H0N0RED BY FORD
Miss Katrina Brewster Invited
to Represent vassar Col.
|ege on Peace Mission
WILL SAIL TODAY

News reached Glenwood Wednesday
that Miss Katrina Brewster, the charm
ing daughter of Bishop and Mrs. eBn-
jamin Brewster of this city, had been
invited to join Henry Ford's peace
mission abroad and that she would ac-
cept the courtesy if President Nc
Cracken would consent to her absence
from her classes for the length of time
necessary to make the journey.
Miss Brewster is this year a senior
in Vassar and, inasmuch as she has al
ways kept well up in her class studies
it is not believed that the president
will protest against her absence at this
time, especially in view of the fast
that part of the absence will come
out of the holiday vacation, involving
only little over three weeks absence
from college work.
Miss Brewster, who is careful stud
ent and close observer, was quite
eager to make the trip, realizing that
such journey would serve almost as
an education in itself. AS soon as she
was made aware of the opportunity
that was before her she wired to her
parents in Glenwood for their conseat.
Bishop BrsHstsr vas in Red Cliff and
Mrs. Brewster had some difficulty in
reaching him by phone. They decided
that in view of the extraordinary OPP
portunity presented in Mr.. Ford's in
vitation they should give their consent
to the novel request, and wired the'r
daughter accordingly.
Bishop Brewster says that in view of
the fact that President McCracken re.
fused to appoint representative from
Vassar in response to Mr.. Ford's se,
quest, he may be averse to Miss Brews-
ter making the trip. However, her
name is given out by the Associated
Press as one of Mr.. Ford's guests.
Miss Brewster many Glenwood
friends are rejoiced at her good for,
tune, feeling that it is an honor to her
and her parents and, incidentally, 10
Glenwood, her home. She is in every
sense worthy of such an honor and TIE
best wishes of her friends go out to
her for pleasant journey.
