Station Wagon Needed By "Y" Wanted: One station wagon, with en gine included. Anyone having a spare station wagon to donate will kindly get in touch with Mr. R. G. Bell, Y.M.C.A., University of South Carolina. The engine dropped out of the old "Y bus" the other day, leaving seven members of a deputation trip to Dillon and Mullins stranded in the middle of the Wateree river swamp. It cost $7.50 to tow the wreck to Sumter, where the mechanics of a garage said the cost of putting the engine back in would run above $100. When members of the deputation teani phoned to Mr. Bell to ask advice, the "Y" secretary said, "Just leave it there." Vithout means of transportation, the work of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. will be severely handicapped. It will be difficult to transport Carolina students to and from the jail. They have been taken regularly to the city jail and state penitentiary to give Sunday school class es to the prisoners. Depuation trips to high schools and other colleges in South Carolina will have to be discontinued un til another means of transportation can be found for the "Y". -o. w. 0. J.
