Add Muscle, Take Off Weight; YMCA Equipped to Do Both
By CONRAD PRANGE
Staff Writer, The Statesman
A stranger could walk by the Salem YMCA building any day
(and night) and truthfully remark to anybody who would listen,
"Boy, the joint's really jumping!"
Usually associated with thoughts of peace and dignity the
Y" building in Salem is bulging at the seams, furiously active and
occupies a unique nitch in the town's social and business affairs.
If you dropped in most any
morning around 6 o'clock, say,
you'd like as not find a group of
young and not-so-young business
and professional men puffing and
sweating in the handball court
A little later in the morning
you could see a class of slim, not-so-slim
and downright plump
housewives chasing each other
around the gym. And you would
find their pre-school youngsters
in another part of the building
being cared for in a nursery.
Rowing Machine
Afternoons you might find
some of the city's lawyers, doc
tors and oil dealers dropping in
for a swim, a rub-down or a go
at the rowing machine.
In the evenings almost every
corner of available space is oc
cupied by a square dance group,
a garden club meeting, a Hi-Y
session, a basketball game or a
naturalization class.
Because it is centrally located
(on downtown Court Street) the
three-storied stucco YMCA build
ing is the center of many social
activities.
Because it has what is practi
cally the city's" only semi-public
gymnasium, game-room and club
facilities and because it has the
only indoor swimming pool be
tween Oregon City and CorvaUis
and between the coast and Boise,
Idaho, the "Y" must move at a
fast pace to keep up with its top
heavy list of activities.
The local YMCA which plunges
into its fall season this week, now
has a total membership of 2,540
boys and girls, men and women.
The 1,100 boys participate in
about 40 individual clubs in ad
dition to the general gym-swim-game
room program.
From the days of its founding
in London, England, as an or
ganization to "improve the spir
itual condition of young men in
the drapery and other trades,"
the YMCA has come a long, long
way.
The local "Y" for instance has
more than 800 women and girls
as members. Figure-conscious
business girls and housewives
find health and fun in condition
ing classes, volleyball, badmin
ton, swimming and "fellowship."
Family Nights
Another popular feature is
"family night," when entire fam
ilies (only one member of which
need be a member) enjoy a night
of activity at the "Y."
Men Snembers drop in almost
Only at Brown's

anytime. Councilman David
O'Hara stops by for an evening
swim.- Mayor Alfred Loucks, Mu
nicipal Judge Douglas Hay, At
torney General Robert Thornton
are 'members. One of Salem's
most prominent attorneys stops
in each afternoon for a swim and
a steam bath.
Members and their families
come from nearly every Willam
ette Valley town. To meet the
dangerously increasing number
of summer drownings the "Y"
has introduced a new learn-to-
swim class for out-of-Salem
youngsters into its crowded
schedule.
A contemplated new wing to
the present building, for which
a fund drive will soon get under
way, will alleviate some of the
space problems at the "Y", which
was built in 1926 with a city pop
ulation of 20,000 in mind.
On an average day close to a
thousand persons use the "Y" fa
cilities in one form or another.
This includes Salem schools and
Willamette University swim
classes and the adult night meet
ings and the literally hundreds
of other activities which have
gravitated to YMCA sponsorship.
