    A Question, a Commonplace Answerand a Whole-Souled Argument.Q. Are you I nt er es te d i n t he Y.M. C. A.?A. Not interested, whatsoever!Why, now, what's th e use, Mr.

    Ci tizen , for you to be in terested? TheY. lVl. C. A. is reaching out for th eboys and girls of N arberth and forsome men of Narberth who ARE Int er es te d. Why should th e averagecitizen become i nt er es te d i n th eyouths and lassIes of ou r town; why~ h o u l d he support an inst i tut ion thatis h el pi ng t o hou se our young peoplean d to i ns t ruct t hem physi ca ll y andsocially and morally in a way helpful to them? Why should a Boroughite go down in his c oin chestfor 25c or more a week t o supportou r work?

    I f you have a boyar girl who canuse th e association building and itswork, your support will come unsolicited-for what would th e self-denial of a Bmall weekly payment meanto you when y ou k now your son ordaughter will be en joying himself orherself in the heal thy environment ofth e Y. M. C. A.-the community center.

    If you have no children, you wouldno t be Inte res ted in t he s am e measure, bu t you would no t withhold yoursupport from th e suffering Belgiansor fOr th e feeding of persons in afaroIT city. IThe Y. lVI. C. A. does not a sk alms; Iit appeals for your support, either b j 'f inancia l a id or pcrsonal service, onth e basis of it s us eful ness t o thecommunity and on the merits of Itsequipment-gymnasium, play room,game room, etc., and because of thesocIal opportunities afforded th e Iclean, healthY, young American ofoUr town.Some men are so preoccupied withbusiness,_troubleS and enjorments thatthey overlOOk th e bOYI3 and girls or ourtown; bu t one of my greatest pleasUNls Is to come In con t ac t w ith thechildren of my fellow-citizens to eujoy their spIrit and to play and workwith them for an hour or s o whe n Ica n m ak e I t conv eni ent t o do so and I find I CAN mak e It "conveni en t" t o do so very f requ en tl y. Andmost of our ci ti zens cou ld do th esame.Of cours e, w e a re told that thep la ce f or young folks is at home;but-Hall work and no play"-you

    know th e rest.Come on, now , Mr. Man , g iv e th eY. M. C. A. th e good boost. Le t everybody h el p s om e little. Don 't e xpec tanyone per son to r un things, bu t pu tyou r s ho ul de r t o t he wheel and help.

    ON THE 8.14And Elsewhere 1n Our Town

    Perhaps we can't " gr as p t hi s s or ryScheme of Things ent ire," bu t wecan at least grasp it to the extent ofNarberth, and the only sure way todo that is for every person whoseresidence in the borough goes tomake t he town, to take an interes t inlocal affairs and lend a helping hand.The best way to prove that youprefer l iving in Narberth to fightingalong the Alsne, and that you bel ieve in a democracy , c iv ic r ighteous n es s a nd a socia l conscience, is toget busy right here-in Narberth, andright now-on the threshold of 1915.Take t he i dea that is bacle of theCivic Association-not our s any morethan theirs-hut take the idea ofcivics and expand it far enough andyou'll h av e a n organization, an idea,an at ti tude, a viewpoint or whateveryou c hoos e to ca ll it that wi11 prevent wars, and you won 't s top themuntil that day arrives.B ut a s I rv in Cobb says, "there's acertain lady to whom I am relatedby marriage who threatens to leaveme if I dont s top ta lk ing about th ewar." So we'll put on another filmand consider

Why? Becausei t -or rather " th ey ," meani ng themembers of the band-with all thecharacteristic "ump-tahump-tah-umptah-ump" of the most thoroughlyGerman band that ever played itsway through Brewerytown, stood under the electric light at Elmwood andMaple avenues, the other night, and"favored us" with that georgemcohan-sounding war song, entitled-?

    You guessed it-Tipperary!Yours for more neutrali ty,Chief Wingebone Junior.

