Y. M. C. A. Financiering,
j;'" In the Few York World of last
Sunday we find an illuminating
article about the financial transl
actions of the Y. M. C. A. during
the World war. The World
shows that from the beginning
of America's participation in
-the war to January 1 last the
canteens operated by the association
for soldiers and sailors
returned a net profit of over
?'/ $500,000, although a report of
ths association, published in
March, 1918, led the country to
believe thas the conteen service
had been operated at a loss of
' nearly ajmillion and a half dol
Jars, Vfhy this discrepancy between
the figures of 1918 and
those of 1920? It is hard to believe
that the Y. M. C/A. deliberately
set out to mislead
those who contributed so liberally
to its war time activities, but
it must be said that the actual
figures presented by The World
do not leave a good taste in one's
mouth. During the time the
American soldiers wqj*e in
Europe in great numbers we
heard much of the alleged exorbitant
charges they were
forced to pay for articles at the
Y. M. C. A. canteens and until
the Squth Carolina boys began
to return home and vouched for
the reports that had come fjjom
more or iess doubtful uuurces,
we were inclined to attribute the
stories to a rival organization
Now, The World also confirms
the charges that the association
made big profits on its financial
'transactions with the soldiers
while they were in Europe. To
our way of thinking the figures
reflect no credit on the associa
tion. The Y. M. C. A. apparently
owes'the country an explanation
which it may or may not be
able to make. ,
One Day for RegistrationCitizens
who desire to vote in
the $20,000 school bond election
to be held in Fort Mill during
the month of April but who are
without the, necessary county
registration certificates to enable
them to participate in the
election are reminded that next
Monday, March 1, is the only
day on which they will be able
to secure such registration certificates.
, This election will not
be confined to citizens of the
town only, but to citizens of the
school district whether they reside
in the town or country,.
J. Trustees of the school explain
??, that the bond issue is necessary
to complete the building started 1
during the spring of last year,
wprk on which was suspended
because of lack of funds.

byterian church, and W. R. #
Bradford^ following which the J
certificates were delivered by J
Colonel Spratt. The services (
were presided- over by Capt. P. (
Murray Mack. (
Typical of the artistic nature
of the French people, the certificates
contain a beautifully
engraved group figure' placed on
a cenotaph, on which is the
signature of the war president
of France, Raymond- Poincare.
**To the memory of of the
United States of America, who
died for liberty during the great
war, the homage of France."
Above the group figure is a
quotation from Victor Hugo,
"Th? people should come to pray
at the graves of those who died
for their country."
At the conclusion of these exercises
a permanent organization
of Fort Mill post. American
Legion, was organized with
Robert H. Ardrey as post com
mander, Samuel W. Parks vice I
