When he wants excitement and entertainment, the young fellow shown in a quieter mood in the above photograph need not join a "gang" of the type which in former days was responsible to a large extent for the development of young criminals. Instead, he knows that he can find all the entertainment his active young mind desires at the "Y" - where he can swim, play a variety of games, read or listen to the radio in a wholesome, Christian atmosphere with other healthy, clean-minded fellows his own age. One of the major factors credited with banishing unwholesome neighborhood gangs in the Young Men's Christian Association, which provides boys and young men with opportunities for physical growth and fitness, for informal education and growth of mind, and for acquiring self-direction and poise. The "Y" is one of the agencies whose programs are made possible through contributions to the Ann Arbor Community Fund, which opens its drive for $55,000 in pledges today.

CANOEISTS' RESTING PLACE: Just above Ann Arbor the remnants of an old dam, the last evidence of the grist mill which once stood there, offer a resting place for canoeists. In the days before the white man came to Michigan, the Huron formed a portion of the Indians' network of water trails. Most of the river is now navigable by canoe, but if camp sites and portages were developed along the Huron and Clinton rivers, the two streams could be utilized for healthful, pleasure-giving overnight canoe trips by the residents of southeastern Michigan.
