taken in the movement nationally by
states and counties and we are
steadily growing. 1t has been my
honor as well as pleasure to apply for
eight county Chapters in Idaho dur

chapters have been added this year
Your present war mother has also
had the honor of organizing the state
into district chapters and the results
obtained from the sessions have JUS
