COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
MEET.
WILL ENTERTAIN DISTRICT LEADERS
AT LUNCH AT FIREMEN'S BUILD
ING SATURDAY MRS. c. 0. Glenn
SON MADE PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN.

The Women's Section of the Mary
land Council of Defense for Carroll
county, of which Mrs. Robert Sargent
Shriver is chairman, Mrs. Henry Nj.
Fitzhugh, first vice-chairman Miss
NJ. Madeline Shriver, second vice
chairman; Mrs. S. H. Unger, secre-
tary and Mrs. John H. Cunningham,
treasurer, held December 4th, it's first
business meeting since the organiza-
ton of the new commission recently
appointed by Governor Harrington
The Commission appointed Mrs. Chas.
o. Clemson as publicity chairman.
An invitation has been extended to
the district leaders to join the mem
bers of the Commission at a get-to-
gether luncheon at the Firemen's
Building, this city, on Saturday, De
cember 8th, at 1 o'clock, to meet Mrs
Edward A. Shoemaker, the State
Chairman, who will put before them
the plans of the Commission and the
work to be done. 1t is earnestly
hoped that all the county leaders will
be present, that there may be per-
fected solid organization all over
the county, ready for any work neces-
sary to a speedy and successful cul-
mination of the war. The Importance
of this work is urged by the Governor
of this State as we'll as by the Gov
ernment at Washington. AS a branch
of the Council of National Defense,
this organization, with it's District
leaders and their workers, is the med
ium through which the Government
desires to launch and carry on the
preparation for the war. Red Cross
is absolutely necessary hut if we do
not properly prepare our defense, the
Red Cross will have more wounded
than it can care for. Therefore. the
county organization of the Council
Of Defense can be of invaluable as
sistance-in denying false reports, in
helping conserve food, in protection
for women, in safeguarding the NOR
ais and health of our communities, in
promoting Government loans and
thrift stamps, and in many other
WAYS
