SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1918 10 YMCA Observing Its 116th Year; Movement Is Reviewed Celebrating its 116th anni vcrsary, the Young Men's C h r Is 1 1 a n association now claims a world-wide member ship of over 4 million in 77 countries and territories. Robert Jones, secretary of the Medford YMCA, noted there are some 10,000 YMCA ' centers in the world with sev eral million volunteer work ers In addition to its mem bers. Members of the group call it the "world's leading Christian youth agency," ac cording to the secretary.

It assists in the fields of spiritual train ing, training for democracy, leadership training, education al help, training in trades, promoting better health, sports, in citizenship training and community mindedness, and in uniting people. World of Pressures Jones emphasizes that grow ing youth today live in a "world of pressures from big business, big governments, big cily living, big political par tics, mass entertainment me dia, mass ideologies, and the omnipresent pressures of ad vertising. "If the individual in this era seems destined for extinction, this will certainly not happen as long as our YMCA's keep operating," he continued. "The growth of individual personality is a YMCA goal. The growth of Individual tal ents and interests is its pro gram. The development of In dividuals, free people for fre world, is the result." Local Y officials have de clared that "We are unaware of the worldwide influence it (the YMCA) exerts as part of the world-wide movement car rying on the same programs simultaneously in almost every key center of the free world." Examples Are Cited Examples of the movement cited by Jones includes youth assistance in Japan, the Uni ted Arab Republic, Ethiopia, Jordan, India, the Philippines, and in Israel.
