be restored in part through the efforts
of the Daughters the society having
pledged ISL 900 and to date more than
$4,000 of the amount has been raised.
District chapters are subscribing a
large amount as their share.
Probably one of the biggest problems
of the war for the District chapters
was the influx of thousands of war
workers to the capital, who came here
without rooming Accommodations. These
workers arrived in throngs, sometimes
a thousand day. The big question
was to find the necessary accomoda-
tons for them. The District chapters
co-operated with other organizations
