Women of Merion arc today expos
ing an added interest in the livic bet-
terment of their communit because for
the first 'time in its history women hnc
been elected to the board of directors of
the Mellon C'iio Association.
"We nro grpatlj pleased." said Mrs.
IVrcj 12. Matthcs, first woman scue-
tnry of the association, 'anil we wean
to gie such f-ntisfndion in our work
that in time at least linlf of flic diicc
tis will be women . At present we hnu
five icpicsentnthcs on the board, which
includes tweutj -Cue members. I feel
that the board will be bettered bj our
presence for the simple reason that
women have a very good insight into
tiie needs of a community. They spend
most of their time theic nnd thc ran
sec what is needed. They have kren
sense of benutj and design that will aid
in tlio making of mic impioveineiits.
Certain!) men and women working to
gether, sharing ideas and working out
plans, can accomplish more than men
ulone or women alone.
"There was very little opposition to
women on the board. The association
lias contemplated the naming of women
for some tiuie. We are not well ac
quainted with the woik of the oigania
tion because we hac never nttcndecl any
of its meetings. And the women have
not mn'de any plans oi their own. We
mean to co-operate in every wa) with
the men nnd simply assist in carrying
on the good work of the association."
Mrs. Iloss Cornish, Mrs. 'John J.
Boericke, Mrs. Alba H. Johnson, Jr.,
and Mrs. Tlroinas Andrews, the others
elected to the board, expressed their
pleasure today in being among the first
women to serve in such capacity. It is
expected n meeting of the nssocintion
will be called soon, when the work for
the summer w ill be outlined nnd the new
members will be put on committees!

The dream of the
book-keeper
This was the third night he had worked overtime. He
was still far behind in his work. It seemed almost as if he
were on a treadmill working feverishly doing the very
best he knew how but getting nowhere.
He stopped in his work for a moment and picked up a
catalog. Let us look over his shoulder as he reads:"
"For 27 years, ever since Library Bureau introduced it,
the card ledger has outclassed the old method of keeping
accounts in books. ,
"Now that the day of the mechanically posted ledger is
here, its advantages are even more evident.
"With the card ledger it is ea'sy to keep postings up to
date. Statements go out promptly the first of the month.
The L. B. Card ledger gives the bookkeeper a chance to use
his head."
Dreams do sometimes come true. Today this same bookkeeper doesn't
know what it means to work at night. He is off the treadmill. He does
more work he does better work and he does it in less time. Yes, sir
he is using the L. B. Card ledger.
