin ary district of the YMCA. leaving only the socalled “riff-raff” or in corrigible class of youths in the im mediate vicinity of the “Y.” The committee of management de cided that their greatest work was in constructively controlling this wayward element and so several years ago they waged a campaign to interest the minds of these youths. That their effort has been a suc cess can be attested to by the recent action of the youths on the last Hallowe’en night when in the dis tricts further south thousands of dollars worth of property was de stroyed by youths giving vent to the holiday spirit within them while in the district of the “Y” no such loss es were incurred. And while the youths were playing havoc to the south of the normal “Y” district the youths in the 2nd Ward or “Y” dis trict were having a big street cele bration right in front of the “Y”. As one learns the story tne secret of their success is very simple. They knew that the average youth has a boy hero—or gang leader — as they apparently are, and in the 2nd ward there were some two hundred differ ent gang leaders. The plan then was to contact these gang leaders, find out what interested them the most, and through cooperative methods in due? the gang leaders to fraternize and indirectly control those under their leadership, and in this the com mittee of management has been most eminently successful. Over 550 boys who otherwise would be miscreants on the public streets have thus been banded to gether and now their entire pleasure is centered along an avenue that is constructive and amusing to them and worthwhile to the business ele ment of the community. These boys have their minature form of government, the gang lead ers are interested in the perfection of their own organization and the perpetuation of their own control_ but in entirely lawful and construct ive methods instead of the unlawful and rowdy methods followed by boys in the adjacent communities. The official title of their organ ization is the 2nd Ward Boys Broth erhood and in addition to their Elective, recreational, athletic and Social prc gram, they are a real asset >n the cleaning and general better nent of affairs in the 2nd ward, so nuch so that the business-men, fact ory owners and politicians not only cooperate with the boys in their ictivities but in most instances they ;ponsor and pay for the membership find other expenses of the boys in ^;heir “Y” work and in doing so find jthat the cost is insignificant when *compared to the losses sustained by boys running wild and following law less methods as they did before the “Y” campaign was waged. It would take at least twice this amount of space to adequately cover the activities of the “Y” with both boys and girls, but suffice to say that in building character and cem enting good-will their program is an entire success and should be an in spiration to other cultural efforts throughout the country.

A. Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) It never pays to yield unto the wrong, To crush the weak, because one may be strong Be false to friend or harsh to enemy, Thru cowardice or insincerity. 1 It never pays to turn from duty plain, To compromise with wrong for sake of gain; For duty shunned means heavier cross to bear And gain is loss, accrued by means unfair. It never pays to live for self, alone, If beggar, or if king upon a throne, For who lives thus will surely realize He useless lives, and unregretted dies It never pays to boast of high estate, Of lineage, nor of possessions great, For beggars now, have rich as croe sus buen, And we are brothers all, beneath the skin. Such thoughts as these might well ouf minds employ, As we give vent to our thanksgiving J'oy, Great joy comes not thru what we may possess, But living so that others we may bless.
