SPRADLEY DAN BOLEN Public Utility Building LEONARD Woop 114 West Iron Ave. Associate ¢ Phone 563 May 2, 1944 Dr. Forrest Allen, Lawrence, Kansase Dear Phog: This year the Y MC A ‘s all over the world are celebrating the centennial of the founding of their organization. The Salina YMC A, not to be outdone by her sister associations, are also planning a big celebration and will climax the same on the night of June 6 with a banquet at the Masonic Temple. We are to be assisted in our celebration by Salina Chamber of Commerce, the civic clubs and the churches. The fact that you are so well known in this community and also knowing that you understand the objectives of the Y MC A, the banquet committee, of which I am chairman, have unanimously agreed that you are the logical speaker to make this party a real success. Therefore, I would appreciate hearing from you advising me whether or not you could be with us on the above date. I trust that your answer will be in the affirmative, I might advise that any cost or expense of the trip to Salina, will be gladly taken care of by our local YN C A. May I hear from you within the near future as to whether or not you can be with us? Yours very truly, / hairman of Banquet Committee
