William Metcalf, who are spearheading this gram with Mrs. Merle D. Norman and Mrs. Rubin Sailer, explain dialogue as "frank, from-the-heart discussion." The Freeport YW will be a part of a nationwide YW project in which women and girls will be meeting in small dialogue groups. These groups will represent people of all races, ages, creeds and economic backgrounds.

Positive Program This positive or plus program will endeavor to break through barriers recognized to be separating people of this country. The "call to dialogue" for the YW was issued by the national president, Mrs. Robert W. Claytor of Grand Rapids, and Miss Edith M. Lcr- rigo, executive director of the YWCA of the U.S.A.

The time had come the National Board decided for more understanding between pies.

A steering committee a been meeting since mid-April to develop biracial leadership teams to work with the dialogue groups. At the June meeting, a panel of these committee members, with Mrs. speed as moderator, will outline the purpose and goals of the groups.

Persons interested in participating in the dialogues need not be members of the YWCA. However, all interested persons are asked to call the YW office, 232-4197, to indicate preference of morning, afternoon or evening dia- logue meetings.

We grev tremendously," the women suid. Time To Nurture "It lakes lime to nurture a relationship between a other that will be enduring," Mrs. Metcalf added. "The value of these groups will he in their continuation." In these troubled limes, many American women and girls feel' that there is a need to communicate with others. The Lime, they feel, is now.

This feeling was shared by YW women and girls the country over. Then in a letter to YWCAs throughout the country, the national officials wrote: 2 1 Million Women "We are 2V-. million in the YWCA. "What would il mean to America if in the midst of the fear and discontent and revolution today thousands of women in small groups try to become an active force for goodwill, for justice, for equality 1 "Wluit would it mean if there were 5,000 groups of young and older women meeting continuously through the summer to search and struggle and pray and act as agents of trust and understanding and positive Freeport women and girls want to answer that question, and the dialogue groups are where they will start. at 1:30 p.m.
