keynote Of this organization Is loyalty.
and the Honor Guard is a tie which is
slowly but certainly binding the hearts Of
American girls together. From the north
to the south. east to west. bond OF
friendliness and loyalty is being formed,
the foundation Of which is patriotism and
mutual love of country
Honor Guard girls will be ready to give
practical aid. Over a thousand are Red
Cross members. They are also learning
to care for little children. sew. cook.
sterilize. bandage. swim. shoot and ride.
Some are learning telegraphy, some farm
ing and other useful Occupations. Th..e
are others who are invalids, and some
are blind. But all Of them have found
that they can do one thing we'll, and we.
in turn, take that talent and file and
register 1t for service to America.
No girl is asked to leave her home il
unwilling. no girl is allowed to 60 to
the front in time of war without a Red
Cross permit. Each service rendered has
the spirit of unselfsh and earnest patriot
ism. with no other incentive save real
desire to be of practical use to those in
distress or any form Of need.
