BIG FUND CAMPAIGN
FOR WAR TIME WORK

That immediate steps must be taken
in the conservation and protection of
American girlhood during war times
was the decision of the North Central
field committee at the executive meet
ing. In which they considered the war
project of the Y. w. C. A.
The National board Of the Y. w. c.
A.. has launched a 1000, 900 wa fund
with 100000 ap%portioned to the
North central field, comprising North
and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa
and Minnesota.
Awakened to the crying need of
American girls for assistance, the
committee voted unanimously to raise
their share Of the fund, after listening
to the stirring appeal of Mrs. Harold
Weld, chairman Of the war work
committee.
A detailed discussion Of what the
association plans to do with the ST.
100000 fund was given by Miss Anna
Overs. the new executive secretary,
who has the supervision Of this war
work In addition to her regular duties.
She quoted General Funston, who
said that the greatest service any or
backbone into the ome of any army
community. To rouse American girls
to their patriotic duty In this way, she
said would be the first object Of the
Y. w. C. A.
The needs of women and girls would
be studied by association workers, she
announced, and provisions made for
workers in localities near army and
navy camps. Club rooms and cafeter-
las would be furnished for residents
and strangers, who needed the ~sisterly
counsel Of the association. Hostess
houses where women relatives and
friends can meet the men in service
would be built where they were
needed.

mission, Miss Alice Shoemaker, who
has been associated with her for sew

fence among industrial girls, and q

deared her to the hundreds she has

North Dakota has a sacred and a

food conservation movement. During
the week of October Fl every family
in the state will be asked to sign a
food pledge card which is q promise
to the federal government that North
Dakota is ~squarely behind the nation

product necessary to feed our fighting
friends across the sea-wheat, beef

err quantities Of these foods to Europe
We produce what they need; in other
words, II every housewife of the 1885,

utmost in saving something daily. in
substituting wherever possible, the
amount conserved will be extra large
In order to make this food pledge
