PARIS, March 10.-Two we'll
known Georgia girls who arrived
here recently to serve with the Y.
NJ. c. A. have been given one OF
the most interesting assignments in
the association work.
The girls are Miss Elizabeth Tul-
erts. of Fairburn. They arrived at
Brest few days ago on the giant
liner Leviathan and now are in Paris
preparing to take over their new
job in a day or two.
According to present arrange
ments, they will be assigned to the
region around Chaumont in charge
of a series of rolling Kitchens
While rolling kitchens were used ex-
tensively by the Red Cross and the
army in the front lines during the
war, the Y. NJ. c. A. has confined
itself to stationary huts. Recently
the womans department of the ~
ems in the rear areas, on the Idea
that by this means troops bllleted
through widely scattered towns coulu
be more easily reached.
The rolling Kitchens in this case
probably will be Cadillac cars. ii
present plans work out, Miss Tuller
and Miss Roberts will have their
headquarters at Chaumont. where
they will load up their cars in the
morning with chocolate. cigarettes,
a days tour to different parts OF
the area, where they are sure to re-
ceive a warm welcome from thou
sands of hungry, homesick boys.
At present Miss fuller and Miss
Roberts are assigned to the Eighty
second division from their own home
town. 1t is the policy of the ~"
to assign it's workers to outfits they
know. and this was done in the. case
of Miss fuller and Miss Roberts,
the Eighty second being until re-
Gently between Langres and DIXON in
the Chaumont area.
In the last day or two, however,
the division has begun it's movement
cars, so it may be that the two
Georgia girls will not see the di-
vision they know so we'll, after all.
When the Eighty-second returns
home, two well-known Atlanta officers
will be missed from the ranks, for
they have voluntarily agreed to con-
tinue their foreign service.
Lieutenant Bill" McLaren, both of
Atlanta and both officers in the Three
Hundred and Twenty-eighth infantry,
are the pair They did not leave for
Bordeaux wit hthe division, but sign
ed up for longer stay in France and
now are waiting assignment.
while we were over here, we de-
cided we'd see all we could is the
way they put it. Were hoping now
to get assigned to the army of occu-
patton and get look at Germany"
A recent influx of several hundred
Y. NJ. C. A. workers, most of them
girls, has added a dozen or more
Georgia girls to those already serving
with the 'Y' in France. Besides Miss
fuller and Miss Roberts, there are
four girls from Atlanta and several
others from Georgia who have passed
through Paris in the last few days
