pTUAyWQKK For Re-opening the Y. M. M. I. A.

The following suggestive program for a meeting of stake workers to consider the date of re-opening and to discuss M. I. A. problems was sent to stake superintendents of the Y. M. M. I. A. in early January with instructions to forward to ward presidents. Officers were asked to confer with the priesthood authorities, and if it met with their approval to set a definite date for the meeting. These suggestions still continue in force. It is likely that an attractive summer program will soon be sent out to stake superintendents.
