do so in carrying out the plans Tor
peace program.
He then introduced Miss Marion
Rowe of Boston, who has been APP

Miss Rowe represents not only

of Red Cross activities and gave
many valuable suggestions towards
outlining a plan of work for the

OF several suggestions offered Miss
Rowe gave it rs her opinion that diff
