Within a Year Funds Will be Raised for New Quarters—Big Membership Campaign Now on for Three Days—Much Enthusiasm at Luncheon Held Tuesday Night. The opening gun oM a rousing flres day membership campaign for e¢ hundred new members Wwill be fired today by the local Y. M. C. A. This will lead to a greater campaign further on in the year for a new Y. M. C. A. building in this city, At a luncheon held in the Associa- tion building Tuesday night, the va- rious team ‘members received their name assignments and encouraging af- ter-dinner remarks were given. ‘The menu served follows: Cold Ham Esealloped Oysters Rolls Pickles Pineapple Cake Coftee The luncheon was served by the following ladies, Mrs. H. H. Dawley, chairman, Mrs. Emil Fox, Miss Ruth Hamilton, Miss Ethel Morgan and Mrs. Edwin Hill J. C. Darby, chairman of the mem- bership committee, was the chairman of the evening. Mayor Allyn L. Brown was the first to speak and he empha- sized that the way to success in this campaign is to keep at it and work hard and to get around in the allotted time.” President James L. Case said: It costs money to run this association, but that is the least of our troubles; what we want is men. We can suc- ceed in this campaign if we put our time and efforts to it. Be sure to see all your men and we will win. The board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. are planning for a big campaign for the erection of a new building within a year and the succss of this member- ship campaign will add towards the new project. 1 General Secretary Hill explained the idea of the membership campaign and in speaking of the npew building he said: It will be a burning shame not to have a new building in Norwich and I am sure the good people of Nor- wich will be on their job.

A. building, sald an official of the assoclation last night is inadequate in many ways. There is very often a long waliting list of men who desire rooms in the dor- mitory and there s a great lack of committee rooms, rooms for Bible classes and club rooms. The best work cannot be done without separate de- partments for boys. They should be set apart from the men. The new building will be equipped with a large swimming pool, bowling alleys, a larger gymnasium and in every pos- sible modern improvements will be in- stalled. The site for the new build- ing has not vet been decided upon. POSTMASTER MURPHY RECEIVES ANOTHER BULLETIN o bl by Shows Advantages of Business Sys- tem in Public Service. Postmaster John P. Murphy has re- ceived from the postal headquarters at Washington a bulletin showing the advantages of business system in pub- lic service as adoptediby the post of- fice department. It points out the great strides in _the commercial world by the United States in the past de- cade and the progress of the post of- fice department. The bulletin reads in _part as follows: g The tremendous business activities developed and the fortunes made in mercantile and manufacturing pur- suits, has shown what intelligent in- dustry can accomplish, but mercan- tile reports have also shown that suc- cess does not always follow such en- ’terprise unless attendant conditions and the things that make for success are considered, for too sanguine views may result in failure. To this end cal- culation is required that profit and loss may be readily determined, risk reduced to a minimum and the chances of gain proportionately advanced. Ac- curate systems of cost accounting, which is the barometer \\'her;hy un- Known results can bc studied and measured, are held to be s0 necessary and are now so generally used that a recent authority has stated that there are twenty or more of such methods available, devised by expert account- ants to meet varying needs. This activity in business world has been reflected” in the rapid growth and expansion of government concerns. The vast expenditures required, re- quire also a thorough understanding how the public money can be handled to the best advantage, all discoverable forms of waste and extravagance inated and the government profit by cconomic control. Such questions are always considered in estimates for ap- propriation and are expected to be carried out in administrative manage- ment. COUNTY DIRECTOR INSTALLED ST.
