' WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES (From Supplement) YWCA Has World-Wide Ideals First Instituted 108 years Ago The YWCA began in England 108 years ago -- by Miss Rob- arts and Lady Kinnaird joining together a Bible Study group and a group working on hostels for the nurses returning from the Crimean war. The first YWCA in Canada was founded in St. John, N.B., in 1870. The Oshawa _ Association began in 1945 when Colonel and Mrs. R. S, McLaughlin gave Adelaide House to the YWCA of Canada to be uséd for a "Y". The Oshawa "Y" is one of 52 Associations across Can- ada and part of the World-Wide YWCA which operates in 67 countries. Like the other Asso- ciations the local 'Y" serves girls 'and women from every race, creed and color regard- less of their social and econom- ic status. Their work is to answer the same needs -- hous- ing, recreation, guidance, com- panionship, physical exercise and the learning of new skills. The Oshawa "Y" provides a comfortable residence for wom- en and girls and tries. especial-|'* ly to serve the younger age group from 17 to. 25 who ar away from home for the first time, and girls from all parts of Canada, from Great Britain and other countries in Europe are in the residence where they can live together in fellowship with others who share similar ideals and goals. Another of the services carried out local YWCA is given to permanent and transi- ent residents. Any girl or young woman with a personal prob- lem who needs help is given kindly and practical advice by the Residence Supervisor the Program Director or Executive Director. The problems brought to the door of the ""Y" are many -- girls who are stranded in a strange city. with- out funds; mental patients who have been released from hos- . pitals and have no home; young married women. whase marriage has foundered, some- times temporarily, sometimes permanently. These problems, and many others, are given care- ful consideration by Y-staff members who give informal counselling with regard to them. During the past year the YWCA has had its share of misfits and underprivileged to deal with and has co-operated at many points with other agen- cies, and with local ministers and doctors in the adjustment of emotional individual by our and rehabilitation ly disturbed people. At Adelaide House a pro- 'ram of group work is carried out under the capable direction of the Program Director and the Assistant Program Direc- tor. In July there is a Day Camp for girls from 8 to 12 years of age, held four days a week for three weeks, and the youngsters enjoy a program of games, crafts and drama planned and supervised by the staff members and assisted by senior and junior counsellors. this simmer there were 156 children who took part in the Day Camp, and of the 34 coun- sellors who assisted with pro- gram, 14 of them were them- selves day campers. During the fall and winter months there isa Saturday morning program for t'e 8 to 12-year old age group and for the teenage girls there are Leadership Training courses and a Y-Teen Club. This summer the Y-Teen club has had several specia: events and a new activity for them has been outdoor Badminton on the '"'Y" lawn. Recreational pro- gram. include Badminton, Swimming, Dancing, Bridge, Social Clubs. There are also ucational groups. formed to discuss current events, citizen- ship training, preparation for marriage, etc. The Craft Shop should also be mentioned with it; program of Painting and Drawing, Weaving, other crafts, also Millinery and Sewing with Beginners' and advanced in- struction, Programs offered by the "Y"' are well attended -- from October 1962 to April 1963 -- 28 boys and girls between the ages of 8 to 12 took swimming instruction, and 190 girls and young women also took swim- ming classes. Arts and Crafts, Ballroom Dancing, Bridge, * Keep - Fit classes, Millinery and Dressmaking classes had a egistratior of 335 persons. There is also a. Mothers-Day- Out for young mothers with children ranging in age from | Counselling|}¢™ %m public support through | MRS. H.S. MYERS (President) six months to school age. The mvthers are abe to take part in craft and keep-fit classes while their children are being cared for in another area of the **. During the last program year about 70 young mothers teok part in this program. Al- together, 13,700 Oshawa people found enjoyment in one or othe- of the group-work activities cffered at the "Y". In all its program and serv- ices the YWCA is striving to meet the social and. moral needs of young women in these changing and challenging days ir which we live, and iv depend- the use of its program serv- ices by the people of the com- Interesting Guests Draw Audiences To Maxwell H&S The Maxwell Heights Home and School Association enjoyed a very active year under the ca- pable leadership of its president, Mrs. Derek Barnett and its pro- gram convener; Mrs. Ronald Lambert. In its fifth year the Associa- tion held seven meetings and seven executive meetings.
