Abstract

Records of an Oregon social service organization that was founded in 1911, at the urging of the Young Men's Christian Association, to limit the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and to combat "social vices" such as prostitution, gambling, and childhood immorality. Most files were created by Fred B. Messing, who served as executive secretary from 1929 to 1941. Includes correspondence, subject files, minutes of meetings, financial records, and educational literature.