    "Ah, Love! cou ld you and I with HimconspireT o gr asp this sorry Scheme ofThings entire,Would 110t we shatter it to bits-andthenRe-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire?"

    Certainly you don ' t have to makeany New Year resolut ions, if youdon't want to, and a great deal ofwhat you will probably say aboutthe absurdity of such pledges will betrue.On the other hand-ah, t ha t' s t hefine, l egal phrase (one of our lawyerfriends was around to the t ep ee forvenison the other night)-while wem ig ht s ay a s mu ch t o prove t ha t t hef au lt w as n ot wi th t he m ak in g ofreRolutions, but in f ail ing to keel)them, all that will be waived or allowed or granted or whatever is th ecorrect word, a nd we sha ll pr oce edto resolute to ou r heart's content.Therefore, we do solemnly declare:First-Tllat during 1915 we willtake a little more interest in civicaffairs-because we know in ou rh ea rt s t ha t to make Narbe rt h th every best home town, we all-eachand everyone of us-must take partin borough activities: give a littlet ime and t hought to i ts p ro bl em s;serve on a c ommitt ee, when th at isnecessary; put in a couple of hoursof work when that kind of help isneeded. Confidentially!

    You 'd do that much, in a jiffy, ifthe Bos s a sk ed you. Yes, you wou ld .We've all done i t m an y a time . andwe'l l do it again.

Wherewere we? Oh, ye s. Don 't y ou thinkthat an old Indian Chief doesn'tknow all about s tand ing i n w it h th eBoss?

    Editor Our Town:I do feel that we need larger andbetter post office facilities. This factis evident to anyone who will take thetrouble to watch conditions in ourNarberth "Cubbie Hole" of a postoffice, part icularly when the 5.15 or5.45 P. M. trains arrive The efficientattend :tiltS do thei r best to serve allpromptly, bu t it is a n impossible task.I g ue ss my shoes ar e larger thanmost of our citizens', because I always h ave t o pol is h them after stopping at the post office and beingwalked over in that alleyway in frontof the lock boxes.-H. C. Gara.

    To t he Edi to r:Any movement toward th e betterment of oUr mai l f ac il it ie s will rec ei ve my h ea rt y e ndo rs em en t. Wecertainly need a larp;er pos t of fice andin my opinion a st il l greater need isthe free delivery of th e mail to ourIhomes. Yery sincerely-John VanNess.

    Editor Our Town:I t does seem that we have reached

    t he stage when the small shedwhich bears the dignified name ofpost office should be relegated to thescrap heap and somet hi ng more inkeeping with the growth and development of the borough substituted inIits place. Of cou rs e, we know Unc leSamuel has been very busy tryingt o mai nt ai n friendly diplomatic relations with Europe and Mexico, butcannot someone get his at tention longenough to impress upon him the importance of ke eping a br ea st of th eforward movement in Narberth?Citizen.

    OUR EFFICIENT POSTMASTER.Hearty commendation is due ourpostmaster and his assistants for themanner in which they handled theChris tmas rush, and the pat ience and

    courtesy that was shown t o a ll , evento the extent of keeping open twohours later on Christmas morning,so that each m ight have an opportunity to get all their mall . Surely,we will a ll s ay wel l done, Mr. Haws.

    To t he E di to r Our Town:Is our borough In the cross-roadsclass that we should be inflicted withan antiquated post office which ishardly equal , to th e count ry s to revariety-there you have space tomunc h a cracker a nd e xc ha ng e t heusual village r ep ar te e, whe reas wehuddle together In a very limitedspace. so crowded as t o be pos it ivelyunsanitary and it requires diplomacyand ingenuity to extricate one's self.A borough of 2500 or more peoplemost assuredly is entitled to muchbetter treatment from the pos ta l authorities. and I am sure if their a ttention is ca lle d t o t he i nadequat efacilities in Narberth, they will 1'(edy same.
