Mayor Asks For Support “I commend the- appeal by the Christchurch Young Men's Christian Association on Friday.” said' the Mayor (Mr G. Manning) yesterday. “There is no doubt that the Y.M.C.A. is doing some valuable work for the community when it takes our young boys into camps and into training groups to prepare them for living healthily in cur society,” Mr Manning said. "At the present lime there is a great challenge to the community by the attitude of a minority of our young people, and this challenge is bring taken up by the Y.M.CA. with its plans for social fellowship, health camps, and character training. I wish, the appeal every success.” In hoping for added support for the annual street day appeal this year, the organisers look forward to being able to improve the association’s headquarters building in Cambridge terrace.
The response to invitations to act ,ss collectors on Friday has been good, but the association would still welcome offers of assistance for any part of the day.
