Miss Dorcas Prichard was elect

Miss Dorcas Prichard was elect
ed last night at the regular,month-
~ meeting Of the executive council
Of the Woman's Department Of the
"Y", as secretary OF this orgUniza-
tion to fill the place of Mrs. w. l..

was'heid.
The main subject for discussion
last night concerned the appoint
ment OF a new industrial secretary
to take charge of the woman's
work in the place OF Mrs. Boiler
who resigned and has gone to Ore
gon. 1t was felt that it would be
difficult to replace Mrs. Boiler
who made many friends here and
took charge of a difficult work in
excellent manner. Several npplt-
cants are being considered and 1t
Is thought probable that woman
who Is now at Akron, Ohio, Will be
appointed. The council is In cor
respondence with this woman and
the matter will be decided very
soon.
The need for an industrial sec
retary is great. The work re-
uutres that much care be taken in
the selection of such a woman as it
covers many phases of "Y' actlv-
ity, and means that only an all
around woman can take charge ca
pably.
Mrs. Pat Hogue as chairman OF
the woman's council and Miss FL Z
Straight as assistant chairman,
were much pleased with the en-
thusiasm shown in last nights
meeting.
