Miss Ora johnson for Y. w. c. A..

Miss Ora Johnson has been added to
the seeretarial staff of the Young women's
Christian association and will resume her
duties at once. Miss Johnson will become
office secretary succeeding Miss Sabra
Wilson, who will give her entire time to
the employment bureau and boarding home
work. Under Miss Wilson's direction this
department OF the association work has
assumed such proportions that 1t will re-
quire the entire time OF one secretary.
This department corresponds TO the
dormitory work in many cities that it did
not seem practicable to incorporate into
the local plan. Miss Wilson will give her
attention TO young women who are
strangers In the city and others who need
assistance or friends helping them to find
work and to find a home among desirable
surroundings. Another office secretary will
probably be added to the staff when the
association gets into its new building
where the demands will be heavier and the
work greater I'm proportion.
