Tho Y.M.C.A. is conscious of the fact that tho public, and especially the parents and the immediate friends of the members, expect the association to make good not only in tho provision of high-class equipment, but in the organisation of that vast amount of personal service which is essential to the carrying through of a successful year’s work. The splendid spirit of unselfish devotion of the many men and women who are involved in tho Y.M.C.A. organisation should be borne in mind by tho Palmerston North publis, who are surely quick to recogniso the outstanding value of this personal service to the community.
