Secretary Richardson, Soon to Leave for New Welfare Work in Tennessee, Faces Shortage of Staff Men for This Work

General Secretary Richardson. of | the local Y. M. C. A, who leaves July ! 1st for his new field of labor at Nash vile, Tenn, is confronting a very seri- Ous shortage of secretarial timber, and | in an interview with MT Richardson, he gave out some information relative to the big work ahead of him with | the Dupont Powder company, located adjacent to the city of Nashville.
 T have accepted a position with the Dupont people as executive secretary for the welfare department, this in ciuding all recreational, educational religious and social service.
 "Tbree Y. M C. A. buildings are to be constructed, one of which is already about completed and will be dedicated this month; the other two following in couple of months This will call for a stan of three general secretaries and the full complement of assistants: physical directors, educational secre- taries, stenOgraphers. clerks, religio IS work secretaries, business secretaries, etc. Word received from the state secretary at Nashville advises that in all probability about 100 men will be required to man the three buildings.
 ''TO secure competent men of the right type to fill these positions is our problem: men who are willing to make the necessary sacrifices and required readjustments to render the greatest possible service; men who are looking for a vocation. rather than a job; men who are willing to undergo drudgery if necessary, long hours at times, and many periods of high tension, nerve racking work; men of undaunted le, sourcefulness and initiative. men who want to serve rather than be served this is the largest task before me just now. About ten secretaries are on the job and a number of prospects are be- ing considered. but we are anxious to get in touch with many more. Twenty thousand men are already at work in the munition plant, but 10000 more will be employed. The Dupont's are investing S60,000, 900 in the plants-the largest yet constructed. l understand. While the plant at present is purely wartime measure. still it is to be a permanent fixture after the war
 "The New York office advises us that the company is exceedingly anxious to render every support to the Y M. c. A. movement, the buildings, equipment, etc. are all at company expenses. and they desire to so render financial assistance that 100 per cent of the time and effort of every sec-e- taryA employed may be given to the service of the thousands of employees.
 T shall be very glad to talk with any man who might be eligible to such service. Our regular secretarial ranks are so depleted due to the hundreds of men who leave voluntarily and in the draft, and the several thousand who are serving in the army '. M. C. A. in the state and overseas, that we are compelled to look to the indurities. professions and business for recruits" that was sent him rom here, had beea returned Letters written to him by his mother. who resides in the east, were also returned.

 The pipe line extension from the Huachuca Water company line near the McCargO residence at Tombstone is being extended to the road camp and will be connected up, which vii put the water right into the camp and also to the mixing boards for the ton- struction O. the Luton Arch bridge that is to cross the only big gully be- tween Tombstone and Bisbee, or at least it will be the biggest bridge be- tween those points. It will be 100 feet long and about fifty feet hish. This water connection will be of ines timable value to the camp and road work. There win be but little water hauling by truck for the balance or the work on this stretch and what IS hauled will be for culvert work only and the small bridge to be erected one and one-half miles from Tomb stone. It is believed that in another two weeks the road will be opened up almost to the big bridge and that traffic will stop going over the hills but will go via the old ball ground until the road is opened in it's entirety. This will be welcome news to all people who drive any kind of vehicle between Bisbe and Tombstone.
