Gentlemen:
You will find enclosed the report
of the Negro Womens War Work
Committee.
In these times of conservation along
all lines. | have endeavored to bear
In mind that conservation of space in
your valuable paper, for the thing
most important for the time being,
was necessity and, therefore, have
not submitted this report before, for
the reason that when it was made to
the local authorities here in Nashville
I'VE were told that we should receive
and official acknowledgement from
national headquarters, and l felt that
when that time came around it would
be in order to ask you to make one
publication answer the purpose.
Feeling that wherever the public is
concerned and is called upon to give,
it is entitled to final report is why
| am now submitting this one to you,
also, because it answers several in
uuiries that have been made as to
the final result of the campaign.
For the benefit of the general pub
lie, I'd like to state that when we
were asked to do this special work,
there were already two campaigns
launched among .our people, namely,
that for the Milk and Ice Fund for de-
pendent mothers and babies Of the
city, and that Of the Forward Quest
Girls Club. In view of these, 1t was
decided to give just few days or to
have whirlwind campaign of this
work, in order that we might go on
with the others: and pledged ourselv-
es to raise one hundred ($100) dollars
within the stipulated time.
In submitting the names and
amounts and the sum total, it may
seem very small, but, when these 9TH
er campaigns are taken into consider
alton and the multitudinous demands
made upon us each day, under all the
existing circumstances, aside from the
fact that there is no local Y. w. c. A.
for Negroes as an added stimulus,
those of us who did the work feel that
the response was very gratifying and
the effort well worth while.
|
Mrs Trawick, as General Chairman
for the state, she replied that in no
part of her work during the entire
campaign did she find more joy and
appreciation than in the splendid CO.
operation of our committee, and that
the amount RENTED was far beyond
her expectations. If nothing else was
accomplished, it was clearly demon
strated that we are endeavoring to do
our bit in all of these affairs in which
we are called upon to cooperate.
We have made the effort to give
credit to every one who contributed
and, to any who did give and fail to
see their names, | want to say that
they will remember to whom they
. made their gift, and it is included in
the amount solicited by that individu
al; as in the rush of the campaign
we did not get all of the names from
the different solicitors, but have civ
en- due credit for all monies brought
in by each solicitor to her.
