Mrs. Bill Newhall, who started the branch
IN the fall, has young brother who has
been serving in France as an ambulance
driver in the field service corps of the
Paris American Ambulance. She is
greatly encouraged to continue the good
work, and the branch now boasts of $50
5 members. Every one in Germantown is
Interested, you may be sure, and the sue
cess of the dance is virtually assured.
Still a third affair for Sweet Charity
looms up in the near future. This time
It Is a musicale and dansant to be held
Rosemont on Saturday afternoon, May
