TALKING of the bonds, it's really re-
/ markahe how every one is buying
them. isn't It? out on the Main Line.
they tell me, they are working like
besyers. You know they have Main
line committee for this series. The Boy
and Girl Scouts are doing their bit by
csnyasslng from house to house and
meeting all trains at the stations.
one Of the early morning trains was
stalled at Fifty-seGonG street on Liberty
nay for some time. After while Her.
bert Lloyd stood up suddenly and said,
Come on. fellows, let's sell Liberty
Bonds!" And, would you believe me,
right then and there they sold $4,000
worth in the smoking car.
The committee of women under Mrs.
Charles O'Donnoll Lee at St. Katherine's
Church in Wayne has been working
yery hard on the loan and has already
sold $2765O worth of bonds. Needless to
say, Il hopes to reach the 100000 mark.
The members of the committee include
Mrs. lang Greiner Miss Helen DevcrsuX
Mrs. Entrekin, Miss Leta Sullivan, Miss
Mary McDevitt, Miss Kate Mccarthy and
The Misses Jacobs.
They started out by having a big rally
and asked Mr.. Louis Watt. president of
the Wayne Title and Trust Company, to
speak Thdt very evening they sold
s2O,OOO worth of bonds,
Mrs J. s. c. Harvey, of Radnor Is the
director for Liberty Bonds under The
Delaware County committee of the Ma
tlonal Council of Defense and has or.
ganized women's committees in every
part of the county. Mrs, j, Claude Bed
ford of Media is chairman of the Media
committee. a big dinner was given re-
cently at the Charter House in Media
and all the returns were made. There
alone they had sold more than $40 900
worth of bonds.
NATALIE WALTON. that indefatigable
AZ little worker, is again about to do
something for her countrymen. It's an
other dance at the Torresdale Golf Club,
and it's going to be given on November /
instead Of Halloween, for goodness knows
every one is going to have a Halloween
affair.
The dance to be given will be the first
Of a series of subscription ones which
will be given to provide Christmas pres
ents for the boys in camp in America
You know Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Porter
! and Joe jennings are giving one in Chest
nut Hill at the Philadelphia Cricket Club
on October 81 for the Chestnut Hill boys
OF Camp Meade. Well, Torresda!e's party
Will be for Camp Dix. Next one will
probably be for Meade, and I'm sure with
camp Hancock and the troops from Phil
edelphia there, there'll be a party for them
later. You know two of the Walton boys
are in the Troop, and Dick Bulitt. too,
from that part of the country. Naturally
Their families will see to their Christ
masses, however, but it's well for us all to
remember there are others besides our
own and TO provide pleasure for them
whenever possible, and that is Miss Wal
IONS idea. She is chairman of the clubs
entertainment committee out there and
quite 9lls the bill, l should say.
