Representatives from the four other Torento branches and Woodstock, Owen Sound, Peterborough, Kitchener, and of course, the hostess city, Guelph, were present with a grand total of 120. All were business girls with an average age of 19. here were also about 15 staff people present. _ _ _ _ _, . Pnd m * Miss Dorothy Medhurst of the "Toronto Art Galleries, was the first speaker and her talk was on Arts and Crafts. She said the Galâ€" lery did not separate. Arts from Crafts as so many of us do, but eonsidered them both art. Her definition of art was: "Having an idea that is sincere and true to some extent and expressing that jdea clearly and expressively in some particular medium, e.g., clay, metal paint, etc." She also showed some very fine examples of work done by adult classes. _ ~ ESm on ts After dinner at the "Y" we all enjoyed a singâ€"song. Incidentally, the Guelph "YÂ¥" building is one hundred vears old and was at one time a hotel. After the singâ€"song, Mr. Sam Stellman of the 'Forofito .YMHA, spoke mainly on physical education and program helps. This brought us up to nine o‘clock and as we were all invited to the Satâ€" urday night "Y Knot" dance, we hurriedly put on new faces and dashed to tRe gym. Oh! Those OAC boys! Hundreds of ‘ecm! . . We then hopped into thrée buses| waiting in front of the "Y" for us and were taken on a tour of the OAC. We were shown through the Conservatory by one of the instrucâ€" | tors who pointed out vnrious; species of plants. Aftnr dinner at the "Y" we all! M on o o inE After dinner, Mr. Ed. Hyburn of Central YMCA. Toronto, spoke on "Program Reps." His was certainâ€" ly a most informative talk (it lastâ€" ed an hour) and everyone present felt that he had "pepped". them up We were all billeted out‘ in privâ€" ate homes for Saturday night and there certainly are a l6t of very mice people in Guelph! The staff people stayed in a hotel.. is EW oeneasi Bright and early Sunday mornâ€" ing (f0.30 to be exact) we met at the "Y" to attend St. Georqe’s Anâ€" fi]icln church. Rev.

F en oo en n e e ooiens "Red Letter Day in the Y" folâ€" lowed a short "stretch" period. All the "Y‘s" present exchanged the highlights of their past program. The most. interesting of these was the "Bosses Nite" put on by a club in Owen Sound to which the girls invited their bosses and found out they were human after all, . and ‘Ei-vve;\‘; some very good ‘leads for different programs in fl:le"“‘Y.‘" i opinfio i danmniibnnâ€"onprnl In the short business session which | followed, everyone . was agreed on the roint that it had been a very well planned conferâ€" ence and had given them new proâ€" gram ideas and helps to take back ACW Y‘s Thursday, April 11, our meeting was in the form of a theatre party. ‘When everybody arrived we comâ€" bined eating with a business meetâ€" ing. Results were rather disaytrous, but we did get a good day planned for our "Easter week" meeting. At mbout 6.30 p.m. we tore across the street and saw for ourselves a picâ€" ture that we all enjoyed. home. a . Guelph again served supper in the large clubroom, and Peterborâ€" ough took the closing devotional. the wall. Doug. Ward led us in a musical quizz and we all divided off:into groups and tried to make up a story from the records played, and we really had imagina« tions running, forywhen the stories were read, practically every group had a different version,. June Blackman, chairwoman for the evening introduced Margaret and Ed. Nickerson, and Jerry Cronan from the Broadview YMCA, who gave us a version of their Tuesday might radio program on "Soâ€"Ed," ‘and many of us learned a number of things about "Soâ€"Ed" that we had not been able to understand up aintil now. The evening ended with a buffet lunch served by the ladies committee, and after coffee and doughnuts we wandered homeâ€" ward bound. _ _ _ _ Out next and last gathering for this season will be held on Sunday, April 28th, at 8.30 p.m. Come on ut and make it a big success, Last 'dnelg-y night we were honoured by a wisit from a beauty reflhr (and boy did we need it). rs.

Dinner was served in the cafeteria, followed by a display of the craft work being done at the various Y branches. Some of the craft work produced at the handcraft classes in the Weston YWCA was also on exhibition, and drew many comâ€" ments and exclamations of admiraâ€" tion. At 8.00 p.m., the program in the auditorium opened with a report on the YWCA Regional Conference at Guelph which took place April ‘6th and 7th. This report took the form of a panel discugsion, and was ‘prepnrod and carried out by five members of Central Y clubs. \ _ Another panel discussion by members of the Weston YWCA was presented on the subject, "The Future of Men in the YWCA."

The t{lounz?oople of the town are in â€" the unfortunate position ‘ of in â€" the unfortunate position ‘ of having to travel downtown and back 4:& the streetcars for an hour or more each way so that they may swim for half an hour, and have a half hour‘s gym class. .. , To help bring the Lowns?‘eople to a greater realization of this most urgent need for a gym and for gym classes next fall, the Live Y‘ers Club of the Â¥WCA are sponsoring a Fitness Festival. This is under the direction of Miss June Kenâ€" nedy, who is health education secâ€" retary at Central YWCA. The group will be giving demonstraâ€" tions in gym exercises, tumbling, folk and square dancing. The festival is being held .in Central United church on April 25, and the proceeds will be used to send parcels of food and clothing to the French family which has been adopted by the "Y" as war relief work. mind of the audience as to whether a joint YMCAâ€"YWCA could not perhaps accomplish more than two separate organizations. .
