Y. w. c. A. INCREASES
AID TO POLAND

Club centers for industrial girls. a
summer vacation camp and nurses
rest and recreation rooms are to be
established in Poland this year by
the Y. w. c. A, of America. The
continuation committee of the war
work council of the association has
just voted a $4,000 expenditure for
the women and girls of Poland who
are in dire need of immediate assist
ance. According to Miss Lois Downs,
a Y. w. c. A. secretary, just returned
from Poland, where she made care
full investigation into conditions af-
fecting girls and women, the girls are
in a state of shattered nerves, poor
health and general weakness because
of the strain and severe treatment of
the past few years. They have for
gotten how to relax and play; they,
as well as the children, are thin and
emaciated, and many of them have
been living in cold cellar rooms rms
winter. Several girls between the
ages of eighteen and twenty have
died of starvation.
The small club center started by the
Y. w. c. A. in Warsaw this past year
for the girls of the city has been
crowded every night and especially
over week ends, as II is the one place
where girls can find warmth and COM
fort. Girls are turned away from the
place constantly because of lack even
of standing room, and a very imme-
date need in Warsaw is for the open
ing of more such hospitality centers
A summer camp will give the girls
a chance to regain their health and
learn to enjoy life again, and the
nurses clubs will be a needed contri-
button to the movement for recruiting
more girls and fine type of girls to
the profession of nursing in that
country.
