In Medford, the Y hopes to raise at least $500. A major portion of the mon ey will go to support YMCA fraternal secretaries overseas, Pierce pointed out. Last year, 51 men were maintained in 31 countries. Some are experts in boy's work, in physical ed ucation, in administration, but the main task of each is to train local leaders to take over the jobs themselves. Helps Strengthen Ys World Service also helps strengthen Ys in other coun tries through grants for spe cial programs, most of them in the field of leadership train ing, Pierce said. Other grants, however, help in such varied work as camping, adult edu cation, rural reconstruction, conferences, and publications. Emergency grants will aid refugees in 11 countries. 'North American funds also help to support the World Al liance of YMCAs. Headquar tered in Geneva, Switzerland the World Alliance coordi nates Y work in the 77 coun tries where the organization is now operating.
