Paying Tribute
Unthinkingly but moat faithfully through far
visioned action Ashland is paying tribute to Robert
Weidensall, better known as “ Uncle Robert,*’ the
father o f Town and Country work earned on today
throughout the land by the Young Men’s Christian
Association.
’
Ashland has entered this fall into what appears
to l>c the highest point yet reached* in its local
Y- M. C.'A.work. W ell'laid foundations through
the years have made this possible.
When in 1SSD Weidensall presented the pos
sibility of carry ing on Y. M. C. A. work without the
use of buildings on the County or Community basis
his words fell upon deaf ears- Finally after several
years of waiting counties were organised here and
there in several states.
Not until 1903 did the International Committee
provide national secretarial leadership for this de
partment of work. In his unpunished memoirs,
Mr. Weidensall tells the story of the reception given
his message and plan, so 'unlike that of the Associa
tion Employed Officers’ Conference of twenty-four
years before. “ At the Princeton Conference Sep
tember 4, 1903, I was especially favored with ample
time to present the County work as it deserved to
be. I was fully prepared with information from the
whole field. The Holy Spirit was present in the
Conference and prepared the way for. this ad
vanced step. At the close of my address, Secretaries
and Committeemen assured me that I had won my
case and congratulated me on the sueeess of the
work already accomplished. Vice-Chainaam of the
International Committee, Mr. Marling, with his
congratulations, said, “ Mrs. Marling and I want to
give the first $100 for the support of the new secre
tary and his work.” Mr. Mott said, “ My wife and
I will give $100 to this work, and I never gave
any money with more cheerfulness than I do this.”
Other gifts followed, and with this good start,
Mr. Weidensall soon raised the fund needed, and Mr.
John R. Boardman, State County Work Secretary
of Massachusetts and Rhode* Island was called and
accepted the position as tile first fulltime Secretary
of the International Committee for the Town and
County Work. '
»
„...
Today four Secretaries servo on the National
staff and many states give supervision to this ex
tremely productive typo of Y. M- C. A. work. Dr.
Warren H. Wilson who headed a commission which
was asked to study the Town and County work made
this significant statement before »the 1922 Inter
national Convention, “ No influence in the country
has been more effective for a modern community
program in the name of Christ than the County
Work Department..........I am here to plead for ex
tension of that work.”
One of the most inspiring scenes, that evçr catno
to the attention of the Tidings editor, was staged
last night in tl»e city council chamber. Ten men were
gathered there, on one side of the railing sat fivo
eonif»osing a portion of the present city council and
the mayor. On the other side, sat Mayor Pierce, and
four of the newly elected council.
Both the old and the new were there for a pur
pose, they had met there to work out some of the
problems that confront the city of Ashland. The
only thing tliat seperaled either the old and the new
was the railing.” They were as united in their ideas
as it is possible for ten men all working with a
common purpose to be.
And that was the beautiful thing about the
meeting, these men all residents of Ashland, were
giving of their time, in order that their city might
receive the best. Thia spirit deserves the praise of
the entire community, when men are found, who
take the affairs of the city as seriously as these
men, who are willing to give of their time and
talent as imstintingly as these men, they should
receive the cooperation of the entire community.
The Tidings predicts for the new council a most
successful administration, and to the old, we can
hut say, by vour generous and broad minded atti’-
tqde you have proved yourselves greater in defeat
than had victory been yours-
More and more college Mien are taking up crime
as a pursuit, according to the warden (ff King King.
Well, there are some great opportunities in that
field right now.
Two lmliy girls were found living in a wolf’s
den in India. That completely substantiates Mr.
