World Program OF The Y. W. c. A.

Miss Webb, the young woman sent from
headquarters in Philadelphia to organize
this county for the world program of the
| Young Womens Christian Association,
most delightfully."- entertained the Inquiry
Club of Rockville at meeting held with
Miss Lucy Simpson last Monday afternoon.
Miss Webb also spoke at the Woman's
Club, which met with Mrs. Barnes on
Thursday evening; after which Mrs. Jas.
H. Jones, county chairman of the world
program of the Y. W. C. A., had call
meeting of the executive board at Mrs.
Minor Anderson's, where Miss Webb again
spoke, saying, in part Through the world
war some have become more aware of the
difficult conditions affecting the lives Of
girls and women in relation to their eco
nomic. social, industrial. educational and
religious life. 1t is our obligation more
than ever. now that the war is over, to
continue to think in world terms and to
keep the needs Of women the world over
in the minds of the American public. This
is why we are spreading the literature
through every county. We must measure
the task and decide how much is our re-
sponsibility as individuals and as groups,
We must endeavor to awaken in all women
a recognition of their responsibility. 1t is
our immediate task to bring to every group
in this county knowledge of conditions
of he IS md hui hn
promotion of open forums and reading and
studying means by which better order
may be brought to pass. In meeting the
needs of women the Y. W. C. A. stands as
an instrument of service. Every woman
may share in the worlds construction by
enlisting the support of the community for
carrying on the world program of the Y.
W. c. A. 1t is our aim to inspire the en-
tire community to serve in furthering world
fellowship. Christian leadershipis needed
to exert its force in world affairs. 1t Is
the most glorious opportunity ever offered
American womanhood to extend her influ-
ence and ideas to the women of all nations.
Let it be our goal to make the most of
this opportunity. 1t was in the United
States that the first Y. W. C. A. was Or
eanized, and now it has spread to many
nations. and many more are calling to us
to send them instructors to organize the
Y. W. C. A. in their own countries We
are forced to realize our workers are too
few and our means too limited to answer
their earnest call. so find it necessary to
educate and broaden the minds of our
people in order that we may answer the
call from foreign nations.

the first time since its young men
went off 10 war more than four years

not forget 10 place flags and flowers

transport TuscanIa was torpedoed
early in 1917 and the transport
Otranto went down after a collision
last October.
The island people did not expect

Red Cross in London, and his per
sonal representative was Lieut..
James Jenres. a New York business
man who lives at Summit. y. j. The
Christmas party brought TO Islay
half a dozen big packing cases.
There were candy and toys for the
children, pipes and tobacco for the
old men, cigarets for the soldier sons
who were home for the holidays. and
comfortable things for the women.
Paiamss. nightshirts. underwear and
bed linen found their way into the
boxes. Besides there were bundles
