wars working, getting sa average
of six days per month la the Railroad shops. Despite these handicaps aad through Ua management,
the association has successfully
weathered the storm, meeting its
obligations in fall and on time
without Incurring s deficit.
He waa seventeen when he entered the work snd' h*e been in
charge of th* program since he
was eighteen. Since that time,
Bellwood' has always been in front
rank  among    associations    of    it*

several    times   been rated tiie outstanding Railroad "Y" ia the State.

was than es he is now, the youngest general secretary in the country
He promoted five successful membership campaigns and * finance
campaign. He ws* especially successful along religioue line* and
among hia achievement* were the

and he personally organized forty
five clubs of boys, girls and men
for spiritual uplift The Phalanx
fraternity under Y. M, C. A. direction, twice asm tbe State-wide
Bible study contest for young men,
sad the Bellwood" Hi-Y club waa
