The patriatic organization was fur
Their perfected Friday by the choice of
Mrs. Maude Stanley, Casselton, as
treasurer; and Mrs. R. E. Weible, of
Fargo, second vice president, and the
appointments of several additional de-
partment heads, as follows: Food Con-
servation, including canning, shipping,
etc, Miss Mae Mcdonald, of the 'Ex-
tension department of the A. C. at Far
go; Protection of Women Workers,
Hours, Wages and Conditions, Miss
Aldyth Ward, Bismarck, and Health
and Welfare of Children, Mrs o. A.
Stevens, Lawton. Miss Mcdonald is
already working with good majority
of the agricultural women of the state,
and Miss Ward is already in charge of
the Protection Of Women Workers,
ment of Gov. Lynn Frazier. The title
of the Office in the original organiza-
ton held by Mrs. Clark Kelly, Devils
Lake, was changed to Food Production
chairman. Mrs. Frank White retains
her Office as Registration chairman,
being especially fitted for the same by
having charge of the registration OF
women in the entire Mountain district,
comprising ten states; and Mrs. L. G..
Sateren, Grand Forks, remains Red
Cross chairman. 1t was voted Friday
to give the four general officers power
to add secretaries as needed.
Another important appointment Fri
day was that of Mrs. r. E. Weible,
Mrs. H. G.. Wick and Mrs. Fanny Quain,
the latter of Bismarck, as committee
to confer with Governor Frazier re-
garding state recognition of this Or
ganization, that there may be close CO.
operation with the State Board of De-
Tense. organized recently. The organ
ization perfected Friday hopes to con-
form with the national committees
idea of acting as a clearing house for
the patriotic service of North Dakota
women, and hopes to receive financial
aid to assist it in doing that service,
from the state. Until the above-men-
toned committee has conferred with
the governor, no definite plan of f.
nancing the organization will be an
nounced. Mrs. Weible is chairman of
the Woman's Organizations depart
ment of the State Board of Defense.
All present agreed that it was the
wisest course to utilize the work al
ready done in the state by the North
Dakota Woman's Patriotic Emergency
committee, especially as there is so
much confusion of effort in North Da-
kota, as is the case all over the coun-
try. This confusion is due to the en-
thusiasm of people generally, finding
vent in the formation of organizations
whose work often overlaps 1t IS
thought that before long much of it
will be cleared away by organizations
working along the same lines being
merged, as is being done in this state
by such action as that at Valley City.
Chairmen had already been appointed
in u North Nakota towns to supervise
the registration, Red Cross and food
conservation efforts which give a val
liable machine to work with at the
start Women in every one of the 54
districts in Barnes county are already
at work on registration, reported Mrs
White, and fine work has been done
by the leaders residing in Valley City,
the past few days. They have achiev-
ed a record of which any eastern state
might be proud.
Fifteen state sub-chairmen in all
are suggested by the national COM
mittee, to include aside from work to
be supervised by those already ap-
pointed, such lines of endeavor as so.
