Owing to the girls not being able
to secure boarding houses in the Vii
lage, No. Z dormitory still remains
open where Al girls, who work in the
offices at Deep Water Point and else
where still make their home. The
cafeteria continues to serve them
food, while the Misses Bassett, VIII
son and Caldwell still hold forth at the
Y. W. c. A, where the young women
spend their leisure time.
1t is hoped that the women's organ
ization of Carney Point and Penns
Grove will see that the Y. W. c. A. is
maintained as a permanent organiza-
ton. 1t is an almost indispensable in
stitution in any community and we
feel sure that a request to the Ma
tional board in n. Y. City would have
the desired results. No one doubts
that the dupont Company will con-
tinue to give the use of the building
and heat for such an ideal project if
interest is shown by the
women.

a pity we can not have concerts OF
ike character every month. Those
words were expressed by hundreds
We hope to see the Comfy Concert Co
