A full program Is being planned for the entire week and the general public is Invited to attend each event. Two outstanding speakers have been secured for Sundays anuary 9 and 10th and there will be spe- j clnl music for each of these days. ' The Hayes-Taylor Memorial Y MCA opened its doors on Sunday afternoon, December 31, 1939. and eyer since that time the building has certainly served its purpose? serving hundreds of citizens throughout the city and nation. Its program has been far reaching in scope. Hundreds of men in service have found the YMCA a "homeaway from home" and they have j enjuyeu uieir uunuiiory accoiiiimi datlons. The membership has grown from 350 to more than one thousand men and boys. The boys' department program lias steadily 1 increased until it was found neces: Miry to employ a fillVtime trained secretary. The program for men and young men lias increased its effectiveness and many substantial citizens and homes have been 1 established through the far-reach- c Ing, character-building program of , the YMCA. '* 71 The co-ed program for the teen' age youth is rapidly making vast strides and its program on vocn- t a tlonal guidance and religious train- t - ing has been fruitful. The Woman's Auxiliary has steadily ini creased in membership and they ' { have done much at the T to create that feeling of home. . The- , 'Y' has served thousands of mem- bers of civic groups by providing ( ' club room facilities to them. The ' well-equipped kitchen lias made ' R possible the serving of many bani quets and socials, y The membership campaign held i- last spring was the greatest in the history of Hayes-Taylor 'Y* and the largest amount of cash ever secured in any colored 'Y' in the state.

Hayes-Taylor YM i- CA will celebrate Its fifth year of y service In Greensboro?hence 1944 v. will be a great year for this great )f character-building movement. Because of the present overcrowded condition at th^ building "8 there is need .for a boys departP ment, additional dormitory rooms, >e and a physical plant. The latter would help greatly In the full des velopmeot of our boys?physlcnl>r ly, mentally and splrltualy, and thus help materially In combatting the rising trends toward de^ llnqency. id Mrs. Katlej Hawkins, of Richmond, Va., is spending a few 11 days with her sister and relatives, Mrs. Maggie Wagstaff. ti- Mrs. J.

Works, dean emeritus of the University of Chicago, speaking before 150 members of tlie Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for Negroes in their tenth annual session at Bennett College Thursday, December 0. Such a program Dr. Works suggested should provide for higher education in each state through (1) development of a strong liberal education at the undergrade ate level; (2) undergraduate In struction In agriculture and home economics; (3) professional educa tion for teachers to meet certifies IIUII mjuimiifiiia, uuu uuuv* graduates and graduate instm? tion In areas where there is op portunity for Negroes and when the numbers seeking it are larg' enough to make possible a higl quality with a reasonable pi" capita for current expenses. Dr. Works advocated also scliol arships and institutional agree nients wheer the number involve* does not justify giving the worl in a state institution and scholar ships although the state inay ? may not offer Instruction in tic fields. i These devices the distinguish!' educator declared, are equally ap pllcable to whites and should b utilized more fully in the futuri Continuing the theme of th meeting.
