What the “Y” is Doing. Give it Your
Support.
The Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. last
week celebrated its 53rd birthday an-
niversary, and it might be interesting
to note some of the activities and var-
ious phases of work as carried on by
the Association about twenty years
ago.
© The Hugh McA. Beaver memorial
gymnasium was opened in 1906, and
immediately classes in physical cul-
ture were started. Great interest was
shown by both old and young and the
rivalry was keen in the various lines
of indoor sports. Senior and junior
gymnasium teams, basket ball teams,
bowling groups, and other teams were
formed, crowding the gymnasium
most of the time. In May, 1906, the
hiking club was formed, making the
initial tramp a hike to Point McCoy.
On June 13th, 1906, the first field day
was held at the old fair grounds, and
the program included runs, dashes, re-
lays, races, ete.
The boys’ bible study class was or-
ganized November 15th, 1906, with
twenty-seven members, and continued
its splendid work for almost three
months. On the same evening the
mens’ bible class was instituted with
an enrollment of twenty-one.
An evening school was also organ-
ized for the benefit of the boys who
worked during the day. There also
were classes in mechanical drawing, a
glee club and a camera club.
Other features of the Y. M. C. A.
might be mentioned but most inter-
esting just now is a bird’s eye glimpse
into the future. Under the able direc-
torship of S. S. Aplin, general secre-
tary, and Harry Mentzer, physical di-
rector, the Bellefonte Y has taken on
a new lease of life, and great things
are planned for the coming months.
The Bellefonte Y is without doubt
the best equipped and best furnished
Association in any town of ranking
size in the State. With such a plant
there is no reason why this organiza-
tion should not be made a great, big,
. worth-while community centre, that
will be influential for good in the town
and country. The Y not only touches
the life of the town but it reaches out
and makes its pulse beats felt in the
rural district as well. A number of
boys from the country come to Belle-
fonte to school, and during their
spare moments they may find a
“home” in the Y. M. C. A, reading,
writing, studying, or taking physical
exercises. Thus the Y is doing a fine
piece of extraordinary work.
Among the pressing needs are beds
and bedding. If the rooms were reno-
vated and some furnishings purchased
it would be possible to accommodate,
in the sleeping quarters, fifteen or
twenty men. This rooming arrange-
ment would fill a great need, and it
would also provide revenues for the
upkeep of the building.
Unique and unusual is Secretary
Aplin’s idea of having a shooting gal-
lery in the basement of the building,
starting about the end of November.
This attraction will give the local
nimrods and lovers of firearms ample
opportunity to test their skill during
the long winter evenings. -
Three hundred volumes will com-
prise the boys’ library to be opened to
the public next month. This feature
will likely prove quite popular among
the town and country boys, as the
books will be of the highest type, in-
teresting, clean, and instructive. More
books are needed and if the secretary
is notified the books will be called for.
Many inquiries are being made as to
the swimming pool. It requires $1,200
a year to operate the pool, and about
$3,600 is needed to put it in good
shape, thus making the first year’s ex-
penses about $4,700. At present the
finances are too low to attempt any
work on the pool but as soon as pos-
sible it will be put in shape.
During the winter a course of pop-
ular entertainments will be put on by
extra high-class talent, and these en-
joyable presentations should prove
very attractive.
At present there are nine gymnasi-
um classes in full swing, and there is
great enthusiasm in this department.
Physical director Mentzer has classes
for business men, seniors, students,
juniors, young women and girls; while
bowling, basket ball, volley ball and
other indoor sports are going strong.
In Pennsylvania there are 104,500
persons enrolled as members of the
185 Y. M. C. A. organizations. The
current expenses last year were $3,-
533,000, while the net property and
funds total over $17,000,000. The Y.
M. C. A. is a great, world-wide organ-
ization, operating in every country,
and doing a splendid piece of work.
The local Y can be made a community
centre from which will radiate high
ideals and uplifting influences. It will
mean to Bellefonte and the country
better citizenship and stronger Chris-
tian character, and if it does mean
that, then every man, woman and child
should get behind the great move-
ment and exert every energy to pro-
mote the welfare of the Y and make
it a mighty and potent factor in the
upbuilding of the town and communi-
ty.
——The first oil well in the United
States was drilled in 1859 and yielded
about 25 barrels a day. The produc-
tion of the country during August of
this year was at the rate of 1,493,387
barrels a day.

news while it is news.
