Rev. Dwight Cameron, who has recent

Institution for the future. but until the
present time it has hardly seemed pos

! AS the time drew near to close the
/ Y. W. c. A. rooms large number of
men and women decided that even
though it cost more sacrifice and more
effect, that in spite of the many calls
that have come of late and many more

| for Annistons young women AS a
! consequence a large gathering of rep

discuss the situation.

choice words the work accomplished
by the war work council and directed
the discussion regarding a permanent
