Burr and Burton had a visitor last
wetk, Miss Helen Hughes, who is field
secretary for the Young Women's
Christian Association On her arrival
on Thursday afternoon she conferred
with the cabinet Of our organization,
giving and receiving ideas. On Fri
day morning Miss Hughes gave a
short talk in chapel on the success Of
the Friendship Fund for which one
million and q half was raised instead
of the suggested million dollars, sup
plementing her remarks that after
noon at well attended meeting OF
the entire Y, w. c. A. 1t was very
special meeting for US fer Mrs.
Brooks sang. Miss Hughes defined
the general meaning Of the Y, w, C.
A. in this country and abroad, bring
ing US interesting glimpses Of news
from the front A more or less clear
ly defined program for our own organ
ization was mapped out for the com
ing year. Our visitors success is best
seen in the fact that six new member
have since joined our association.
We told you that b. B, S. was to
have a service flag and now it's come.
Each one of its "a stars means some
thing to you and to us. The flag
measures six by eight feet and is soon
to be unfurled Then, too, our own
most glorious stars and stripes will,
in the near future, wave over our
building. 1t was rather a problem
finding flag pole tall enough, but the
search was rewarded, Mr. Brooks
farm supplying just the one we want
ed
On Tuesday morning Dr. Pierce
stepped even beyond the bounds OF
his usual war work and lectured to us
on the care of the teeth. If we carry
out all sane and simple advice he gave
us there ought to be less work for the
dentists Of Manchester. We're happy
to know that he has promised u.s. an
other talk in the near future.
