The text notes San Antonio observes YWCA centenary as mayor proclaims YWCA week. It highlights the YWCA’s broader mission of brotherhood beyond gender, cites Matthew’s commandments, and lists San Antonio centers including Fifth Street main branch, Pine Street negro center, and N Pecos international institute. It recalls the local founding in 1910, fund-raising chair Nat Washer, donor Mrs. G. Bedell Moore, and the 1913 cornerstone. A war‑scarred need for overseas center repairs under a centennial campaign is mentioned.
