NeU. 1:5. C. . , . , r OUR BEST IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH Fred. Ifanson. the new regional secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association having under his supervision the activities of the Pacific slope states, in his initial visit wfth the Salem local board and official staff last week, illus trated his functions in the newly created position which he occupies by telling of an experience of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. of New York City. "theniembers of that board, a couple of ears ago, con sidering the needs of the work of the metropolis, decided that it was necessary to ask for a new building and betterment fund of $9,000,000 And it was decided to send a letter to John D. Rockefeller Jr. asking that gentleman to subscribe half the sum. Mr. Rockefeller received the letter And replied to it. In the first place, he said hve was interested. And he followed this statement with a series of questions, something like these: Were the old buildings of the New York Y. M. C. A. in the proper locations? Were they so arranged as to allow the most usful work? Were they properly equipped? Just what was the highest function of the Y? Were the official staffs doing as well as that many employed officers should do? Was their work properly supervised? Where would the proposed new buildings be located? And, lastly, was $9, 000,000 enough money? The members of the board at their next meeting consider ed Mr. Rockefeller's reply And they could not answer it., ' It was suggested that an expert be called in, from Colum- ! bia university. This was doneC ' The etxpert said the answer ! might be hsd, but it would take a survey of a year, and it would cost $40,000. The directors agreed,' and personally subscribed the 140,000- And the result is that three of the great Y buildings in the metropolis are to be. sold for other uses; one of them" a historic building. And nearly all the new buildings are to be located in different places than was contemplated by the directors when they asked for the" $9,000,000.'. And nearly all the old buildings are to be rebuilt and rearranged Not only this, but the New York survey has resulted in the greatest Y building in Minneapolis being built over, so as to provide many small club rooms; and the same thing is happening throughout this and other countries.

SERVTCK PAYS -iThe poat'Offlce' fB-Sweden is a money making Institution the net profits, lor the" last year being $3,271,317.56 or 1.55 per inhab itant. ;r.V The lesson is that, no matter how well you are doing, you might do better. And your best is not perfection. Your best is not good enough. You may not, by taking thought, add a cubit to your stature; but by making a survey and taking thought you may improve upon your work Andmake yourself a greater use to your day and genera tion. -- . Fortunately, the Salem Y has a splendid J new, building. Its arrangement is good, for its purposes. But time will show chances for improvement. What are its purposes? What is the Y for? It does many things, and properly so, and does them well. But the whole purpose is character building, and many essentials are in the ingredients of character, building, looking to purposeful, useful lives. ... HOT air v Through the Loud GpcQlicr Scientists hint that eventually they'll be able to broad cast heat. When that time comes coal -men will be operating broadcasting stations and you'll be tuning in your radiator as well as your radio. However, that's but a whisper from the future. ;. : In the meantime the wise buyer continues to. use Hillman Fue) company's quality fuels 'And"f or the very' . simple reason that the coal is hand picked at the mines which prevents all static, now known.asclinkers;-it is' low in volatile thus preventing all interference, in the flues; and is high in B. t. u.'s thus making perfect re-, ception, of the heat. Also, it probably costs a whole lot less than the heat txf the future through the loud speaker. Call 1855 or 27 today. That's the answer to the burn ing question ef the present.
