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.
The YMCA is said to play
a unique and well-needed role
in the lives of its millions of
young members. 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."
