WOman's Council of National Defense
| Movement
Mrs. R. L. Anderson, the chairman
| of the Ocala unit of the Woman's
committee of the Council of National
| Defense, called the first meeting of
| this defense movement at her home
yesterday afternoon. Every society
and woman's organization was repre-
sented at the meeting yesterday and
plans were discussed in regard to this
new work
The idea is to register every wom-
an in Ocala over sixteen years of
age, on the days, Sept. 10, 20 and 81,
for the purpose of ascertaining what
work each woman is best fitted for, in
case the nation needs their assistance
There is nothing binding in the sign
ing of signature, it is simply to get
the women of the entire country to-
gether for the benefit of themselves
and their country.
Mrs. Anderson has appointed a
committee of eight with assistants to
take charge of the registering, which
may be at central headquarters, but
will most probably be done by house
to house canvassing.

assisted by Mrs. M. J. Roess and lit
tie Miss Mary Rachel, served chicken
sandwiches, olives and iced tea. Those
