InparticularItakethis opportunityofthanking "TheRecord"fortheexcellentcoverageandgenerous spacegiventoouryouth movements.

Whiletheactivitiesofthe C.Y.O.formanexcellent barrieragainsttheadvances ofjuveniledelinquency,the Y.C.W.andN.C.G.M.preparesyouthtoattackthe socialconditionswhich causedelinquency.

On lookingthrough "CatholicYouthOrganisation,"thehandbookand constitutionoftheC.Y.O., whichIhaveonmydesk beforeme,Ifindnothingto comparewiththeleadershipformationgiveninthe Y.C.W.andN.C.G.M.
