70 WOMEN OF UNION COUNTY

Every county in South Carolina is
being organized for National De-
fense, and women as we'll as men are
called upon to serve.
Mrs. Louise Mayes, of Greenvile,
is chairman Of the South Carolina Di-
vision of the Woman's Council of Ma
tlonal Defense, an organization of
earnest women who have answered
their country's call and pledged them
selves to enlist the interest of every
woman in the State, in the mainten-
ance of the food supply for ourselves
and our allies.
The aim of the committee. is to give
every woman an opportunity to serve
in the way for which she is best fitted.
The Union county organization is
being perfected, and it is hoped that
every woman and girl will feel a per-
sonal responsibility to help with the
work.
The men of Union county have re-
sponded nobly to their country's call.
Union has the distinction of furnish
ing 33 more men than was required of
her, on the first draft for troops. We
are proud of the record of our men,
and let us endeavor to emulate their
example-not by bearing arms but by
forming the first trenches of defense,
viz, Food Conservation.
Every housekeeper; in fact, every
girl over 16 years, is asked to aid in
this way, and for this purpose regis
tration blanks are to be distributed.

ing him for this patriotic service, this
sentence occurs: "Union has a per-
feet score in everything in this war
so far and if all counties were like
yours America need never fear any,
thing"
Let us, as patriotic women, see to
it that Unions score is not lowered.
There are no fees or dues to be
paid to become members of the Food
