I We use the words pull in advi sedly. Two strong tides pull at the world today. One is trying to i suck backward toward the old grim past, the other is trying to push us forward to a new hopeful future. Today no man, no woman, no organization can stand still. To j stand still is to step back. We the Quack members want our movement to keep moving. Moving up there in the front ranks of leadership, moving to reinforce our gallant to too thinly spread forces, our community civic cen ter. moving to unite and erect our influences in a forum of citizen thoughts and actions, moving to release the atomic energy of our Christian purpose and to put it to work to help heal a wounded world. Who me? Yes, you. Very well. So I’ll be moying today, now straight to my own YWCA Club with my gift, a special gift, no matter how large or how small, j contributing my bit to help to | strengthen and expand the pur I pose of the Quack Club.
