Work for the state organization is
we'll under way, and new interest
is awakening in the scope of war
work undertaken by the. Y. w. c. A.
In business efficiency, it is taking its
place as one of the strongest factors
in helping to work out plans of the
government, and some of the bright
est women in the entire country. are
devOting their time to its work in the
seven departments, of which the
Hostess House movement is perhaps
the best known, but which is scarcely
more far-reaching than that of the re-
mainingsix: Women Mn Industry;
Girls Adjacent to Camps; Foreign
Speaking Observation-Disclosures;
Social Morality; The Girl Overseas.
North Dakota should have a much
larger membership in the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, and it may
be safely stated that after the COM
in campaign, when the scope of its
influence will be much more widely
understood, organization will be estab
lished in dozens of localities where its
splendid accomplishments along the
lines of civilian as we'll as of army
service, will be appreciated and par
tieipated in. Opportunity is at all
times offered to communities to share
it's privileges and its pleasures
through local organizations which may
be built up.
