1EtDutc ~ AuuAiU vvOuhCns
The Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense has issued
a public statement paying high tribute
to the women of Idaho for their war
activities. The statement says in
part: I'm the mountain regions Of
Idaho our women engaged in the reg
iGtration campaign have plOdded
through many feet of snow in binding
storms, sometimes on skis. In other
regions where the teams were used,
they have gone up to the hub in mud,
and in some sections Of the dry farm
districts, they went through deep dust.
The division reports 5000 women
signed for war service and every
county clamouring for more cards.
The registration work began Dec /.
Where the roads are impossible it has
ben carried on by mail. No one
wanted to be missed, writes the pub
licity chairman for Idaho. One
woman soliciting for newspaper,
reading of the drive due for a certain
week and thinking it would close at
the end of the week, telegraphed her
registration Offering to go anywhere
for her expenses Others telephoned
the newspapers, saying they were
going out of town and registrars had
not yet called on them, and they want
ed to know where to register. We
have been so pleased over the en-
thusiasm Of our foreign colonies.
Even among the Hungarians the
women are pledging their services.
In Pocatello Greek tailor closed his
shop and registered all the Greek
women for the registrars"
