conferencetho flrst time have nttendeda Natl loual Council annual meeting It Was impressive There were 180 in attendance and with dispatch and nheerlulness that would do dieditto any program they undertook the many heavy busi dessand lstudy items on the ag coda fiMany important topics came before this meeting whloh would like to share with you The most important thing speclt lolly for the Barrie YM GA was this mattermf YMCA and YWCA working arrangementsat thenational level For this rea son this week shall attempt to describe this particular issue and the actions decided upon JOINT ASSOCIATIONS During the past few years no joint Associations have been for med these being combinations of the CA and vYWCA operat ing under one roof one gubern iirg bodyand one stafft Barrie one or this group Some of these YMYWCAs have come from amalgamation of the two associations which had previous operated individually in giv an town or city find this usual ly occurred when particular community was considering the kind of building necessary and possibly to house these import nntparts of community life The others wars organized as joiotassnciations as was the case in Barrie because the ex tension committees of the Nat ional Councilslof both the YMCA and the YWCAcarneinto the community together and present od four choices The first one was that both YMCA and YWCA be organized under sep arate boardsof directors the second that they establish MCA many communities run family type program which in cludes women and girls the third is YWCA and fourth joint association which of cour se would be YMCAJZWCA st recently approached communities have adopted this fourth pattern This has created rather awk ward situation in terms of rela tionship with the national bodies although most YMYWCAs have found themselves in excellent positions to serve their commun ities YMYWCAs have no corn piste ties with either of the Nat ionai Councils and yet are relat ad to both Someof these difficulties arise from the difference in approach and difference in philosophy With patience and far sighted ness these can he elimi ated Honestly from my standpor think that the administrative problems can be resolved even more quickly GHALLENGES Some of the administrative challenges are represented by different methods of reporting the financial operation member ship status nd program vol

change in 1960 Sur ely report systems could bl brought to common terms with out much difficulty Then one can see the confusion of being related nationally to two sets of staff recruiting two dif ferent staff training programs and two different sets of pro yam conferences This would take more sorting out One ofihe things which am sure will have definite place in deliberations which was not mentioned at the annual meet ing is the tremendous influence of the traditionsvtbat have been built upin both associationsTho old question is asked What is in name suspect that there are great number of people in both associations who have de fensive attitudes toward chang ing names which individually relt praeot more than loo years of Christian service Gordon Dunlop and Wil llam Dewar who recently died completed study of As sociations of the YMCA from coast to coastin Canada From their study they presented their recommendations Some of them were intermed iate steps which many associa tions have vbeen leaning toward for several years such as involv ing more and more women at policy making level and program leadership in associations where womens and girls work is be coming an accepted part of as sociationlife Another recommendation was that they continue to present to new commum es the four choic es of organization which men tioned above Themost import recommendation though was that the Executive Comm tee and National Counci rn consultation with the YWCA shouldface the issue as to whet her or not the two movements plan eventual amalgamation With the adoption of this last recommendation this large and dedicated group of YMCA lead ers who came from associations with long traditions as well as from new associations decided theywere willing to face the pos sibility ofan action which would prove extremely distasteful to many of them They know that the reason both fl MCA and the YWCA have thrived and grown over all these year is because of their meet the changing demands of changingworld They are willing to investigate the possible values of making even so sweeping change as thi This then the big issue of the YMCAs national an 31 meeting Next week
