Mrs. Mary A. Dow, in addressing the
camp, spoke of the need for more
men who were sons OF veterans and
outside the order to be mustered into 1t,
and enlist their services in taking up
the work which the Grand Army men
are slowly being forced to relinquish by
the burden OF increasing years. She
suggested the recruiting OF the different
womens afilIated organizations, as the
more women there were members Of the
auxiliary, Daughters Of Veterans and
Womens Relief Corps organizations, the
greater influence that would be brought
TO bear upon sons OF veterans to make
them join the order. This influence
which the women might exert was
she thought. too little considered by the
Sons Of Veterans in working for new
members. Commander Barranger called
upon each one Of the ladies present to
speak. all OF whom expressed their pleas
ure at being present and their desire
to cooperate in the work. Past Division
