Meeting of the Council of Defense
A meeting was held at the Wom-
ans Club yesterday afternoon by the
Ocala branch of the woman's division
of the Council of National Defense,
in the interest of the nationwide
drive for enrolment of student
nurses. The women attending the
meeting were thoroughly interested.
Marion county fully expects to go
over her quota. The secretary's re-
port follows:
Mrs. R. L. Anderson. chairman of
the Ocala branch. presided, and after
a beautiful prayer by Mrs. William
Wrighton, stated. the object of the
meeting and read some beautiful
pamphlets, "Nursing as field of Ma
tional Service" Mrs. Anderson's plea
for a wider interest in this important
branch of the war work was very
earnest, very fervid and very effect
i've and when she had finished there
was scarcely dry eye in the audi
ence.
Miss Music Bullock then led in the
singing of America, after which Mrs.
Wrighton read DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw's appeal to the women of AM
erica to enroll as nurses. Mrs.
Wrighton also gave short talk on
Canada and the war as she was more
familiar with this side of the great
struggle, being herself Canadian.
She said that 20 per cent of the
wounded recover and that because of
physicians in the hospitals have to
stop more important things to do
what the nurses could do if they only
had enough nurses.
Mrs. William Hooker was the next
speaker and she also added warm
and effective plea that the women and
girls of Ocala and Marion county
will not be slackers along this very
greatly needed field of usefulness
open to them.
After Mrs. Rockers plea Miss Mu-
sic Bullock sang most appropriately
l"Mothers of America"
Quite a good deal of interest in
this movement is being manifested in
Ocala and quite number have al
the movement and it is hoped their
interest will soon lead them to enroll
for training.

The Style Hat Shop. of which Miss
Smith and Mrs. Luckie are the pro-
prietors, has been in business much
less than year, but it has built up a
lflourishing trade, and it's prosperity
is certain to endure as long as those
two competent young ladies continue
to manage it.
