Germany and 'the blowing up of -the great Luden-dorff bridge over the Rhine'. Shanghai, and. unforgettable glimpses- of 'Chinese children, their chopsticks eagerly eagerly shoveling into their mouths the rice supplied- by UN1RRA; Manila, getting" a fresh start among the skeletons of former great’ churehes- and buildings. Poland, and the other ruined countries of Europe.
»Yes, and in every one of these scenes, of destruction, the temporary centers of the YMCA, the organization which in many countries is the agency for distributing food. .In -all countries it is giving help ’ in training for the vocational work that gives- hope foT reconstructed economic life; everywhere caring for the need's of children and young people and showing them- the better ways of getting along rather ■than by thieving or crimes of violence. A great agency doing a great work all over the world.

M. C. A. in the Islands, Aide to General MaeArthur on Bataan, Purple Heart, Silver Star and Oak Leaf Clus-

NINE-BOMBS DID THIS: Tho blasted Y.M.C.A. building in Warsaw, Poland was the victim of nine direct bomb bits, Even so, the people of Warsaw have partially repaired tho structure and a section of it again is in operation. The loss of 105 buildings in the war has been a crippling blow to the Y.M.C.A,, so it is conducting a World Youth Fund campaign for $8,650,000 to provide temporary quarters and trained youth leaders for war-torn countries.
in the Valley are cordially invited to attend.
The Fund has two broad aims: first, to help lead the young people of war-devastated countries back into paths of moral decency and Christian living; and second, to help restore certain of the key -facilities of the YMCA in places that suffered nrost. The cost of this program is- easily understood in view of the fact that 105 overseas buildings have been utterly or partly destroyed, and that hundreds of lay and staff leaders are ill-clad, undernourished and badly housed, but working as they have never'worked before. The World Youth Fund will give tools to the empty-handed, and reasonable comforts to men who for more than seven years have lived in hardships and the shadow of death.
The .Fund in Allegheny County covers the regular World Service support of the different YMCA’«, plus the capital, emergency needs-outlined above. The goal is $240,421 in this- area. Subscriptions may bo paid over three tax years and should bq sent to the Sewickley YMCA to be forwarded to the -International Committee. Tho chairman of the local committee is Henry Clmlfant and W, W. Collin, Jr, is the chairman for Advanced Gifts, Letters regarding the campaign will be mailed by Mr, Collin and Mr, Neely this week
