Y; M. c. A. Financial Needs ; And Obiecfives Explained

in connection with the annual financial campaign of the Y.M.C. A.. Mr. Ben E. Rogers. Manager of the Bank of Montreal and Chair- man of the Campaign Commit- icc. in an interview yesterday sta- ted iliat contributions already re- ceived are highly encouraging.

Mr. Rogers stated that the cam-1

palglil this year is more than the u..,;il cue. in that the Be; if Directors is determined to put the ”Y' on a sound financial basis and meet the responsibility of staffing it with additional trained help to l;-' irc ii" the i-oiitinuuliy ex- panding participation of youth in the 'Y and its facilities and to tackle in earnest the retirement of the capital debt which is the h,.Ijg''l'0 - tiir ."'st W .lu- ncw building erected in 1947. The debt now stands at 549,700.

pitnPQsE t

lir Rogers cxplaiiicii that the minimum objective of Sl5.000 viould be used as follows: on on mortgage and temporary loans. 33.000: annual principal payment on mortgage, 33.000: Op- erating annual deficit and capital expenditures on building and e- quipment. S9.000.00.

When asked the reason for the annual deficit, Mr. Rogers ex- plained that "The Charlottetown Y" like all others was designed to serve youth through providing

programs for their mental. spiri-I

tual and physical development and thc tact that upwards 0 500 boys and girls under the age 18 take part in the weekly activities in addition to several hundred young adults, is evidence that our iY' Ix going a long way toward ful- filling its purpose."

"it was never tlic intciition." said Mr. Rogers. "that a 'Y' should be entirely self-supporting by fces cnllecled from our children. in fact no child is kept out of the 'Y' for financial reasons The pol-

icy has been to encourage all chil-l

drcn to take advantage of the mental. physical and spiritual training provided by qualified lcadcrs."

"The Directors feel and i think all citizens will agree." said Mr. Rogers. "that a contribution to the iY' is an investment in our young people of I957 whom we shall expect to provide the leader- ship in church. community and husincss affairs In the years to come"

MANAGEMENT

In answer to the question of: "Who manages the 'Y'?" Mr. Rog-

lnter- 1

MR. 3- E. ROGERS

ers stated that a Board of Direc- tors of citizens elected at the an- .nual meetings handles the affair: land a Secretary who has taken special training is employed to carry out the training problems. He is assisted by a group of volun- tcer loaders who assist the indiv- iidual groups in setting up their .programs and carrying out their jiictivities.

When queried as to the future iif the Charlottetown iii”. Mr. Rog- .ers stated that it is 'very promis- ing.” ”The directors with the help

lof our citizens is going to cndeav-,

lor to repay the mortgage indebt- 'edness as quickly as possible in order to relieve our citizens of the annual outlay of at present almost 36.00000.

1 Energetic efforts will continue jto increse the membership In as to utilize fully the facilities pro- vided in the ' 4” building e- rected in 1947.

This will necessitate additional trained staff. the cost of which will be partially offset by increas- ed revenue from sources such an membership fees, bowling alleys. billiards. etc.

When the proper staff set-up has been effected. there is no doubt lliiat a ciinccrtcil c fort wii'

debt and then consider improve- imcnts necessary to keep our iY' up-toqlate and meet its ever ichanginiz needs."

l "The ti" belongs to the people." said Mr. Rogers and we believe that realizing that fact. they will respond accordingly."

Report Of Market And Scale House Committee

'l'hc Chairman of the Market atid Scale House Committee, (ouitcillor Gcrald Foster. report- cd that his committee had been to effect a saving of 5715.94 on their estimated 1956 expenditure. lit the annual review of commit- tri- at-i-nmpllshmcnts presented to the City Council Tuesday night.

”But we are not smiigly satin-l I-mi". stated Councillor Foster. "We feel certain that by con- slant application, further savings can be effected without decreas- ing the services provided".

(lur receipts for the future will lie cnsidcrably reduced by in.-ison of the fact that F.G. Spen- ccr Limited havcJ not renewed tlicir lease of the theatre portion or the Market premises. Your t'-mimittec. as a consequence. has fallen heir to a "White elephant." lie can. however. assure you, Sit. and the members of the Council that this problem is presently re ci-iving our serious attention.

We have no doubt that the mem- Iwrs of the Council feel that the rnnvcrslon of the theatre premises into a Civic Auditorium would fill a pressing need in the City. hu! ventures of this ”--ri- ro- ouirc careful and serious study. specially in view of our unhappy financial structure. Because this. we do not wish to hold out liilse hope to the many citizens who have actively supported this ilispoiiitian of the theatre prem- Ises. but we do wish to assure them that we will investigate the lmssiblllties fully.

('lvlC CENTRE

We are pleased to report that during the year I956 no less than l-'l organizations made use of the Civic Centre on an average at two weeks each. Most of these organizations were voluntary or- ganizations which concerned them- selves with exhibiting of paint- ins! and other artialtlc works. a facet of our community life well rtiscrving of our support.
