ADVISORY BOARD
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
Hold Enthusiastic Meeting AT
Home Of Chairman, Miss
Sue Munford
VICTORY GIRLS TO WORK

An enthusiastic meeting of the Pa
triotic League Advisory Board and
leaders, was held Tuesday afternoon
at the home of the chairman Miss Sue
Munford. Members from the county
were also present.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, who appointed Mrs.
Maud Biles to act as temporary secre-
tary in the absence of Mrs. Catch.
Miss Munford Immediately aroused
the interest of those present by dis
playing a Liberty Bond. the property
of the League. the last payment on
which had just been paid. The en-
thusiasm increased when she also an
nounced that of the $500 which had
been pledged by the leagues of Anne
Arundel county for the maintenance of
hospital bed in France, about 5000
had been turned in and the remaining
$100, no doubt, would have been raised
had it not been for the postponement
of entertainments because of the in
fiuenza epidemic.
After some discussion. a motion was
made and carried that the League
should not pledge itself to raise $766
each year for this purpose.
Miss Hedwig Schaefer was asked to
act as treasurer until the annual cleo
ton was held.
Miss Elurtha Roelfs, club director in
Anne Arundel and Prince Georges
counties, for the War Work Council
of the Young Wowen's Christian AS
sociation, who is taking Miss Sarah
Horizons place in the Patriotic League
work. then complimented the women
on their splendid work She spoke of
the advisability of working toward
permanency in organization, and ex-
pressed a hope that at some future
time these leagues, which were or
ganized under the auspices of the Y.
w. G. A., might some day become the
nucleus for a county association of
this organization, the one great wom-
ems organization which has done such
remarkable work that ii is recognized
by the Government in being grouped
with the other six organizations in
the United War Work Campaign. She
explained that its object was to pro-
vide girls with activities that would
develop all sides of their nature, men
tai, physical, spiritual and social. Now
is an opportune time to begin organi-
zation, as the War Work Council is in
position to give assistance which
perhaps could not be given in times
of peace.
When asked for opinions on the
subject of organization, the following
expressions were given:
Mrs T. ]. Linthicum, chairman of
the Mothers Circle: The girls need
development on all these lines.
thoroughly approve and would do all
in my power to help the work
Mrs. Theodore Johnson, County
Chairman, Council of Defense: 1t
should be done by all means.
Miss Linthicum, principal of the
High School: 1t is an opportunity
for permanent, constructive work.
Miss Anna Brayshaw, representa-
tive from Glen Burnie: 1t is too good
an opportunity to let pass
On the proposal of Mrs. Theodore
Johnson, a resolution was adopted that
steps be taken leading toward a per-
manent county organization of the
Y. w. c. A.
1t was also decided that the Advis-
ory Board and the leaders meet sep
arately in order to conserve time and
effort
Before the meeting adjourned, Miss
Eva Clark urged the leaders to in
terest their girls in the Earn and
Give" plan of the Victory Girls" for
the coming United War Work Cam
paign, by means of which each girl
between the ages of IL and 20 will be
asked to pledge $500 to give soldier
the advantages of the seven organiza-
tions for five weeks.
