SEARCH IS ON: Although outclassed by Robin Hood and his merry band, these youngsters try their skill at archery daily as one of the scheduled activities at "Y" Camp Takona. Until practice makes perfect, a majority of the arrows seem to land off the target. United Fund aid helps many to enjoy camping here.

For A Better, Happier Ann Arbor Useful training and wholesome fun go together in the activities of the YWCA, where girls and young women lay the foundation sound, progressive, healthful, cheerful lives. These members of the girl reserves are having a jolly time paring apples for apple jelly which they will sell to obtain money to pay their way to summer camp next year. The annual outings are held at Camp Takona, on Clear Lake. Anything that makes life in Ann Arbor better and happier for any considerable group in the community -- particularly a group in need of neighborly friendliness, neighborly sociability, neighborly interest of the helpful sort, or neighborly direct aid in time of emergency -- contributes to making this a better and happier dwelling place for us all. That is why we all in AnnArbor have a direct concern in the raising of the community fund. That is why the appeal for contributions in the annual campaign now under way goes to all residents, those who have much, those who are comfortable well-off, and those who have comparatively little in material goods but who are so rich in the goods of the spirit that they are willing to share something of their material worth with those who have less. Eleven agencies, each of which is doing a necessary work aiming to promote the welfare of some of our neighbors, are included in the Community Fund. A contribution gives the donor a share in their efforts to alleviate distress or want, to adjust problems, to build lives that are more worth the living. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of the eleven. It works with and for girls and women. It promotes their social welfare, their economic welfare, their cultural welfare, their physical welfare, their spiritual welfare. It has educational and recreation classes for the Girl Reserves, for business girls, for industrial girls, for domestics, for home girls and for boarding girls. It maintains the Travelers' Aid Society. it has a small boarding home in connection with the YWCA building. It operates the summer camp for girls Lake Takona at Clear Lake.
