Y. VIC. A. COMMIT
TEE Is NOW ACTIVE

In raising quota from Hood Rive
county for the Y W. c. A. fund the
committee of Hood River women ex
poets to attain its ends without q
house to house canvass. A contribu-
ton box has been placed at the library
this week for receipt of funds.
Ushering in the weeks campa On
Dr. Ford Warner delivered an address
at Riverside church Sunday morning.
DR.. Warner served with the Y W. c.
A. in England, France and Russia and
recounted in an interesting manner the
work among the young women of those
countries She also outlined the plans
for continuing the work among the
women Of this country, including the
colored girls of the south and the for
eign born women Of the large cities.
When 80, 600 telephone operators
were sent to France, DR.. Warner said,
Gen. Pershing sent an urgent appeal to
the Y. W. c. A. 81 can take care of
men," he said, ''but am at loss to
know what to do with these girls
Can you not arrange to provide them
with homes while they are serving
with my army" The Y. W. c. A
met this emergency and acted in the
capacity Of mother to the American
girls engaged in overseas service.
From France Dr. Warner was trans
fered to Archangel, in northern Rus
sia, where she worked among the refu
gee girls. Three hundred young won
en- who had escaped the bolsheviki
were assembled in that city and the Y j.
W. c. A. took them under its shelter
ing wing, providing them.with educa-
tional classes and recreation.
In England, where thousands Of girls
were employed in munition factories,
the Y. W. c. A. performed signal
service, DR.. Warner said. She de
scribed the recreation and rest huts
provided in these congested centers.
The work will be continued. she de
clared, and will be made a world effort
for the education and uplift of women
A special work will be done in France,
where the women must shoulder the
resp sponsibilities of the men killed il
the war. In the United States, witt
woman suffrage soon to be in effect
| plans are being made for the education
of colOred girls of the south and for
eign born women of the large cities
The overseas committee will also con
tinue to meet appeals from France
Italy, the near east, Russia, and 81

expanding its program in China. Jap
an. India, Brazil, Argentine and Chile
In Hood River the committee, com
posed of Mrs. Thomas Flagler. Mrs
II. G. Ball, Miss Ershinger and Mrs
K. B. Bennett, is engaged in raising it
quota of $500. 1t is the hope of the
committee that, in the event Y. M
C. A. and Y. W. c. A. are established
here part or all of the fund raise(
may be used for the local project.
