Some one has suggested that the' name “The Most Used Building in the World” be given to the structure which houses the Y. M. C. A. in Concord. This name is not inappropriate.

There is .practically no activity in Con cord which does not in some wav or another use either the Y building or its equipment. An example of the tyay the churches make use of the Y may be seen in the tact that a number of 1 them hold their dinners n the club room. Those who use other places generally borrow the Y dishes, the Y piano or get the Y to help them in some way or another. Civic dubs hoid their tegular weekly meetings in the Y.
