the meeting was the presentation OF

ioyable TO her worthy aides, who have
given such loyal support to the chair

executive committee. who told Mrs
Nowland in a few Nords how much
the women appreciated her leadership
and wisdom, and how happy they were
to work under such direction as she
has given them in the loan campaign.

citation OF the kindly. spirit that The
gift conveyed 10 her from the workers,
although because OF the surprise she
was placed at a decided disadvantage.
