ROL S. BUFFATT, Temporarily in Charge. MISS BIGNALL NEW SECRETARY Succeeds Rev. B. A.
Williams in Associated Charities Activities At an executive committee meeting of the Associated Charities yesterday Miss Louise Bignall was unanimously elected to succeed Rev. B. A. Williams as secretary. For several months past, Miss Bignail has been the acting secretary, during the absence of Rev.
Mr. Williams, who resigned his position in order that he might give his entire time to his farming interests in Virginia. For about three years Miss Bignall has been the first assistant in the office, and is therefore fully conversant with all details of the work. Rev. Mr.
Williams the retiring secretary, served the Associated for about five years and was held in high esteem by all of the members of the executive committee. He leaves the organization with the best wishes of all. E. R. Wade, chairman of the executive committee of the Associated Charities, stated on Wednesday that while 1 he and other officials of the organization greatly regretted the retirement of Rev.
Mr. Williams from the work, they considered the assocation especially fortunate in being able to obtain the efficient services of Miss Bignall as his successor. "Rev. Mr. Williams was granted a six months absence, in order that he might look after his fruit farm in Virginia," said Mr.
Wade. "However Mr. Williams has found that because of extreme difficulty in obtaining help, it is imperative that he give the farm his entire time and attention. Therefore, he has resigned. During his absence the work of the secretary has been handled by Miss Bignall, who has been friendly to and actively in promoting the interested, Charities work.
With her it has been a labor of love, eager to do something less fortunate. When we suggested that she take up the work as Mr. Williams' successor, Miss Bignall was reluctant to consider or accept it, but finally she yielded to the persuasions of members of the board, and we are pleased to announce, she has undertaken the secretaryship."

Sergeant Hal B. Winfrey, of Concord, in writing to his sister, says that he thinks, that the American troops are to have a chance to get back to the old U. S. A. soon as they have driven the Huns back a great distance since June 16 and now occupy almost a straight line from Soissons to Rheims.
He also tells of the joy in getting dead Huns instead of live ones as the dead variety do not have to be fed. "Tell them to make plenty of peach preserves at home as I shall be there to help eat them. And the time is not long off, either. We are after the Huns just as those negro boys usad to chase rabbits around, home. We are catching lots of them too, and a great many that won't have to be ed -they won't bother us any more.
"The American line runs almost straight from Soissons to Rheims and that means driving some since June 16. We are doing fine here but will move up to the front in a short time."
