When the war was over, her
home took in girls who had
come to London to work and
this continued over a period of
20 years.

__,_ In 1877 these two groups
joined and the new organization
was called the Young Women’s
Christian Association,

In Canada the first YWCA
was opened in 1870. . Without
its leadership and financial sup-
port the CGIT movement might
never have come into existence.

The years from 1915-17 were
a time of intensive study of the
jmterest and needs of teenage
girls in which was prepared in
broad outline .the CGIT

gr

era. The girls were challenged
to go into training, not as sold-

for living at their best for Ca-

YWCA. The latter provid-
ed the necessary financial sup-

por'

In 1917 plans were made to
hold a Girl’s Conference, which
is today an annual occasion.
The focal point was a large
chart on which were the four
now familiar slogans; “(Cherish
Health”, “Seek Truth”, “Know
God”, “Serve Others”, based on
Luke 2:52.

In 1920 the YWCA found
it impossible to continue to
finance the CGIT movement.
The representatives of the chur-
ches were so convinced of the
value of CGIT as a church-cen-
tered program for their teenage

ponsibility.

The CGIT has a uniform
which was decided on in 1919.
A great deal of the uniform was
borrowed from the navy.

There are three stripes on
the: collar’ and cuffs which tra-
dition says represent the three
great sea victories of Lord Nel-
son’— the’ battles of the “Nile,

iers, but in their case training

the Baltic and Trafalgar.

Funeral services were held
last Saturday from the Castle-
gar Russian Hall for Sam Holu-
<?, 85, who passed away at

Jan. 31, 1879 immigrating to
Canada in 1899. He first made
his home in Prince Albert, Sask.,

before moving to Arran, Sask.
